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
Pick: Kevin Durant > 24.5 Points
Durant has been playing heavy minutes and producing at an elite level as usual. Tonight, KD gets a strong matchup against the tanking Kings, and he should be able to score and create offense at will. The Rockets are favored by 13.5 at home, despite being without Amen Thompson.
BEST REBOUNDS PROP
Pick: Nikola Jokic > 12.5 Rebounds
The big man has been a beast on the boards lately, even more so than usual. He’s grabbed 13.7 rebounds a contest over his last 10 games and is averaging 19.8 rebound chances a game on the season.
BEST ASSISTS PROP
Pick: Ty Jerome > 4.5 Assists
Whenever he’s been active, Jerome’s usage rate has been incredibly high. He’s not on the injury report for tonight’s home game against the shorthanded Warriors. Jerome is averaging 19.3 points and 5.7 assists across only 20.6 minutes per contest through his first seven games with Memphis. The guard is putting up 33.8 points and 10.0 assists per 36 minutes in the small sample size.
Good luck!
