We’ve got one more slate of games before the NBA All-Star Weekend. Tonight, there are just three games, with two matchups on Prime Video.
Let’s look to make some extra cash before the break. Here are my top NBA player props today.
Thunder’s Isaiah Hartenstein (Under 11.5 Points -120) at BetOnline
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder – 7:30 PM ET
Isaiah Hartenstein has added no more than ten points in three consecutive games. In addition, his minutes dropped to 17.6 against the Suns, and his usage was just 12.6% in that game.
While he’s shot 52.8% from the field over the last ten games, Hartenstein has only attempted 5.3 shots per game. He’s actually taken four or fewer shots in three of his last five games.
That said, he’ll face a Bucks team that ranks 4th in the NBA in points allowed to centers this season. Hartenstein won’t see much volume tonight.
Trail Blazers’ Deni Avdija (Over 23.5 Points -125) at BetOnline
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Utah Jazz – 9:00 PM ET
Deni Avdija put up just 11 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves last night. It’s the second time he’s put up 11 points in his last three games. But he should get back on track tonight.
Avdija has scored at least 24 points in 63% of games. He’s also shot above 44% from the field, while taking over 16 shots per game over the last ten games.
He’s set to face a Jazz team that ranks 29th in field goal percentage and 29th in field goals made by small forwards this season. The Jazz are tanking the season away, so look for Avdija to take advantage before he heads to the All-Star Game.
Lakers’ Marcus Smart (Over 3.5 Rebounds -110) at BetOnline
Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers – 10:00 PM ET
Marcus Smart has recorded just three rebounds in three of his last four games. But that doesn’t tell the full story. In fact, he’s added at least eight rebound chances in two of his last three games.
He just hasn’t been able to convert.
Tonight, he’ll battle a Mavericks team that ranks dead last in total rebounds allowed to point guards. There’s reason to believe he’ll actually bring down his rebound chances this time around.
In his last four games against the Mavericks, Smart has averaged 4.5 rebounds. In his most recent game on January 24th against the Mavericks, Smart grabbed seven rebounds on nine rebound chances. That’s what I’d expect in tonight’s game.
What Should You Do This Weekend Without The NBA?
The NBA regular season’s first half will conclude after tonight. The second half of the season won’t start until next Thursday. Still, you can take advantage of tonight’s slate by looking at the OddsTrader odds dashboard to find value. I’ve added three bets where I see value above!
In addition, during the weekend, you can pay attention to college basketball more. There will be so many games, and the line movement will be crazy. This will be a good way for everyone to study college basketball more to prepare for March Madness. Use the NBA All-Star Weekend to your advantage and find some value in college basketball during the weekend.
The best bets don’t last forever, so when you see some value, grab it!
