<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNBA Player Props Best Bet #1: Chet Holmgren (OKC) Under 28.5 Points + Rebounds (-122)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There are only three games on the slate tonight including Bucks vs Thunder, but OKC seems to be limping into the all-star break quite literally. Sure they still hold a 42-13 record after yesterday\u2019s 136-109 win at Phoenix, but the injury report is loaded up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
SGA is out with an abdomen injury and Jalen Williams is now questionable with a hamstring injury he suffered in yesterday\u2019s win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re going to go contrary today and take Chet Holmgren to go under 28.5 points + rebounds against a Bucks team that has surprisingly been stout against centers this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milwaukee has held centers to the sixth least points and eighth least rebounds per game on the season. In their first head-to-head meeting with SGA but without Jalen Williams, Holmgren had just 17 points + rebounds in 32 minutes on 3-9 shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bucks sit top five in last amount of points in the paint given up per game and also allow the seventh least amount of three-point makes to centers on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milwaukee has beefed up their starting lineup as of late with Jericho Sims, Myles Turner and Kyle Kuzma all getting the nod so Holmgren could have some trouble finding scoring and rebounding opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sure, Holmgren should play a part in an OKC win tonight but we feel this line has ballooned up quite a bit without SGA and possibly Williams tonight. Take Holmgren to go under 28.5 points + rebounds against Milwaukee<\/strong> tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the all-star break on the horizon nothing would brighten the spirit of the Mavericks more than snapping their eight game losing streak against the Lakers tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, they\u2019ll have to do it without Cooper Flagg and possibly Naji Marshall as we\u2019ll look for former Lakers player Max Christie to go over 15.5 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, we\u2019re aware Christie hasn\u2019t been efficient as of late but in three games without Flagg this season he averages 15.3 points per game and in two head-to-head contests with the Lakers Christie has averaged 18.5 points per game (both with Flagg in the lineup). LA ranks 19th in defensive efficiency across the last 10 games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Christie did have back-to-back games recently against the Spurs putting up 20 and 17 points respectively and like we said at the start, there should be increased effort from Dallas tonight to go into the break on a high note. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With that, we expect Christie to be the catalyst of the Mavericks back court tonight so let\u2019s take him to go over 15.5 points<\/strong> in LA against the Lakers.<\/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: Max Christie (DAL) Over 15.5 Points (-108)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
