Free NBA Picks Cheat Sheet For Today

Our NBA betting cheat sheet today is ready to roll!

Let’s break it down.

BEST POINTS PROP

NBA Player Prop: Joel Embiid > 28.5 Points

Embiid has been playing more minutes and producing at an elite level recently. Ahead of a home matchup with the Kings, the big man is averaging 29.8 points on 20.8 field goal attempts per 36 minutes in 26 games this season.

BEST REBOUNDS PROP

NBA Player Prop: Moussa Diabate > 10.5 Rebounds

An important part of Charlotte’s resurgent play, Diabate is grabbing 12.4 rebounds per 36 minutes through 44 games, 18 of which have been starts. He’s averaging 19.2 rebound chances a contest, the 10th-most in the NBA.

BEST ASSISTS PROP

NBA Player Prop: Josh Giddey > 7.5 Assists

UPDATE: Giddey is now questionable to play.

The minutes have slowly been ramping up for Giddey, and the Bulls playmaker is dishing out the third-most potential assists per game (15.6) in the entire league, trailing only Cade Cunningham and Nikola Jokic. Tonight’s home matchup with the Heat looks to be a strong one to target for DFS and betting purposes.

UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS PICK

Pick: Nickeil Alexander-Walker > 33.95 Fantasy Points

Good luck!
