Top NBA Prop Predictions

Dillon Brooks Over 19.5 Points (-105)

The Grizzlies will be playing without Ja Morant, and that should give way to some massive usage for Dillon Brooks.

The sharpshooter already had a 32% Usage Rate over the past five games, which put him fifth in the NBA over that span out of anyone who’s averaged 20 or more minutes. On top of that, he’s getting a usage bump of 4.4% with Morant off the floor this year.

This is a talented scorer who’s had a ton of the ball lately and who will have even more opportunities to score now without the Grizzlies’ star point guard. It doesn’t hurt he’s going against a horrendous Kings defense. It's a max play for our NBA prop picks.

Marcus Morris Over 4.5 Rebounds (+125)

The Warriors are a great rebounding team, so this one scares me a bit. The fact is, Marcus Morris is getting the run and has the skills to hit this Over.

In his two games since returning from injury, Morris has collected five rebounds in each contest. Nic Batum is away from the team right now under the league’s health and safety protocols, which has opened the door for more runs for Morris. He’s averaged over 26 minutes in those aforementioned two games, and he’s been playing the small-ball four and five, giving him plenty of chances for rebounds. He has averaged over five rebounds in the last three seasons, and I expect him to climb to that number at a great price.

Cade Cunningham Over 15.5 Points (-105)

The first overall pick going off in his first meeting with LeBron James? Where do I sign up?

Okay, so James is technically questionable for this game, but he’s been questionable all year, essentially. I’d expect him to play, just as I’d expect Cunningham to raise his level in such a high-profile matchup.

The rookie will be up against Russell Westbrook and a porous Lakers defense that has allowed 23.7 points per game to opposing point guards, one of the six worst marks in all of the NBA. He’s hit this Over in six of his first 14 games, and he should be locked into 30 minutes and no fewer than 10 shots. He has also been very interested in shooting threes, averaging 7.8 attempts in his last eight games, making it increasingly likely he can hit this number.
