There may be an NFL Thursday Night Football game on tap, but bettors should not sleep on the NBA this evening. Six games are set to take place across the Association tonight. Several superstars will be in action, including a pair of star point guards going head-to-head, as Ja Morant and the Grizzlies battle Stephen Curry and the Warriors. When it comes to betting NBA player props, however, by no means are bettors limited to the game’s biggest names. The revamped Awesemo OddsShopper Tool is the perfect resource to help you find optimal NBA betting picks in three quick and easy steps.
With a little help from both the OddsShopper Tool and the projections found in Awesemo’s NBA Betting Player Props Tool, let’s explore three must-bet prop predictions for Wednesday’s slate.
Best NBA Betting Player Props & Betting Picks Tonight
With the newly renovated Awesemo OddsShopper Tool, finding the best NBA betting player props is extremely easy. Simply filter the bet selections, sort the page, and find the best pick to bet. The process is fast, simple and effective. See below for an example of how to use the tool for one of tonight’s NBA player props.
Lonzo Ball Over 5.5 Assists (+105) at Caesar’s Sportsbook
Offseason acquisition Lonzo Ball has averaged 36 minutes over his first four games with the Bulls. Although he is not considered to be part of Chicago’s newfound big three, Ball has fit in quite well playing alongside DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. He recorded a triple-double in the second game of the season and buried five 3-pointers in Monday’s win over the Raptors. Awesemo’s NBA player props projections like Ball to exceed 5.5 total assists in tonight’s showdown against the Knicks. While this is a line that Ball has only surpassed once this year, the projections still give the over a 60% expected win percentage. Thanks to plus-money odds, the expected ROI for this over prediction is 24%.
Christian Wood Over 18.5 Points (-116) at FanDuel Sportsbook
One look at the Rockets depth chart, and it seems this is another season that will be spent building for the future. Houston has an intriguing core of young players, though, including Christian Wood. He has been on a tear to begin the season, notching two double-doubles and falling one rebound shy of two others. Wood has twice scored 20-plus points and has finished with no fewer than 16 in any game so far. Awesemo’s NBA Player Props projections are extremely high on him to go over 18.5 points tonight against the Jazz. Wood has played 36 minutes in each of the last two games and should be in line for plenty of run again this evening. This prop is a full point higher at some books in the betting market. Make sure to use the OddsShopper Tool to find the best number and odds when placing NBA betting picks.
Dejounte Murray Under 7.5 Assists (-165) at DraftKings Sportsbook
Dejounte Murray has emerged as a key facilitator for the Spurs through the first four games. He is riding high after posting a triple-double against the Lakers two days ago. Despite that impressive performance and an average of nine assists per game, Murray has only cleared the NBA betting line of 7.5 assists twice this year. Awesemo’s NBA player props projections do not foresee him reaching that mark tonight. The OddsShopper Tool comes in handy for this prediction, as Murray’s total assists prop is largely set at 6.5 across the market. Despite needing to lay significant juice to play under 7.5, the projections still give this prediction an expected ROI of 15%.
