Yesterday’s NBA Player Props Recap

Yesterday’s picks got the week off to a good start, hitting on two of the three recommended plays. Jae’Sean Tate successfully eclipsed 2.5 assists, while Bojan Bogdanovic came in under 4.5 boards. Michael Porter Jr. fell just shy of successfully cashing the over on 21.5 points as well, finishing with 21 total. Indeed, a Monday sweep was just one bucket away.

NBA Betting Prediction: NBA Player Props | April 20

P.J. Washington Over 5.5 Rebounds

P.J. Washington NBA betting picks prediction

After missing a trio of games with an ankle injury, Washington returned to his usual big-minutes role on Sunday. His final line included 23 points, eight rebounds and four blocks, marking a massive impact in a Hornets frontcourt that continues to struggle with consistency. Washington has easily been the team’s best center when healthy and on the floor. After proving a successful recovery from the injury, it’s no wonder that Awesemo’s NBA Betting Player Props Tool loves Washington to exceed 5.5 rebounds tonight.

With a day off in between games, there’s no reason to think Washington won’t be able to play up to his season average of 30 minutes per game. In those minutes, he has averaged 6.4 rebounds per game. Washington will need to be assertive on the glass tonight considering Charlotte’s opponent, the Knicks, are a top-five rebounding team on the season. With the line being nearly one rebound fewer than Washington’s season average, the over is a great play at -134.

Eric Bledsoe Under 1.5 Made 3-Pointers

It is interesting to see the juice on this prop. Bledsoe certainly seems to have found the favor of Pelicans coach Stan Van Gundy recently; one need not look any further than his playing time to come to that conclusion. Despite very mediocre stats all season long, Bledsoe has exceeded his season per-game minutes average of 30.4 in four of New Orleans’ last five games. It remains to be seen if the return and ramp-up of Lonzo Ball will impact Bledsoe’s playing time significantly.

All that being said, Bledsoe’s increased minutes haven’t translated into more made triples. A 34.5% shooter from deep on the season, Bledsoe has only made more than one 3-pointer one time in the last six games. Prior to the three triples he hit in the Pelicans’ most recent outing (on nine attempts, mind you), Bledsoe had shot 3-for-23 from beyond the arc over the five preceding games. Bledsoe is not a player worth looking to back for much of anything this season in terms of NBA betting picks. Given where the juice is on tonight’s 3-point prop, pursue a little bigger payout on the under.

Naz Reid Over 10.5 Points

Reid has scored in double figures in each of the last two and five of the last eight games overall. While it doesn’t look like he will be in for a major minutes bump as Karl-Anthony Towns is not on Tuesday’s injury report, it’s hard not to be bullish on Reid and all Timberwolves given tonight’s matchup. The Kings are surrendering an NBA-worst 118.6 points per game to opponents. Three of the last five games have seen them allow even more than that. 

In addition to being the league’s worst scoring defense on the season, the Timberwolves are catching the Kings at a good time. Sacramento’s frontcourt is banged up at the moment. Both starting center Richaun Holmes and power forward Marvin Bagley remain sidelined by injuries. This opens up the door to taking advantage as part of today’s NBA betting picks. So long as Reid receives 20 or so minutes, his chance of exceeding the line is good, as 10.5 points lies just a half point lower than his season average.
