The Minnesota Timberwolves are playing some impressive basketball as of late, most recently beating the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night to make them 6-4 in their last 10 games. Minnesota is now sixth in the Western Conference, but it needs to keep winning with just three games separating the No. 13 and No. 4

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is on the brink of history, and DraftKings Sportsbook is allowing bettors to wager on when he will break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. James has been terrific in the 2022-23 season, averaging 30.2 points per game, and he’s just 89 points away from passing

The New York Knicks are two games back of the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference heading into the first matchup between these teams this season. The Knicks have struggled mightily at home in the 2022-23 season, going 9-15-2 against the spread and just 12-14 straight up. The team has lost back-to-back games to fall

The Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics renew their rivalry on Wednesday night, and there are a bunch of prop plays that I like in this game. All three of these plays are off the beaten path (not points, rebounds or assists only props), but they do provide some interesting value. Here are the breakdowns: Nets

Portland Trail Blazers guard Josh Hart. Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports NFL rumors: Eli Apple makes post-Cancun plans crystal clear by Scott Rogust The Memphis Grizzlies are looking to do some home cooking on Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers and Damian Lillard. Memphis got back on track with a win at home

The Orlando Magic pulled off an impressive upset win against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, and they’re looking to do the same thing again on Wednesday. Philly has been on a terrific stretch as of late, going 19-5 over its last 24 games. However, the Magic have also been impressive as well, and they’re

It was a rough start to the week on Monday with a dreaded reverse sweep in our NBA best bets, but I’m hoping we can turn things around on Tuesday night with the five-game slate. LeBron James could return for the Los Angeles Lakers against the New York Knicks, and I have an under the

Sometimes there aren’t a ton of spreads in the NBA where you feel like you can take advantage, and Monday’s slate happens to be one of those days for me. That’s the beauty of the prop market. I have three plays on Monday across three different games where we can get some value on players

The award markets in the NBA can be extremely volatile, as injuries, media narratives and head-to-head matchups can certainly sway things in the end of season voting. While some of those things apply to the league’s MVP market much more than the Most Improved Player market, I do think the odds for the MIP are

Sunday’s NBA slate gets started with the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat facing off at 1 p.m. EST, but we have just four games in total to bet on. With key players potentially sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back in the Milwaukee Bucks-New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Clippers-Cleveland Cavaliers matchups, I have

The Milwaukee Bucks are making a charge in the Eastern Conference, winning seven of their last 10 games, including three straight to pull within three games of the No. 1 seed. The return of Khris Middleton has really bolstered Milwakee’s offense, and the team is favored heavily at home against the New Orleans Pelicans on

We have a standalone game on Sunday night in the NBA, and there are plenty of prop bets to consider for the Milwaukee Bucks’ matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. I have picks for players on both teams, including an under-the-radar rebound prop for Pelicans wing Herb Jones. Here’s the breakdown for each play as

The Los Angeles Clippers are hot right now, now half a game out of the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference with a third straight win on Tuesday night. The Clips are massive favorites on Thursday night against the San Antonio Spurs, who rank last in the NBA in net rating and have lost

Thursday’s NBA action features six different games and the BetSided duo of Peter Dewey and Reed Wallach has you covered with some prop plays to make in the NBA. They’re both looking at New York teams and role players, which should make things even more interesting in a short slate of games. Here are Thursday’s

Wednesday night was bad-beat central for our NBA best bets, with only our alternate line parlay hitting out of the four picks. Not great, especially when Jordan Poole makes a game-winning shot to fall half a point shy of his prop. But hey, we bounce back today. It’s a shorter slate on Thursday night in

Wednesday’s primetime action features the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers but it’s possible both teams will be without their best players. Kevin Durant has already been ruled out for Brooklyn, and Joel Embiid (foot, questionable) could miss this game for Philly. That’s created some value in the prop market, especially if Embiid ends up sitting.

