Free NBA DFS Picks Cheat Sheet For 12/14
Our NBA betting cheat sheet today is ready to roll! Let’s get into some picks.
BEST POINTS PROP: Joel Embiid & Luka Doncic
Justin Carlucci has been on a roll and has two points player props in his NBA article for today.
Head on over there to check out the free picks, along with the reasons for the selections!
BEST REBOUNDS PROP: Deandre Ayton > 9.5 Rebounds
Ayton comes up against his old employers in Phoenix, with the visiting Lakers favored by 1.5 points. He’s averaging 10.8 rebounds per 36 minutes through the first 22 games of the season (Basketball Reference).
BEST ASSISTS PROP: Julius Randle > 6.5 Assists
Anthony Edwards has been ruled out for the Timberwolves, and we expect Randle, already one of the best passing big men in the league, to play even more of a fundamental role in the offense.
UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS: Deni Avdija > 48.05 Fantasy Points
Avdija is averaging 26.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists per 36 minutes. Vegas is liking Portland’s chances of at least staying competitive at home against Golden State.
