Monday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
This Season: 37-36 (+6.10 units) | Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook
Miles Bridges Over 24.5 Points (-115)
With LaMelo Ball out again, Miles Bridges will continue to be the key piece of this offense. He's scored at least 22 points in five consecutive games, and he just dropped 24 against the Denver Nuggets in his last contest. While he's only gone for 25 in two of his last five, he is about to take on the worst-scoring defense in the NBA.
The Wizards are allowing 121.8 points per game. They're the only team in the league allowing over 120. Over their last three games, they're allowing just 114.3 per contest. While that line is a significant improvement from their season average, it's still not very good. I'd be happy to take Bridges at a higher number, but the only one being offered right now is 30, and he hasn't scored that many points since December 30. Play it a little safe in the best matchup Bridges will face all season.
Cade Cunningham Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (+150)
After allowing the most three-pointers per game all season, the Hawks have finally improved their defense enough to move ahead of some teams. They still rank 28th in the league and are allowing 14.4 three-pointers per game, though, but over their last three contests, they're allowing just 10.7 per game. While they're much improved, I think this number for Cunningham is a bit of an overreaction to the Hawks' recent success.
Cunningham is averaging 2.3 made three-pointers per game, but he's struggled of late. He's made more than two three-pointers in just two of his last nine games. He hasn't made more than three three-pointers in a game since January 13th. And yet, his over is still the right play tonight, mainly because of the price. Against one of the worst three-point defenses in the league, you have to take Cunningham to go over his season average at +150 odds.
Giannis Antetokounmpo 14+ Rebounds (+100)
Giannis Antetokounmpo enters tonight's game with one of the highest rebounding floors in the NBA. He's pulled down at least 10 boards in 20 consecutive games after going for 11 against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. He puts his streak on the line against the Thunder, a team ranked 29th in the league in rebounds allowed per game.
Antetokounmpo ranks fifth in the league in rebounds per game, but his season average is still 1.8 below this total. That said, this is a fantastic matchup, as the Thunder haven't been able to stop anyone all season. Plus, Antetokounmpo has pulled down at least 14 rebounds in two of his last four games. He had 18 against the Utah Jazz last Monday. For this price, in this matchup, Antetokounmpo's over is a must-play.
