Saturday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Julius Randle Over 17.5 Points (-125)
The Timberwolves are playing well at the right time. They are 13-3 in their last 16, which has helped them move out of the NBA Play-In Tournament. They currently hold the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.
They get a chance to keep that momentum going against the 76ers, who are on a 10-game losing streak and have shut down most of their stars. Julius Randle was one of the Timberwolves' acquisitions in the Karl-Anthony Towns trade.
While he hasn't had his best season, he's starting to play up to his standards, as he's scored over 20 points in four of the last six games. He could put up another 20-point game against a Philadelphia team allowing the eighth-most points to forwards.
Ivica Zubac Over 12.5 Rebounds (-110)
The Clippers are tied with the Timberwolves, and that tiebreaker could be the difference between a guaranteed playoff spot and participating in the NBA Play-In Tournament. They've been hot down the stretch, going 12-3 in their last 15. If this team can stay healthy, they could be a dark horse in the playoffs.
Ivica Zubac has finally emerged as an imposing big man, having by far his best season, averaging a career-high 16.4 points and 12.5 rebounds. He will go up against the resurging Mavericks, who are in contention for a spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament.
Zubac should match up against Anthony Davis, and he's dominated him before. The last time Zubac saw Davis was when he was with the Lakers; Zubac grabbed 19 rebounds in that game.
