Best NBA Player Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Wednesday (12/21)

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Portland Trailblazers

Portland is one of the most fascinating teams to watch this season. They have multiple players that can score in different ways. That makes them one of the toughest teams to stop from a defensive perspective. 

My favorite player to watch from Portland is Damian Lillard. Lillard can score whenever he wants. The addition of Jerami Grant and the emergence of Anfernee Simons have only made Lillard better. That means Lillard has value in scoring baskets tonight against the Thunder. 

Lillard Over 28.5 Points (-120)

 Boston Celtics vs. Indianapolis Pacers

Boston is the best team in the NBA. That is because they have two top scorers and play great defense. That makes them a top contender for winning a championship this year. They also have a leading MVP candidate.  

That MVP candidate is Jayson Tatum. He shoots the ball at a remarkable rate and averages 30.2 points per game. Tonight they go up against the Pacers, one of the lesser defensive teams, and lack the depth to play quality defense against Tatum all game. That gives Tatum great betting value tonight.

Jayson Tatum Over 28.5 Points (-120)

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Both of these teams have a good defense. They take pride in making it difficult for other teams to score. That gives tonight a chance of being a lower-scoring matchup. That makes the under one of the most valuable plays tonight.

Donovan Mitchell is one of the best-scoring guards in the league. Tonight he plays against one of the top defenses. That means he will have limited opportunities to score baskets. There aren’t many times to bet against Mitchell scoring points, but tonight is one of them.  

Donovan Mitchell Under 26.5 Points (-115)
