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: Jamal Murray > 26.5 Points
Normally, we don’t try to pick on the Pistons, but the Nuggets are going to keep leaning on Murray and Peyton Watson due to the mounting injuries. Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson and Christian Braun are all out.
BEST REBOUNDS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Domantas Sabonis > 10.5 Rebounds
Sabonis is back in Sacramento’s starting lineup and is getting closer to full strength following his long injury layoff. He’s pulling down 13.7 rebounds per 36 minutes in 16 games (12 starts) this season.
BEST ASSISTS PROP
NBA Player Prop: James Harden > 8.5 Assists
Still one of the best playmakers in the game, Harden’s consistent play has been a big reason for the Clippers’ surge. He’s finished with nine or more assists 17 times in 2025/26 so far.
UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS PICK
Pick: Ryan Rollins > 40.35 Fantasy Points
Giannis and Kevin Porter Jr. are both out for Milwaukee. Rollins is in the midst of a breakout season and should have an elevated offensive role against the 76ers.
Good luck!
