Search the best NBA player prop odds for any team or player across every market from legal sportsbooks in your area.
Nikola Jokic Over 29.5 points (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
While Jokic scored just 29 points against the Mavericks in their last meeting, he’ll likely shoot much better from the field today after going just 10-for-24 on Dec. 1.
Not only did Jokic, who’s shooting 60.7% from the field and 42.5% from deep this season, hit just 41.7% of his shots in that matchup, but he also went 3-for-10 (30%) on 3-pointers. Since then, Jokic has connected on 60.2% of his field-goal attempts and is shooting 50% from 3-point range.
Don’t overreact to Jokic scoring just 14 on Monday against the Utah Jazz; he should bounce back as a scorer.

Cooper Flagg Over 20.5 points (-104) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Flagg has scored 22 or more points in four of his last five games, including a 42-point outing against the Jazz on Dec. 15, making him a solid option for a ladder bet.
This year’s No. 1 overall pick is shooting 48.9% from the field over that span and has attempted seven or more free throws in four consecutive games. Flagg scored 24 points against the Nuggets on Dec. 1, going 10-for-19 (52.6%) from the field and 1-for-3 from beyond the arc.
Flagg remains slightly undervalued after a slow start to the season - take advantage.
Tim Hardaway Jr. Over 11.5 points (-106) ⭐⭐⭐
Everything has been falling for Hardaway lately. The former Mavericks guard has gone 14-for-28 (50%) from the field, including 10-for-20 (50%) on 3-pointers, over his last three games, and he scored 21 against the Jazz on Monday.
The last time he faced his former team, Hardaway scored 13 points despite going just 1-for-6 (16.7%) from beyond the arc. Hardaway should stay aggressive against the Mavericks, and since he’s been shooting so well lately, he’ll likely score 12 or more points.
