Thursday’s NBA Player Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Denver Nuggets

Both of these teams are in the top four teams in the NBA. That means this game is the premier matchup of the night. The talent in this game is some of the best skills in the NBA. The two best talents in this matchup are Donovan Mitchell and Nikola Jokic. 

Tonight’s bet is high risk and high reward. Jokic is a two-time MVP that could win another this season. He averages 24.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 10.1 assists per game. That means he averages a triple-double. The last time these two teams played, Jokic scored 28 points, 15 rebounds, and ten assists. Bettors can take advantage of Jokic’s consistency tonight. 

Nikola Jokic – Over 45.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-105)

Indianapolis Pacers vs. Boston Celtics

There are plenty of talented players in this game. Tyrese Haliburton, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are all-star players. The key to betting on these players is to bet on consistency. 

The most consistent player in this game is Tatum. He averages 9.31 three-point attempts per game. That is the fourth most in the NBA. The number of shots he takes and Tatum’s 35.7% shooting percentage means Tatum makes more than three of these shots per game. That consistency gives Tatum betting value tonight. 

Jayson Tatum – Over 3.5 Three Pointers (+125)

Sacramento Kings vs. Portland Trail Blazers

These are two of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. The Kings are the 23rd-ranked defense, and the Trail Blazers are the 18th-ranked. That means there is a betting opportunity for players to score points. 

One of my favorite players this season has been Murray. Last year he was one of college basketball’s best scorers. This year he averages 11.9 points per game. He didn’t play the last time these two teams met, but the final score was 115-108. That means there will be plenty of scoring opportunities for Murray tonight. 

Keegan Murray – Over 11.5 Points (-115)
