Wednesday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets

Let us look at the top player prop bets tonight.

Jaylen Brown Over 24.5 Points (-125 DraftKings)

This game is the best game of the night. Both teams have a legitimate chance to win the championship this year. The Cavaliers have won the previous two matchups. Both of those games went into overtime. Make sure to watch this game tonight.

The player to look out for tonight is Jaylen Brown. The Celtic’s primary scorer is Jayson Tatum. The Cavs will put their best defender on him. That will create additional opportunities for Jaylen Brown. Brown averages 26.5 points per game, but that number increases to 31 against the Cavaliers. The scoring consistency and more opportunity will help Brown score over the points.

Joel Embiid Over 10.5 Rebounds (-140 DraftKings)

Both of these teams are good defensively. The Heat is ranked second, while the 76ers are the third-best defensive team in the NBA. That means this game bettors should stay away from scoring prop bets.

Tonight the betting value is on rebounding. The defensive mindset of both teams will limit good scoring opportunities and create additional rebounding opportunities. The best player to rebound is one of the best centers in the NBA, Joel Embiid. He averages 10.4 rebounds per game, but the last time he played the Heat, he had twelve.

Ja Morant Over 27.5 Points (-120 DraftKings)

Tonight, the Grizzlies are playing one of the worst teams in the NBA. The Rockets are 13-47 and have the 25th-ranked defense. That means there will be plenty of scoring opportunities for the Memphis Grizzlies tonight.

The last time these two teams played, the Grizzlies scored 129 points. Ja Morant scored 49 of them. Tonight is an opportunity for Morant to do the same thing he did last time these two teams played. Bettors can take advantage of this matchup.
