💰 Best NBA player prop today: Mitchell to pour in Over 29.5 points (-130)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.

The Charlotte Hornets play some of the worst defensive basketball in the NBA, and Mitchell is about to take full advantage. The Hornets come into tonight allowing opponents to shoot 48% from the field this season, which is good for the sixth-worst mark in the league. The defense in Charlotte is downright lazy, and Spida will be dropping 30 as a result. Fire him up as part of our best NBA player props today.

Brown won't be stopped with 31+ points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Pacers are giving up 118.3 points per game - good for 24th in the NBA. Their quick pace and porous defense lead to plenty of easy buckets for the opposition, which will undoubtedly turn Brown into a superhuman tonight. Look for him to drop 40+ (+440) if you want to squeeze all the juice you can out of this matchup.

Watch for SGA to get hot from deep with Over 2.5 3-pointers (+240)⭐⭐⭐⭐

The volume has been there for SGA this month; he just hasn't been able to hit from deep at an efficient rate, which is why we're getting this play at +240 betting odds. The Bucks may be able to remedy that, as they allow opponents to shoot 36.7% from 3-point land, which is the ninth-worst mark in basketball. All it takes is a middling defense incapable of defending the perimeter for SGA to get hot - let's cash this plus-money play tonight.

 Antetokounmpo to hit a brick wall tonight, go Under 43.5 PRA (-112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Scoring won't come easy for Giannis tonight, as the Thunder's No. 1 defense will lock him down and force him to facilitate. Giannis does most of his damage in the paint, and that's Oklahoma City's bread and butter defensively, giving up just 40 points per game down low - the best mark in basketball. Look for Giannis to sit around 20 points tonight, which won't be enough to cash this play.

My NBA strategy for tonight

If you haven't caught on, we're banking on star players taking advantage of egregious mismatches. Now, this won't be the case every night, but the matchups for Wednesday line up perfectly for us. We're getting a handful of superstars attacking some of the worst defensive units in basketball, whether that be in the form of an awful scoring defense or poor perimeter defense, giving us an open opportunity to cash. Capping the NBA will be different every night, but look for these lopsided matchups where you can, be disciplined, and continue to protect your bankroll.
