There are just two NBA games on Super Bowl Sunday, but that’s not going to stop me from giving out plays in both of the matchups. The Boston Celtics are favorites against the Memphis Grizzlies in what should be a terrific game, while the Toronto Raptors fight for a playoff spot continues against the Detroit

The Milwaukee Bucks have won eight straight games with Khris Middleton back in the lineup, and they’re looking to keep that streak going against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but the Lakers still lost that game.

For the second time this season, the Boston Celtics will face the Philadelphia 76ers in a rivalry matchup. These two teams faced off on opening night with Boston getting the better of Philly in a 126-117 win. Both teams are in the top three in the Eastern Confernece this season, with the Sixers sitting just

It’s a rare day that I’m not betting a prop in the NBA, but I’m staying away on Tuesday and rolling with two spread picks and a moneyline favorite on Feb. 7. We picked up a pair of spread wins on Monday night, moving our season record to 19 picks over .500. Let’s keep the

The Boston Celtics are massive favorites on Monday night against the lowly Detroit Pistons, but Jaylen Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for tonight’s game. That may create some value in the prop betting market, especially for Brown’s co-star, Jayson Tatum, if he ends up sitting. Here are two prop bets to consider for Monday’s

The weekend is here, so it’s time to place some bets. There are nine NBA games to bet on tonight, and if you’re looking for some spread bets, check out my best NBA bets article here. If you’re more of a props bettor, or if you just want to supplement your spread bets with a

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 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

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

Sunday was a tough one for the Los Angeles Clippers, but outside of that 122-99 loss to Cleveland, they’ve been rolling. Prior to Sunday, they had ripped off five straight wins and now sit at 28-25, which is somehow good enough for the fourth seed in the Western Conference. They’ll look to get back into

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

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 Miami Heat are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now, winning three straight games and seven of their last 10 matchups to jump into the No. 6 seed in the East. Miami has finally gotten healthy after losing Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro, Victor Oladipo and others for stretches in

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

When there are 10 NBA games in action, you know we’re going to have plenty of plays to make in the NBA best bets column. But first, I need to talk about last night, because we survived the sweat of all sweats in the Los Angeles Lakers-Los Angeles Clippers game. Kawhi Leonard ended up hitting

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

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.

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

What better way to start the week than betting on some NBA props? I’m eyeing a pair of big men for Monday’s edition, and we’re looking to the glass with a couple of rebound props. Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic has a favorable matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, while Domantas Sabonis may be due for

The Minnesota Timberwolves play a second straight game against the Houston Rockets, who have the worst record in the NBA this season. Houston is downright awful this season, losing 13 straight games and passing the Spurs for the worst net rating in the NBA over its last 10 games. The Rockets don’t have a true
