Two of Monday’s three NBA prop picks come from the Utah Jazz vs. Miami Heat matchup, which should be fast-paced and high-scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight’s NBA props narrative:<\/strong> Utah and Miami rank first and second in possessions per game. That helps explain tonight’s juicy over\/under (240 points). I think Bam Adebayo and Isaiah Collier can both take advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out these NBA prop picks for Feb. 9, including a prediction on the Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Donte DiVincenzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBA prop picks Feb. 9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: DiVincenzo under 12.5 points (-106)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Minnesota Timberwolves had been able to swing a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, there’s a good chance DiVincenzo would be on the Bucks right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, he’s still the starting point guard on a team that’s just a few games out of a top-three spot in the loaded Western Conference. The NBA is full of fine lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still don’t like how things are trending for DiVincenzo, though, after Minnesota added Ayo Dosunmu at the deadline. Dosunmu, a talented point guard who came over from the Bulls, should take a bite out of DiVincenzo’s minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-> Bet on tonight’s NBA slate now<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night marked Dosunmu’s debut for the T-wolves. Off the bench, he scored 11 points in 25 minutes, including 3-for-7 shooting from deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DiVincenzo, meanwhile, fouled out in 24 minutes. He was 0-for-3 from the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s far too early to tell if the guards will typically see an even workload, or if that was largely a product of DiVincenzo’s foul troubles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Dosunmu has averaged 26-plus minutes in each of his five NBA seasons, so he’s accustomed to a solid workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DiVincenzo only scored six points (2-for-8 shooting) when he last faced the Atlanta Hawks on New Year’s Eve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s averaging 12.5 points per game this season, and the Dosunmu factor has me on the under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat<\/strong>: This under is 14-8 in DiVincenzo’s past 22 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Adebayo over 20.5 points (-127):<\/strong> This line is notably north of what Adebayo typically scores (18.2 PPG). But I’m drawn in by the matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utah allows the most points in the NBA, as well as the fifth-most points to opposing centres, according to Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adebayo dropped 26 points on Utah when he faced the team on the road last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, the Jazz should have better rim protection now with Jaren Jackson Jr., but Adebayo takes 45% of his shots from the midrange (91st percentile among bigs, according to Cleaning The Glass).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his past 15 games, Adebayo is 10-5 vs. this prop and is averaging 21.7 PPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBA player prop predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Collier 25+ points\/assists (-141)<\/b>:<\/strong> Collier is getting massive minutes for the Jazz right now. He’s played the full 48 twice already this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this a creative element to Utah’s tank, or do they just want to see what Collier does with a lot more on his plate? I’m not sure, but if it continues, this line will have to start going up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second-year guard out of USC is 4-0 vs. this prop in February. He has at least 30 points\/assists in three of those games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, in 28 minutes against the Heat, Collier racked up 16 points and nine assists to also cash this bet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
