Free NBA DFS 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: Derrick White > 19.5 Points
Justin Carlucci wrote about White at our best NBA props page. Check out his full analysis and more free picks!
BEST REBOUNDS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Jock Landale > 6.5 Rebounds
The Grizzlies will be without a handful of role players (including center Zach Edey) who would typically cut into Landale’s playing time. They’ll be desperate for size against Joel Embiid. When Landale has seen minutes, he has created a ton of rebound chances.
BEST ASSISTS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Cade Cunningham > 9.5 Assists
Cunningham leads the NBA in potential assists per game, and the Pistons will battle a Lakers team that ranks outside the top 20 in defensive efficiency.
UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS PICK
Pick: Luka Doncic > 56.15 Fantasy Points
A high number, but Luka’s averaging a ridiculous 33.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.2 assists per 36 minutes in 23 games this season (Basketball Reference). Austin Reaves remains out.
Good luck!
