Grizzlies vs. Bulls Player Prop Pick
Cam Spencer Over 10.5 Points (-115)
By Chris Prince
Cam Spencer isn't a high-volume scorer, but this number is simply too low, and one I expect to rise throughout the day.
The Grizzlies are running out of bodies, especially at the guard position, and will likely be without two of their better offensive players of late, Ty Jerome and GG Jackson.
This game features a huge 243-point total with just a 6.5-point spread, and Spencer has topped this number in four of his last five games.
Pick: Cam Spencer Over 10.5 Points (-115)
Lakers vs. Rockets Prop Bet
Deandre Ayton Over 7.5 Rebounds (+105)
Action PRO is projecting 8.2 rebounds for Deandre Ayton in the Lakers' matchup against the Rockets tonight, presenting a solid 7.2% edge against his current prop line of over/under 7.5, which is good enough to warrant a play on the Over according to our system.
Ayton enters tonight's matchup having recorded 8+ rebounds in four straight games, while breaking double-digit rebounds twice during that span.
Zooming out a little bit further, Ayton has recorded 8+ rebounds in seven of his last 10 games, while reaching 10+ rebounds in four of those contests; and getting all the way up to 12+ rebounds in two of them.
We will go ahead and lock in our best bet for this game at Over 7.5 Rebounds at plus-money.
However, you could also consider climbing the ladder and sprinkling an alternate line at 10+ Rebounds (+270) — or, you could take the Double-Double (+500) route, since three of his four 10-rebound performances during the aforementioned stretch have resulted in double-doubles.
Pick: Deandre Ayton Over 7.5 Rebounds (+105)
Spurs vs. Clippers Player Prop Prediction
Devin Vassell Over 12.5 Points (-120)
Action PRO is projecting 14.5 points for Devin Vassell in the Spurs' matchup against the Clippers tonight, showing an excellent 11.9% edge against his current prop line of over/under 12.5, which is strong enough to tag the Over with a B grade in our system.
Vassell has scored 11 points or less in four of his last six games. However, his recent shortcomings certainly haven't been due to a lack in opportunities, considering he played 30+ minutes in all six of those games, while putting up 9+ field goal attempts in half of them (3).
Prior to his latest six-game stretch, Vassell scored 14+ points in five straight games, while reaching 18+ points in four of those contests; and 20+ points in three of them — bringing the overall number against this line to Over 12.5 Points in seven of his last 11 outings.
We like Vassell Over 12.5 Points tonight. However, you could also consider sprinkling 15+ Points (+125) or 18+ Points (+260) if you are looking for a juicer price tag.
Pick: Devin Vassell Over 12.5 Points (-120)
