  • Trae Young is out, and so are a few Pelicans, creating value in a nice game environment

Raptors vs Hornets

  • High game total (230.5) with basically a pick’em spread
  • Brandon Miller downgraded to Q could create more opportunity for cheap value

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 Williams > 20.5 Points

Justin Carlucci wrote about Jalen Williams at our best NBA props page. Check out his full analysis and more free picks! He is also very high on a few PRA props.

BEST REBOUNDS PROP

NBA Player Prop: Collin Murray-Boyles > 5.5 Rebounds

This is pretty much based on playing time. CMB has been starting the last couple of games without Poeltl. He only cracked 25 minutes in five games (a few other games were close to the 25-minute mark though), and he covered this number in three of those appearances.

BEST ASSISTS PROP

NBA Player Prop: VJ Edgecombe > 3.5 Assists

Edgecombe has averaged 6.8 potential assists over his last 10 and 4 assists per game during that stretch. He draws an elite matchup against the Wizards.

UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS PICK

Pick: Derik Queen > 32.65 Fantasy Points
Pick: Deni Avdija > 46.65 Fantasy Points
