NBA Player Props Best Bet #1: Reed Sheppard (HOU) Over 15.5 Points (-130)

The Rockets conclude their short three-game road trip tonight in Washington with Jabari Smith Jr. set to miss his second straight game.

Reed Sheppard should fill in the starting lineup once again for Smith Jr. as we’ll look for Sheppard to go over 15.5 points against a Wizards team that ranks 29th in defensive efficiency this season and runs at the fourth fastest pace.

Sure, Sheppard only had 14 points in Houston’s 115-105 loss at Miami on Saturday but in his last eight games overall Sheppard is averaging 16.6 points per game.

During those eight games Sheppard knocked down 4+ three-pointers in six of them with Washington allowing the sixth most three-point makes per game this season.

Sheppard is averaging 25 minutes per game this season but he logged 36 minutes without Smith in Saturday’s loss and although he only scored 14 points it was against a Heat team that is much tougher on defense (5th in defensive efficiency) than the Wizards.

With Sheppard averaging 20.9 points per 40 minutes this season in a bounce back spot at Washington tonight let’s take the Rockets guard to go over 15.5 points.

NBA Player Props Best Bet #2: Brook Lopez (LAC) Over 4.5 Rebounds (-120)

The Clippers defeated the Pelicans at home yesterday 137-117 as they’ll make the short trip to take on the Warriors tonight in San Francisco.

These two divisional foes have played each other twice already this season but the last time was way back on January 5th as these two teams look much different heading into tonight.

We’re going to take Brook Lopez over 4.5 rebounds tonight in what is being anticipated as a low scoring affair with the total already dropping three points.

Lopez didn’t see much action during the first two head-to-head meetings, but since Ivica Zubac has been traded away he has been finding his footing again averaging 6.6 rebounds per game across his last five.

The Warriors rank 24th in rebounding rate this season and like seasons past lack credible size down low aside from Draymond Green.

They have Quinten Post and Al Horford active but both are averaging less than five rebounds per game this season so Lopez should get his rebounding chances with Golden State running at the 11th fastest pace this season.

Let’s look for Lopez to gobble up some key rebounds tonight going over 4.5 in what should be a rock fight in San Francisco.
