The NBA has a 10-game slate for us tonight which should deliver fantastic action throughout. Among the teams taking to the floor will be the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are still holding onto the best record in the league. They are up against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors tonight, which should hep turn this to be an explosive meeting between the teams.
You can find our NBA previews. But for now check out my favorite player props below.
Tim Hardaway Jr. (DEN) 4+ made threes (+138)
The Denver Nuggets are dealing with an incredible number of injuries at the moment to their starting lineup, which should force Tim Hardaway Jr. into a larger offensive role in their game tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Over the last 6 games he has attempted 9 or more shots from beyond the arc in 5 of those contests. While efficiency has been a slight issue in those games, he is come than capable of bouncing back here, considering he is a 40.6% shooter from beyond the arc this season. The opponent should be favorable too. Over the last 10 games the Cavaliers are allowing teams to shoot at a 40.5% clip from deep, the second worst mark in the league. With an undersized backcourt, they should struggle contesting Hardaway Jr. jumpers tonight.
Donovan Clingan (POR) over 1.5 blocks (+148)
The last time the New Orleans Pelicans and the Portland Trail Blazers faced off Donovan Clingan was able to record 3 blocks and we should be expecting a similar performance here. His opponents are 2nd in the league this season in points in the paint, and will look to continually challenge him on the inside tonight. All 3 of Zion Williamson, Derik Queen and Yves Missi give up a size advantage to the Trail Blazers center and all 3 are most effective underneath the rim. While it is slightly worrying to see that Clingan has not recorded a block in 4 games, it is worth nothing that he had at least 2 in the previous 5 contests before that. Given the opponent, this feel like it will be the game that he will use to get back on track in that category.
Jaren Jackson Jr. (MEM) over 6.5 rebounds (-102)
Jaren Jackson Jr. has received some criticism this season for his rebounding numbers, and he seems to have responded of late. Heading into this contest with the Los Angeles Lakers, he has been able to record 7 or more rebounds in 6 of his last 7 games. That stretch includes a couple of 12-rebound performances, his only double-digit marks of the season. His opponents tonight have struggled on the glass of late, ranking 26th in rebounding percentage over the last 10 games. Deandre Ayton will be his direct matchup tonight. With his opponent not spacing the floor beyond the mid-range, look for Jackson Jr. to often find himself in favorable rebounding position throughout the night. With him showing recently that he can make full use of that, back the over on this one.
