Top 4 NBA Player Prop Bets for Wednesday (2/16)
View the best player prop bets for tonight’s slate with our NBA Prop Bet Cheat Sheet >>
Nikola Jokic OVER 47.5 Pts, Reb & Ast -115 (DraftKings)
This play is just as much about the league’s reigning Most Valuable Player as it is how the Warriors looked against Ivica Zubac in their last game. He was all over the boards, getting putback layups and drawing plenty of fouls. Now let’s look at Jokic, averaging 25.7 points, 15.3 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game in the last three, with a triple-double mixed in. The Nuggets should be able to hang around for a while as long as the Joker stays active and aggressive, and he should be able to get past this number, which he has in each of the last three, and four of the last five.
DeMar DeRozan OVER 32.5 Points +100 (DraftKings)
DeMar DeRozan is doing everything he can to keep the Bulls afloat. The Bulls have won four in a row on the back of SIX straight games of 35 or more points from DeMar, and an average of 38.7 points per game over this stretch. There is no reason to think the Kings should be able to contain him. Sacramento ranks 22nd in the league at guarding the mid-range, and if you have watched basketball for the last decade, you know he is a mid-range assassin like no other! Look for him to approach 40 once again!
Dejounte Murray Triple-Double +205 (DraftKings)
When I look at this line, I look for teams who I think he can get double-digit rebounds against, as he has averaged 10.5 assists a game in his last 16. He also had a triple-double in his last head-to-head matchup with the Thunder. He has upped his game this season, and with Derrick White off to Boston, he has the full confidence of the Spurs to be their point guard now and in the future.
Bojan Bogdanovic OVER 17.5 Points -110 (DraftKings)
Bojan Bogdanovic is one of those players that when there are injuries on the team, his stock doesn’t improve much, as the Jazz’s gameplan is built around others getting looks. But the Jazz are finally back to full strength, and as a result, his numbers have improved over the last five. He has gone over 17.5 points in four of the last five games, with three games of 20 or more points. He averages 18 points on the nose over that stretch, and I like his chances to do it again tonight!
