🎯 Best NBA player prop predictions & expert picks today
Here's a breakdown of my best NBA player prop predictions and expert picks today. Check out the rest of our NBA picks along with our guide on how to bet on the NBA.
🏀 Kevin Huerter (Bulls) Over 9.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +105 via ESPN BET (bet $10 to win $10.50)
Terms and conditions apply
Kevin Huerter has been starting slowly with the Chicago Bulls, averaging only 6.8 points over his first five games while shooting 27.9% from the field. However, there are a few reasons we like him to score 10-plus points tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers.
First, his lack of scoring hasn't been due to fewer shots. He's attempted seven shots in each game, and Huerter is playing right around 20 minutes in those contests. So neither volume nor playing time is an issue.
Huerter just needs to get more of those shots to fall, and he's expected to do just that on Monday. He's forecasted to score 11.6 points against the 76ers following a 14-point outing against the Phoenix Suns.
Based on that projection, we're getting better than 28% positive expected value on this bet. Or, to put it more simply, the "fair" price for this Over would be -161, so you can see the edge we're receiving with these +105 odds.
Several of our best sports betting sites are still sitting at 8.5 points, with bet365 posting the best odds at -135. However, I prefer this plus-money price at ESPN BET for one additional point.

🏀 Kelly Oubre Jr. (76ers) Under 18.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -110 via DraftKings (bet $10 to win $9.09)
Terms and conditions apply.
It can't be fun to be a member of the 76ers right now, though Philadelphia does serve as a small favorite on Monday.
However, we're not expecting a win to come via a big game from Kelly Oubre Jr.
Oubre has gone Over this total just once in his last five games, and he's averaging just 14.5 points per for the season.
Now the guard is projected to score 16.5 points tonight against the Bulls. You're probably thinking that sounds awfully close to the 19 he'd need to clear this total. But the break-even point on this Under is -185, so you can see we're still getting great value.
All of our other best sports betting apps have already dropped this total to 17.5, so act quickly. If you do play the Under 17.5, I wouldn't bet on odds any shorter than -130. Leave this one alone if it goes past that point.

🏀 Kel'el Ware (Heat) Under 12.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -115 via bet365 (bet $10 to win $8.70)

Kel'el Ware is one of the contenders by the latest NBA Rookie of the Year odds, and he's scoring more since becoming a starter. However, even then he's averaging just 11 points per game, two full points below this total.
Ware isn't expected to match that season average tonight against the Atlanta Hawks, as he's projected for just 9.5 points. That makes this my favorite bet of the day and the only five-star pick.
We're getting nearly 40% +EV through these -115 odds, with only DraftKings offering a competitive price at -120. For its part, FanDuel has already dropped this total to 11.5.
There really isn't a number that any of our best sportsbooks could provide that I wouldn't bet on here, as the break-even point on Under 11.5 points is -215. On this total, it's -296. Smash this one for a full unit, or even a bit more. A winning $15 wager would result in a $13.04 profit.

🏀 Jusuf Nurkic (Hornets) Over 7.5 points ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +100 via BetMGM (bet $10 to win $10)
Bonus bets will expire in 7 days. One new customer offer only. Additional terms and conditions apply.
Jusuf Nurkic, once a valuable member of the Portland Trail Blazers, is adjusting to life as a member of the Charlotte Hornets after being run out of the Phoenix. He hasn't played especially well during his first four games, but we're backing him to clear a very low total on Monday.
Nurkic has gone Over 7.5 points in three of his four games with the Hornets. He also laid a goose egg in the middle of those games, bringing his scoring average down. That outing shows us that his floor is, well, the literal floor.
Nurkic has started only half of his contests with the Hornets, so his role against the Kings is uncertain. But he's played roughly 17 minutes regardless of whether Nurkic starts or comes off the bench.
This is only a three-star pick because it's a bit sketchy, as Nurkic is projected for only 8.6 points. Therefore, I wouldn't play this Over at odds any shorter than -115. You'll want to act quickly to get in on this bet to close out the night.
