Monday’s double-digit NBA slate features four prop bet recommendations.
The pregame narrative: I have picks on Chris Paul, Christian Braun and a pair of Dallas Mavericks (Kyrie Irving, P.J. Washington) who should feast in a good matchup with star Anthony Davis sidelined.
Check out the best NBA prop bets for Feb. 10.
Best NBA prop bets
Best bet: Paul over 6.5 assists (-118)
Paul has played three games with new San Antonio Spurs star De’Aaron Fox, clearing this number twice.
Fox gives the pass-first point guard another strong scoring option alongside Victor Wembanyama and that duo should feast against the Washington Wizards tonight.
- Washington allows an NBA-high 121.6 PPG.
- Only 2 teams allow more assists/game to PGs.
- Paul had 11 assists vs. the Wizards in Nov.
The Spurs scored 139 points in that prior meeting against Washington. That’s a lot to ask for again but tonight’s total of 237 points is the second-highest of the 10-game slate.
There should be plenty of scoring, giving Paul a great opportunity to pile up dimes against Washington, which gets torched both in the paint and the perimeter.
Key stat: Paul is 9-1 against the line over his last 10 games.
Quick picks
Braun over 5.5 rebounds (-130): The 23-year-old is having a solid season as he’s transitioned into a starting role with the Denver Nuggets.
Braun is scoring 14.7 points per game with excellent efficiency and he’s been strong on the glass lately.
He’s cleared this number in all five games this month (averaging 8.2 boards) and landed on exactly five in four straight before that.
Braun is seeing plenty of run, averaging 36.4 minutes per game in February. Russell Westbrook remains out and Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) is questionable.
The minutes should be there again against a Portland Trail Blazers team that is bottom 10 in the NBA in rebounding rate.
Back Mavericks duo
Irving over 2.5 threes (-150): With Davis out, Irving goes back to assuming the alpha role in Dallas.
Prior to Davis’ arrival, Irving cleared this mark in 14 of 21 games without Luka Doncic this season, according to StatMuse.
He faces a Sacramento Kings team that allows opponents to shoot 37.7% from deep, the second-worst mark in the NBA.
Irving is drilling threes at a 40.7% clip this season, averaging 2.9 per game.
He’s gotten 40-plus minutes in three straight contests and is a good bet to get up at least 20 shots tonight. A healthy number of those should come from long-range.
Washington over 26.5 points/rebounds (-112): Washington was quiet over 16 minutes in Davis’ Mavericks debut before leaving with a right ankle sprain.
The injury has him questionable tonight and it could certainly limit him if he plays. But I’m expecting strong production if he’s a go.
Washington had a big January, his best month of the season. He averaged 17.1 points and 9.7 rebounds.
The 26-year-old topped this line in five of six games ahead of Davis’ debut:
- Jan. 31 vs. DET: 22 pts, 13 reb
- Jan. 29 vs NO: 25, 14 reb
- Jan. 27 vs. WSH: 19 pts, 9 reb
- Jan. 25 vs. BOS: 17 pts, 8 reb
- Jan. 23 vs. OKC: 22 pts, 19 reb
- Jan. 22 vs. MIN: 30 pts, 7 reb
Washington is averaging a career-high 8.2 rebounds per contest and has some three-point upside, converting 37.8% of his triples.
Like Irving, Sacramento’s poor perimeter defence could lead to a nice night for him beyond the arc.
