Tuesday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Kevin Durant Over 26.5 Points (-122)
In the last five games, Kevin Durant has recorded at least 27 points in three of those games. He’s played an average of 35.3 minutes per game over the last 10 games, but that has increased to 37.3 minutes per game in the previous five games.
Durant has shot about 55% from the field over that span and has attempted over 19 shots per game over the last 1o games.
Tonight, he’ll battle a Chicago team that ranks dead last in points allowed to power forwards. The Bulls allow the most field-goal attempts and field goals made by power forwards in the NBA. Beyond that, they’re also dead last in free throws attempted. Durant should get a solid amount of freebies if he stays aggressive. Take the over.
Oso Ighodaro Over 4.5 Rebounds (-130)
Over the last three games, Oso Ighodaro has added no more than three rebounds in any game. However, throughout the season, he’s nailed this line in nearly 50% of games and earned six rebounds against the Miami Heat on December 7th.
In fact, he’s hit at least five rebounds in six of his last 10 games and will now face a Miami squad that ranks dead last in total rebounds allowed to power forwards this season. In addition, the Heat rank 29th in offensive rebounds and 28th in defensive rebounds allowed to power forwards.
Igodaro has played more than 23 minutes per game over the last 10 games. He’s also had more than 10 rebound chances per game during that stretch. We’ll take his over in rebounds.
Naz Reid Under 18.5 Points (-112)
Over the last 10 games, Naz Reid has added at least 19 points in just three of those games. He’s coming off a 17-point performance, despite playing more than 31 minutes against the Spurs last time out.
In addition, he’s shot below 50% from the field over the last 10 games and has attempted just above 12 shots per game. It’s unlikely he’ll shoot above those numbers, especially knowing that the Bucks rank second in the NBA in three-pointers and three-point attempts by centers this season.
Ultimately, Reid has taken about six three-point attempts per game over the last 1o games. He’s also shot 40% from deep in those. Against the Bucks, all of that is unlikely.
