Best NBA Prop Picks: Lock In This Expert's Best NBA Prop Bets for Monday
We're looking for some late Christmas gifts throughout the day in the NBA.
I've added my favorite player prop for each of the five games on the NBA Christmas slate.
Let's get right to it!
December 25 Best NBA Player Props
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 5.5 Assists (-150) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Giannis just added seven assists for the Bucks in their win against the Knicks on Saturday.
Antetokounmpo has averaged 5.5 assists per game. However, in December, he's added 6.9 assists per game. He's improved in that department throughout the season.
Giannis has hit this line in seven of his last ten and four of his last five. He's also had previous success against the Knicks, beyond just Saturday.
Let's back Giannis to add at least six assists in this one.
Chris Paul Over 3.5 Rebounds (+120) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Chris Paul has added 4.4 rebounds per game in December. He's even hit this line in 58% of games this season, along with six of his last ten.
Paul only added three rebounds in his last game but had seven in his previous two. He'll face a Nuggets team that ranks 23rd in rebounds against point guards. That should also help Paul grab a few more rebounds and get his rebound prop over.
Paul has also had success with rebounds against the Nuggets previously.
Derrick White Over 3.5 Rebounds (-125) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Lakers rank dead last in rebounding against shooting guards this season. Meanwhile, Derrick White has added at least four rebounds in 64% of games this season.
White has also hit this line in seven of his last ten. Beyond that, White has earned 4.3 rebounds per game in December. That's nearly an entire rebound, more than what his line is set at.
White will get about 32 minutes in this game. That's plenty of time to grab some rebounds and hit the Over.
Caleb Martin Over .5 Threes (-220) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Caleb Martin has hit at least one three-pointer in 68% of games. He's also hit this line in eight of his last ten and has had previous success against the 76ers since last season.
Martin just earned 35 minutes against the Hawks last time out. He took four threes and nailed two of them. But even when he played 18 minutes against Orlando, Martin hit his only three-point attempt.
He's shooting just 37.9% from three this season. But he's consistently shooting from deep when in the game. Back his Over.
Derrick Jones Jr. Under 4.5 Rebounds (+120) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Derrick Jones has only earned five rebounds in 25% of games this season. He also hasn't hit this line in any of his last six games and has averaged only 3.5 rebounds per game in December.
Jones Jr. also faces a Suns team that ranks 6th in the NBA in rebounds against small forwards. Even with Nurkic not playing, the Suns should be able to keep Jones Jr. off the glass.
Asking for five rebounds is a lot out of Jones. He's only earned five or more rebounds in one game in December. In that game, he played 39 minutes. He won't be playing 39 minutes tonight.
