Wednesday’s Best NBA Player Props & Picks
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Domantas Sabonis 14+ Rebounds (+108)
Domantas Sabonis has grabbed at least 14 rebounds in two of his three games. Even when he failed to hit that number, he still managed 12 boards, giving him a very high floor entering tonight's game against the Bulls. Sabonis is averaging 14.7 rebounds per game. For some players, this average would be chalked up to early-season success that isn't going to last. However, Sabonis finished last year averaging 13.9 boards per game.
The Bulls are allowing 45 rebounds per game, which ranks in the bottom half of the league thus far. And while it's not much of a sample size, in his only game against the Bulls last season, Sabonis grabbed 15 rebounds.
Nikola Jokic to Record a Triple-Double (+120)
Nikola Jokic has recorded a triple-double in all three games this season, and tonight, he gets to face a defense allowing 123.3 points per game. While you could consider taking Jokic to top 50 combined points + assists + rebounds, my biggest concern with him in this game is that the Nuggets are favored by 12.5. If his team dominates the way oddsmakers expect them to, Jokic may see reduced playing time.
Yet, when Jokic is on the court, he's going to have no trouble against the team that allows the second-most rebounds per game. The only stat that will be tough for Jokic to pad his numbers is assists, as the Pelicans are allowing just 23.3 per game, which ranks sixth in the league. But Jokic just dished out 10 against the Timberwolves, a team allowing just 1.5 more assists per game than the Pelicans.
Lauri Markkanen Under 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (+118)
Lauri Markkanen leads the league with 4.7 three-pointers per game. He's averaging 11 three-point attempts per contest, and he's attempted 13 shots from beyond the arc in back-to-back games. While he's made at least four threes in all of his games this season, I like him to hit the under tonight.
The Trail Blazers have started the year hot against three-point shooters. They're allowing opponents to make just 39.5% of their attempts, resulting in an average of just 12.5 threes made against them per game. Markkanen averaged just 2.9 made threes per game last year, and it's just a matter of time before he levels out from his hot start.
