Best NBA player prop bet: Draymond Green (GSW) Under 20.5 points + rebounds + assists (-105)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing
The Warriors are loaded with question marks heading into the new calendar year. Jimmy Butler has seemed uninterested of late, attempting fewer than 12 field goals in each of his last 4 games, while Draymond Green’s numbers are down across the board. Steph Curry is willing the Warriors to a 13-14 record with strong recent play, although they dropped their last game against the Trail Blazers even though Curry scored 48 points. Heading into Thursday night, the Warriors will match up with the Suns on the road as slight road favorites. I’m taking the action to Green’s under 20.5 points + rebounds + assists, as his usage rate has plummeted under 20% in 4 of the last 6 games.
Best NBA bet for every game on Thursday
Best NBA player prop bet: Tobias Harris (DET) Over 18.5 points + rebounds (-105)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing
Tobias Harris’ name continues to be linked to trade rumors, as many expect the Pistons to make a significant move before the deadline. However, Harris has been an integral part of Detroit’s 21-5 start to the season, including in its last game — a win over the Celtics. Harris scored 5 points in the fourth quarter and came down with multiple rebounds. He gives the Pistons a veteran presence who is no stranger to hoisting 12+ field-goal attempts on any given night.
