Magic vs. Heat Player Prop Pick
Desmond Bane Over 21.5 Points (-115)
By Joe Dellera
If the Magic secure this game, they put themselves in the driver's seat with what would essentially be three games up in the win-loss column over the Heat.
That being said, I’d expect slightly more minutes from the Magic's primary starters tonight.
Desmond Bane has crushed in this matchup in the past, and has really come into his own with a bit more usage lately.
Bane is averaging 22 points per game against Miami this season, but that number is being weighed down dramatically by a 5-point outing where everyone else was healthy.
Bane is averaging 22.2 points per game in games without Franz Wagner this season.
Considering this is a peak pace-up spot against a Heat team that ranks 1st in the league in pace, this is an excellent spot for Bane to show out.
Pick: Desmond Bane Over 21.5 Points (-115)
Nuggets vs. Lakers Prop Bet
Rui Hachimura Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (+110)
By Matt Moore
The Nuggets rank bottom-three in opponent corner three-point attempts allowed, and Rui Hachimura is the Lakers' most consistent volume shooter from the corners.
There's a good chance that we'll see Rui hit a few catch-and-shoot three-pointers off the gravity that Luka Doncic naturally creates.
Pick: Rui Hachimura Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (+110)
Kings vs. Clippers Player Prop Prediction
Bennedict Mathurin Over 5.5 Rebounds (+120)
Action PRO is projecting 6.3 rebounds for Bennedict Mathurin in the Clippers' matchup against the Kings tonight, showing a solid 14.2% edge against his current prop line of over/under 5.5, which is strong enough to tag the Over with a B+ grade in our database.
Mathurin is only averaging 5.6 rebounds per game on the season. However, in 14 games since joining the Clippers at the trade deadline, he has recorded 6+ rebounds in nine of those contests, while reaching 7+ rebounds in seven of them; and getting all the way up to 8+ rebounds in three of those outings.
Plus, his rebounding numbers were a little bit shakier when he first joined the team. Mathurin has recorded 6+ rebounds in eight of his last 11 games heading into tonight.
We will go ahead and lock in our best bet at Over 5.5 Rebounds. However, you could also find value by climbing the ladder and sprinkling some alternate lines at 7+ Rebounds (+170) or 8+ Rebounds (+285).
Pick: Bennedict Mathurin Over 5.5 Rebounds (+120)
