<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNBA Player Props Best Bet #1: Ausar Thompson (DET) Over 18.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-130)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Pistons have won five of their last six games and start up a three-game west coast trip in Denver taking on the Nuggets who are off back-to-back road wins themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re going to take Ausar Thompson to go over 18.5 points + rebounds + assists tonight with Denver allowing the eighth most points, seventh most rebounds and second most assists per game to small forwards over the last 15 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thompson has been busy in recent games averaging 21 points + rebounds + assists in his last three which includes double digit scoring in two of them and averaging 51% shooting on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron Gordon has already been ruled out for Denver in this one which will make it easier on the Pistons as a whole on the offensive end with Denver posting a 120.8 defensive rating in games without him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That rating would rank dead last in the NBA heading into tonight with Denver also sitting bottom ten in offensive rebounds given up per game already heading into tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his last two games against the Nuggets Thompson is averaging 20 points + rebounds + assists so let\u2019s take the Pistons small forward to stuff the stat sheet tonight going over 18.5 points + rebounds + assists<\/strong> against an injury ridden Nuggets team tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately for the Suns they will be without Devin Booker for the near future after he suffered an ankle injury last Friday and will be re-evaluated in one week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Phoenix proceeded to lose against Miami on Sunday with Grayson Allen going 1-11 from three-point range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re going to take Allen to bounce back and go over 3.5 three-pointers made at home against a Nets team that has allowed the highest three-point field goal percentage of any NBA team this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sure, Allen is just 2-16 from three-point range across his last two games, but a shooter like him doesn\u2019t stay cold for too long averaging 4.8 three-point makes per game in the six games before that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coincidentally one of those games was against the Nets in Brooklyn where Allen went 4-10 from deep in a 126-117 win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We fully anticipate Allen getting to double-digit three-point shot attempts again tonight with Booker out so let\u2019s take him to be a threat from deep tonight going over 3.5 three-point makes<\/strong> against a Nets team that just allowed the Clippers to shoot 48% from three-point range in their last time out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WagerTalk is the largest picks<\/a> site online offering NBA FREE PICKS<\/a> every day as well as premium paid NBA picks<\/a> from expert professional sports bettors.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNBA Player Props Best Bet #2: Grayson Allen (PHX) Over 3.5 Three-Point Makes (-110)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