With a 10-game NBA slate on Wednesday, there are plenty of reasons to bet on some player props in the NBA. After combing through each matchup, I have a couple plays that I love in the prop market tonight. Let’s dive in: Best NBA prop bets record to date Best NBA prop bets today Draymond

The Boston Celtics are down several players on Tuesday night, including Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and Al Horford, when they take on the Miami Heat in an Eastern Conference Finals rematch. All of those injuries have shifted the prop market and the odds for this game, so how should we wager on it? Here are

It’s officially a prop night in my NBA best bets column, as I was going to play the Boston Celtics as underdogs, but Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart are both out. We nailed two props on Monday night, so why not stick with what’s working? I have a bunch of rebound props on the slate

The Miami Heat are one of the hotter teams in the NBA at the moment, and they’re looking to keep that going on the road against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night. Dallas is down a key player in forward Christian Wood (fractured thumb), who is the team’s second leading scorer this season. Someone is

Friday night brings us a bunch of NBA action, but I’m focusing my efforts on two games on the slate for today’s best bets. We’re starting with a prop and side in the Miami Heat-Dallas Mavericks game, and we’re ending the night with a play on the Oklahoma City Thunder, a favorite of mine this

Thursday night’s NBA action brings us a couple of primetime games, and I have a player prop pick in each for bettors who want to really get involved in the game. Both players have hit these props in at least eight of their last 10 games, so we’re banking on consistency to keep this going

The Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns are both struggling without their stars right now, as Phoenix is just 3-13 without Devin Booker this season and the Nets are 0-4 without Kevin Durant. Brooklyn’s offense has been brutal the last three games, scoring just 298 combined points in losses to the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio

There’s some rare air in today’s NBA best bets column, as I’ve put together a little parlay for the people in the New York Knicks-Washington Wizards game as one of today’s best bets. It’s been a terrific 2022-23 season, as we’re up over 11 units, and I’m looking to add to that with a spread

One of the best ways to bet on the NBA is through prop bets, and there are two players I have my eye on for Wednesday night’s action. Aaron Gordon and the Denver Nuggets are in the second game of a back-to-back, but that could give some value for the forward to have a big

The Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks are in primetime on Wednesday night, which means it’s a perfect time to dive into some prop bets for this game. This is all about Trae Young vs. Luka Doncic, but injuries on the Dallas side have opened up an avenue for us to take advantage in the prop

Tuesday night prop night anyone? The NBA best bets column keeps chugging along with a few more wins on Monday night, and I have my eye on a couple of guards to have big games on Tuesday, with just eight NBA teams in action. But first, can we talk about the winners from yesterday? In

Even though there are only four games in the NBA on Tuesday night, there are still plenty of bets that you can place. Sure, there’s always spreads, moneylines and totals to bet, but if one of those isn’t calling your name, betting props is a great way to attack the NBA. The BetSided team is

The NBA is treating us to a loaded afternoon slate on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and I have a few plays for the afternoon games to dive into. We had another profitable day on Sunday, moving us to 29-12 since the start of 2023. Let’s keep things rolling with a couple of favorites on

Here’s 3 options by Scott Rogust The Golden State Warriors can’t seem to win games on the road, losing once again on Sunday to the Chicago Bulls. The Warriors are 4-17 straight up away from

The Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks face off in primetime in what is a rematch of the first round of the playoffs from last season. Atlanta has been a bit of disappointment this season, sitting in the No. 9 spot in the East despite trading for Dejounte Murray in the offseason. The Heat, who have

The Sacramento Kings have been red hot as of late, climbing to the No. 4 spot in the Western Conference with three straight dominant wins over a couple lowly teams in the NBA. Now, the Kings get to face arguably the worst team in the league, the San Antonio Spurs, who come into this game

The Portland Trail Blazers need to right the ship soon, as they’ve gone from a team firmly in the playoff race in the Western Conference to a team fighting for a play-in spot with the No. 11 seed. Damian Lillard and company have lost seven of their last 10 games heading into Sunday’s matchup with

The Golden State Warriors are on the road again on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls, who are hoping to get DeMar DeRozan (questionable) back in the lineup. Golden State has been one of the worst road teams in the NBA, going just 2-7 against the spread as road favorites and 4-16 straight up away from

The Brooklyn Nets play just their second game without Kevin Durant this season when they host the Boston Celtics on Thursday night. Boston is on the second night of a back-to-back, which means it could sit a few players against an already shorthanded Brooklyn team. Kyrie Irving is going to have a big role on

