NBA Player Props & Bets: Sunday (2/8)
With the main focus on the Super Bowl, the NBA offers up four games throughout the day. Despite the shallow slate, there are certainly no shortage of options to consider. Here are some of our favorite selections for Sunday, February 8.
Jaylen Brown 7+ Rebounds (-132)
We open up the night with a rebounding prop that was a favorite for Friday. The selection fell short on eight rebounds for a +123 return. However, for those who were looking to be less ambitious, seven rebounds was available at -143. The line is juiced up once again, yet that won't deter us from fading this play with a better payout.
Jaylen Brown is averaging 9.3 rebounds through the last 10 games played. Brown is also grabbing 7.3 boards each contest when playing at home. The veteran forward has met the requirement of seven rebounds or more in nine consecutive contests as the home team.
The forward for Boston has accumulated 9.0 rebounds in the previous five games against an Eastern Conference opponent. Given the recent form and the comfort of playing at home, we are certainly in favor of Brown finishing with seven rebounds or more in this contest.
Naz Reid 7+ Rebounds (+119)
This selection represents our largest return, and Naz Reid has fared very well in the rebounding department when facing an opponent in the Pacific Division. Reid comes into this contest averaging 7.3 rebounds over the last 10 games. When facing the Clippers this season, Reid finished with nine rebounds in 28 minutes.
The veteran forward has recorded at least seven rebounds in the three out of the previous four games when playing against the Los Angeles Clippers. Reid is averaging 7.4 rebounds when playing at home.
The forward for the Timberwolves has grabbed at least seven rebounds in six out of the last eight contests, for an average of 7.3 boards over that span. Reid accumulated seven rebounds or more in six consecutive games against an opponent in the Pacific Division.
Pascal Siakam 4+ Assists (-135)
Pascal Siakam heads into this contest dishing out four dimes per game, and is currently streaking on the suggested threshold for this contest. We hit on Friday with this play, and there is really no reason to jump off just yet. In what could be a fast-paced (no pun intended) contest, Siakam looks to be in a great spot to clear 3.5 assists.
The forward for the Pacers finished with at least four assists or more in five straight games played on the road. Siakim is averaging 3.9 assists when on the road this season. The forward for Indiana finished with four assists when the Pacers last played the Raptors on January 18.
The veteran forward has recorded at least four dimes in nine out of the last 10 contests. Siakim is averaging 4.5 assists over the last 10 games, and 4.3 in the previous 10 contests against an opponent from the Eastern Conference.
OG Anunoby 17+ Points (-108)
OG Anunoby is currently listed as questionable for this contest as of Sunday morning. Make sure to check back later on the Betting ProsApp for all of your up-to-date information. Anunoby seems to have a better chance of playing than not, which is why we are backing the New York Knick on this points prop.
Anunoby has scored 17 points or more in eight out of the last 12 games played. The forward for the Knicks is averaging 15.3 points on 47.5% shooting from the field when playing an Eastern Conference opponent this season.
The forward for New York has produced 17 points or more in five consecutive games. Anunoby is putting up 22.8 points on 55.8% shooting over that span. The veteran forward is also averaging 15.4 attempts through five games. If Anunoby can take the court this afternoon, we like our chances to score 17 points or more.
Carlton "Bub" Carrington Under 2.5 Three-Pointers (-117)
We close out the evening with a three-point prop that appears to be somewhat aggressive. Bub Carrington connects on 2.1 baskets from beyond the arc on the season, and the Wizards are on the second leg of a back-to-back in which they flew home from Brooklyn yesterday.
The young guard hits 2.2 baskets from distance , yet drops 2.1% of efficiency when playing at home. Carrington has made at least three shots from deep in the last one out of three games when playing a back-to-back at home. Miami held the Boston Celtics to only 10 three-pointers on Friday.
The guard for the Wizards is in a tough spot this afternoon, and with the decrease in percentage when playing at home, it may be best to take the Under on this prop. Carrington has only made three baskets or more from deep in two out the last seven contests.
Enjoy the games today, and best of luck with your picks!
