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: Jalen Pickett > 9.5 Points
Pickett has been awesome lately, sporting a nice usage and getting a huge uptick in minutes. It’s possible Denver rests some more bodies on the second leg of a back-to-back tonight.
BEST REBOUNDS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Daniel Gafford > 7.5 Rebounds
Dallas really needs Gafford to log major minutes, and he could own the paint against a depleted Nuggets frontcourt, especially if Denver rests additional rotation players.
BEST ASSISTS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Jamal Shead > 6.5 Assists
Shead dropped a clunker against Philly, but he played 30 minutes. He should get major burn again without Walter, Barrett, and Poeltl.
UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS PICK
Pick: TBD
