Saturday's Best NBA Player Prop Bets

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Pascal Siakam 20+ Points (-125)

The Pacers are one of the hottest teams in the league and are charging up the Eastern Conference standings. On December 8th, they were 10-15; since then, they have gone 13-4 and are the No. 6 seed. 

They will go up against the 76ers, tonight who have lost four straight. Injuries have plagued them all year. They will be without Kyle Lowry, Caleb Martin and Joel Embiid. Pascal Siakam has been the Pacers’ best scorer recently, leading the team in points in four of the last five games with at least 20 points in each game during that span. He went for 23 in the last matchup between these two teams. 

Steph Curry 28+ Points (-105)

We thought we were seeing the resurgence of the Warriors after they started the year 12-3, but they have plummeted since, and are 8-17 in their last 25 games. Injuries have played a factor with some of their role players, including Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Steph Curry, missing some games.

They have a tough stretch coming up, so they must take advantage of tonight’s matchup against the Wizards, who have the worst record in the league and have lost eight straight games. Curry is doing his best to keep this team in contention and has led the team in points in four of the last six games. Washington is a bottom-tier defense, including against point guards, allowing the most points per game to the position (27.2).
