⬆️ Cooper Flagg player prop: Over 18.5 points (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After averaging just 13.4 points per game in his first month in the NBA, Cooper Flagg is starting to produce like a No. 1 overall pick.

The Mavericks forward has scored 19 or more points in four of his last five games, with the outlier being a 16-point performance in just 29 minutes during a blowout loss at the Oklahoma City Thunder on Dec. 5. Flagg is averaging 20.3 points through four games in December - and besides, who could blame him for only scoring 16 in Oklahoma City? The Thunder rank first in defensive efficiency, while the Nets sit 26th.

DraftKings’ -108 odds for Flagg to score 19 or more points carry an implied probability of 51.92%. A $10 winning ticket would net $9.26.

⬆️ Michael Porter Jr. player prop: Over 3.5 three-pointers made (+119) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Michael Porter Jr. has been shooting lights out this month, going 37-of-67 (55.2%) from the field, including 17-of-33 (51.5%) from beyond the arc, through three December games.

While he has scored 33 or more points in three straight games, we’re targeting his 3-pointers prop at plus money. Porter has drained five or more 3-pointers in three consecutive games and, over a larger sample, has cashed this prop in six of his last seven.

Porter’s +119 odds to hit four or more triples carry an implied probability of 45.66%, with a $10 winning bet yielding $11.90 in profit.

⬆️ Anthony Davis player prop: Over 2.5 assists (-145) ⭐⭐⭐

The Mavericks lack a true point guard - Ryan Nembhard leads the team with just 4.8 assists per game - putting Anthony Davis in a strong position to keep cashing this prop.

Davis has recorded three or more assists in four of his five games since returning from a calf injury in late November. The Mavericks big is averaging four assists through four games in December. I price this bet at -155 no-vig, so the -145 odds from bet365 offer solid value.

These odds carry an implied probability of 59.18%. A $10 winning ticket would profit $6.90.