In case you’ve been caught up in the football season and haven’t checked in with the NBA, you’ll be surprised to hear the defending champion Golden State Warriors are 20-21. Steph Curry has missed time, but even when he came back against Phoenix on Tuesday, they still lost to the Suns without Chris Paul, Devin

It’s a shame that injuries and rest are getting in the way of what looked like an unbelievable slate on Thursday in the NBA, as Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo are both out and Damian Lillard and Jaylen Brown are both questionable. But that’s not going to deter us from winning some NBA bets. Instead,

Looking to bet on some NBA props for Thursday night’s action? There are plenty of intriguing matchups to look at, but I’ve narrowed it down to my three favorite plays on Thursday night. Let’s dive in: Best NBA prop bets today record to date Best NBA prop bets today Thomas Bryant OVER 9.5 Rebounds Ben

It’s Kyrie Irving’s time to shine in Brooklyn, as Kevin Durant is out of the lineup with an MCL injury, leaving Irving to carry the load for the Brooklyn Nets for the foreseeable future. The Nets are currently second in the Eastern Conference behind only the Boston Celtics, their opponent on Thursday night. Boston beat

The Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks play for the fourth time this season on Wednesday night, and the Hawks won’t have Trae Young due to an illness. That opens a little value in the prop market, and there are three plays that I love for this matchup in Atlanta: Bucks vs. Hawks best NBA prop

What do you do when there are a ton of injuries in the NBA and you’re looking to bet? Only bet where you feel comfortable. Sometimes, we feel obligated to place bets on games, but if you don’t have a good feeling, there’s no harm in staying away. That’s what I’m doing for the most

For the fourth time this season, the Atlanta Hawks take on the Milwaukee Bucks, this time in Atlanta on Wednesday night. The Hawks have underachieved so far this season, currently sitting two games below .500 and holding the No. 9 spot in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee is in the No. 3 spot in the conference,

It’s been an unreal stretch for yours truly in my NBA column, and as long as I’m hot I am going to implore you to tail these picks. Sound fair? We put up a 2-1 day on Monday night to move to 19-5 over the last eight days, probably the best stretch I’ve had in

Stephen Curry is back for the Golden State Warriors and the defending champs will look to pick up their play and make a run at the Pacific Division, which they are only a game-and-a-half behind leader Sacramento Kings. The Warriors face a fellow Pacific Division foe in the Phoenix Suns, who are reeling without Devin

There are few things better than wagering on player props in the NBA, especially with some of Monday’s games featuring a bunch of injuries (which means we can find value in the prop market). I have three plays that I’m looking at today, and one star is a little undervalued if he returns to his

The Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers face off on Sunday night in what may be the best game of Sunday’s NBA action. The Clippers are in desperate need of a win, as they’ve lost five straight heading into this matchup against an Atlanta team that has underperformed expectations so far in the 2022-23 campaign.

There is no other way to say this, so I’m just going to say it. I can’t miss. I’m on the hottest betting stretch of my life in the NBA, hitting 11 consecutive bets over the last three days, and I don’t plan on slowing down tonight. We have four games to dive into in

There are two terrific primetime matchups in the NBA on Thursday night, and yours truly has a prop bet play for each of them. Betting props allows you to focus on a sole player, or a smaller aspect than the full-game outcome. In the Boston Celtics-Dallas Mavericks matchup, I have a player prop on a

The Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets are both on five-game losing streaks heading into their matchup in Houston on Thursday night. Utah has fallen off a cliff since the beginning of the 2022-23 season, and it is only half a game up on the Minnesota Timberwolves for the No. 10 spot in the Western Conference.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic are both in the second game of a back-to-back on Thursday night, and both teams have thrived in that spot this season. Ja Morant’s Grizzlies are 3-1 against the spread in the second game of a back-to-back in the 2022-23 campaign, while Paolo Banchero and the Magic have gone

The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks played one of the closest and toughest series of the entire playoffs last year in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

LeBron is something like a Christmas Day tradition. He’ll play his 17th Christmas Day game of his career when his Los Angeles Lakers travel Texas to face the Dallas Mavericks and Luka Doncic. I’m sure Doncic will be a Christmas mainstay for the NBA in the years to come, but his Mavs are just 17-16

You’d be hard pressed to find a day where I’m not all in on watching the NBA action, but the schedule makers certainly made things tough today with the two matchups on Dec. 22.
