Grab the brooms, it was a complete sweep yesterday. Friday is payday and we were paid by the sportsbooks on all three wagers. Jayson Tatum and Nikola Vucevic covered their threes made prop before the fourth quarter. The Well delivers again. The Minnesota Timberwolves absolutely demolished the Golden State Warriors as back-to-back games may be too tough for the old, veteran team.

 

 


NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 12/7

There are three player props this Saturday, and it happens to be that they make a PRA. That is points, rebounds, assists bets, one on each player. What is even better is that two of them are at plus odds! All three games are cross conference games with the eastern teams hosting.

 

Nuggets vs Wizards Prediction: Aaron Gordon Over 6.5 Rebounds (+110 on Draftkings) *BET OF THE NIGHT

Aaron Gordon was recently injured but has played three games since his absence. Head Coach Mike Malone eased him into the lineup his first game back, but has since played Gordon over 33 minutes in each game. 

Gordon is a special player, in his twelfth year of the Association despite being younger than 30. The 2014 fourth overall pick has been known for his high flying, dunking abilities, but there is more to his game. 

Although he has never averaged 8.0 more rebounds or more, he does have several games with 10 or more rebounds. He also has 7 or more rebounds in five of his ten games played this season, and that includes the game he played less than 5 minutes due to injury.

The Washington Wizards give up several rebounds, and betting on a player to cover their rebounds against them has been profitable for Fantasy Alarm NBA Best Bets for two years.

The pick tonight is for Aaron Gordon to have 7 or more rebounds against a team that allows several rebounds. The Wizards are the second worst rebounding team in the league allowing 56.7 per game, somehow allowing more at home (58.7), and gave up 64 in their last game. 

Put a unit down on Gordon at plus odds.
 

 

 

Mavericks vs Raptors Prediction: Scottie Barnes Over 7.5 Assists (+105 on DraftKings) 

Scottie Barnes is back to being a main feature in this column. It seems like he cashes on 90% of the picks we put on him, and honestly he is just a fun basketball player to watch. He plays with effort, passion, and he’s going to play with both for over 30 minutes. He is an old school throwback in the era of load management. 

Barnes stuffs the stat sheet, and sometimes it is difficult to know which of his angles are the best. Oftentimes they are all great angles, but today we go back to a bet we made on his most recent game… His assists.

The line was heavily juiced as they dropped it to 6.5, but today against the Dallas Mavericks it is moved up to 7.5, and at plus odds. Not to worry as there is no hesitation in betting on this prediction. Barnes has 8 or more assists in his last four games, and Dallas does not have the best perimeter defenders. 

The Toronto Raptors play much better at ScotiaBank Center than they do on the road. They have a winning record of 6-5 at home, while they are 1-11 on the road. Barnes is at the center of everything the Raptors do offensively, and he will be very active tonight. Look for him to play over 35 minutes and cover his plus odds player proposition. Put a unit on it. 

 

 


 

Best NBA Prop Bets & Other Picks Today, 12/7

The Boston Celtics are playing in back-to-back games, and are featured in this column on back-to-back days. Well a player is, and we focus on their points to round out today’s betting PRA. 

Grizzlies vs. Celtics Prediction: Kristaps Porzingis Over 17.5 Points (-120 at BetMGM) 

The Boston Celtics may be playing in back-to-back games but Kristaps Porzingis is not. The seven foot center sat out last night’s game versus the Milwaukee Bucks in order to be fresh and prepared for tonight’s match against the Memphis Grizzlies. 

The Grizzlies are playing well, winners of eight of their last ten games. They are also in fourth place of the competitive Western Conference, and can not let up. They have an excellent backcourt in Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, one of the best defending forwards in Jaren Jackson, but have one trouble area… their center position. 

Rookie first round pick Zach Edey looked great, but is currently out with an injury. This has Brandon Clarke, Jay Huff, and Jackson Jr. playing more minutes, Jackson specifically when Memphis plays with a smaller lineup. 

Porzingis should be able to expose Clarke down low, in the mid-range game, and from behind the three point line. He has scored over 20 points in each of his last three games played, and with sitting out yesterday the prediction is for the Celtics to look his way early and often.
