I'm feeling good about tonight's picks!
March 1 Best NBA Player Props
Herbert Jones Over 11.5 Points (-125) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Herbert Jones has scored at least 14 points in five consecutive games.
In those five games, he's seen at least 34 minutes. In four of those five games, he's played at least 37 minutes, with none of the games in overtime.
Jones has scored at least 12 points in nine of his last ten games and is now facing a Pacers defense that ranks 26th in points allowed to small forwards this season.
Jones will likely take around 8-10 shots in this game. But that's fine, especially when he's nailing 57.6% from the field while averaging two threes made per contest over the last month.
Jones scored 14 against Indiana earlier this year.
De'Aaron Fox Over 5.5 Assists (-108) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
De'Aaron Fox has added at least six assists in five straight games. He's also hit this line in seven of his last ten and is facing a Minnesota defense that ranks 20th in assists allowed to point guards.
In February, Fox averaged six assists per night. He began the month with only eight assists in three games. But since that moment, he only had one other game with five assists in the entire month.
He's questionable for this game. But if he plays, he'll likely get 36+ minutes against the Timberwolves on the road.
Damian Lillard Over 3.5 Rebounds (-148) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Chicago Bulls are one of the better teams at limiting point guards from rebounds.
But Damian Lillard has been hunting the ball on the glass over the last five games, and that likely won't change tonight.
Lillard has earned at least six rebounds in four straight games. Since the All-Star Break, the Bucks are undefeated, and Lillard's effort has really increased. He likely talked with other All-Stars about his situation, cleared his head, and returned to business.
Ivica Zubac Over 8.5 Rebounds (-140) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
On the other hand, Ivica Zubac has an incredible matchup tonight against the Wizards.
Washington ranks dead last in rebounds allowed to centers this season. Meanwhile, Zubac has added at least nine rebounds in four of his previous five games and six of his last ten.
He's already averaging 9.5 rebounds per game this season and has nailed this line in 57% of games.
There's a good chance Zubac finishes this game with 10+ rebounds.
Jerami Grant Over 1.5 Threes (-178) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Jerami Grant has nailed at least two threes in 58% of games but has drained at least two threes in six of his last ten games.
However, tonight, he's got the best matchup possible. He's taking on a Memphis Grizzlies squad that has allowed power forwards to hit the most three-pointers this season.
Grant attempted 5.6 threes per game in February and nailed 41% from downtown. He averaged 2.3 threes a night and only had one game where he didn't have two or more threes.
In that game, with less than two threes, Grant still attempted six threes. I'm comfortable, even at -178, to ride with Grant here.
