Free NBA DFS Picks Cheat Sheet For Today
Our NBA betting cheat sheet today is ready to roll! We enjoyed a sweep here yesterday. Let’s get back to it.
Let’s break it down!
BEST POINTS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Michael Porter > 24.5 Points
Justin Carlucci featured Porter as one of his best NBA props today. Check out the full analysis and more free picks!
BEST REBOUNDS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Jock Landale > 7.5 Rebounds
We can’t understand why they keep hanging this line here. Even if he doesn’t start again, this game environment should be ridiculous.
BEST ASSISTS PROP
NBA Player Prop: De’Aaron Fox < 5.5 Assists
Feels weird betting an under on a starting point guard at 5.5 dimes. That being said, Dylan Harper is back in the fold playing real minutes, and there are a ton of bodies now. Fox has only averaged 10.7 potential assists per game across his last 10 contests, and the matchup against OKC is brutal.
UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS PICK
Pick: Cade Cunningham > 49.45 Fantasy Points
Cunningham’s enjoying another stellar season, averaging 26.7 points, 9.3 assists and 6.4 rebounds per 36 minutes (Basketball Reference). This is not a matchup to shy away from against the 7-22 Kings, with Detroit currently favored by 9.5 on the road.
Good luck!
