NBA Player Prop Picks for Monday: Robinson Can Score (Kind Of)
NBA Player Prop Picks for Monday: Robinson Can Score (Kind Of)
It's Martin Luther King Day so that means we have the NBA on all day. It actually means more than that but for the sake of this article, let's just say we can bet basketball all day. That is a great feeling. In order to bet basketball all day, we'll have to get action down on at least one early game. That's how betting basketball all day works. Lucky for us, I found the perfect move at the perfect price for the 1:00pm ET game between the Charlotte Hornets and New York Knicks. I almost bragged it was so good but then I decided not to. That's class people.

Mitchell Robinson Over 9.5 Points (-114) (Bet $114 to win $100)
Line available at FanDuel at time of publishing
We're at FanDuel for this one since they have -114. We could go across the street to DraftKings or BetMGM and get 9.5 at -120 too so we have options. The only option we don't have is Barstool since they still don't have a number and we're not far from game time.
Let me tell you a little bit about Mitchell Robinson, he's a dunker. I don't care who you are, if he wants to dunk on you, he can and will. It's just how he operates. The guy scores 85% of his points in the paint and the other 15% from the free throw line. He's a "get some" guy that's always looking to abuse the other team's big man.
Abusing people has been going well for Robinson lately since he's hit double digits in points in each of his last four games. At home, on the road, it doesn't matter. The guy almost put up 20 on the Mavericks so his ceiling is not bad either for you James Bond guys.
Today he gets the Charlotte Hornets that would have a hard time defending WNBA players (no offense ladies) down low. They just gave up 60 points in the paint in their last game. In fact, no team in the NBA gives up more points to opposing centers on a per game basis. We only need Mitchell to dunk the ball five times people. He can do that.
