There is a massive NBA slate tonight. Wednesday’s hoops card features a whopping 13 games, with the action tipping off early and lasting deep into the night. When it comes to betting NBA player props, it does not get much better than a huge slate like this. You can easily enhance your handicapping process by including the redesigned Awesemo OddsShopper Tool as well as NBA betting tips today.

With help from the OddsShopper Tool, the following article highlights three must-bet prop predictions for Wednesday’s NBA action.

Best NBA Player Props & Betting Picks Tonight

With OddsShopper, finding the best NBA betting player props is fast and simple. All users have to do is filter the prop selections, sort the page and find the best pick to bet. The process is extremely quick and highly effective. Try out the tool for yourself tonight with the three featured prop bets below!

Kyle Kuzma Over 6.5 Rebounds (-128, FanDuel)

Perhaps getting away from LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers was all Kyle Kuzma needed to find his footing in the NBA. While his consistency as a scorer has remained unpredictable during the start of his time with the Washington Wizards, Kuzma has quietly been chipping in quality contributions in a number of statistical areas. He enters tonight’s matchup at the Detroit Pistons averaging 8.4 rebounds per game. Kuzma’s efforts have certainly been welcomed by a Wizards team that had major rebounding inefficiencies a year ago.

Tonight the NBA player props market lists Kuzma’s rebounding total nearly two full boards lower than his per-game average. The NBA betting market is juiced to the over, but Awesemo still believes that this is a positive-ROI play for bettors to pursue. The projections pick Kuzma to finish with 8.06 rebounds in tonight’s game. While that is below his average, it easily clears the betting total. Be sure to reference OddsShopper for the best value on your prop bet tonight. At the time of writing, a 15-cent discrepancy already exists between the favorable -128 odds and other sportsbooks.

Nikola Vucevic Under 4.5 Assists (-118, FanDuel)

One of Awesemo’s favorite NBA player props picks today is to take Chicago Bulls big man Nikola Vucevic under on his assists total. Vucevic comes into the day averaging 3.8 assists per game. Since returning from a brief absence, he has only cleared the line of 4.5 assists once in seven games. While he is one of the better passing bigs in the league, dishing out assists is far from Vucevic’s primary responsibility. Perhaps the oddsmakers have listed this line higher than his average for tonight’s game due to multiple Bulls teammates, including DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso, being sidelined. Nonetheless, OddsShopper still only projects him for 3.69 assists. The resulting expected ROI on this wager at -110 odds is a massive 34%.

Gary Trent Jr. Over 15.5 Points (-112, SugarHouse)

Since rejoining the Toronto Raptors lineup following a two-game injury absence, Gary Trent Jr. has struggled mightily with his shot. Trent has connected on just five of 24 total shots in his two games back. While Trent is averaging north of 16 points per game on the season, scoring totals of 8 and 6 points in the last two outings have come nowhere close. The poor shooting has resulted in Trent’s scoring total being listed a point lower than his average tonight at 15.5. OddsShopper believes the over is worth a play here, projecting him to score 16.54 points. Given that the Raptors face the dumpster fire that is the Oklahoma City Thunder, it certainly appears to be a good matchup for Trent to regain his stroke.

Note that OddsShopper does show a growing range in the prices associated with this prop bet for tonight. At the time of writing, the optimal -112 odds carry an expected ROI of 10%. Be sure to check OddsShopper before placing your bets to get the latest odds and ensure the best value possible.
