Best NBA Player Props For Today: Nick Smith Jr. Charlotte Hornets Over 13.5 Points + Rebounds (-112)

Brandon Miller (wrist) & Tre Mann (back) both remain out with injuries and Nick Smith Jr has crushed this line in both his starts with 20 and 22 Points + Rebounds in 26 and 30 minutes of play.

Smith Jr has seen consistent volume with 12 & 13 field goal attempts and 10 rebound chances in both contests.

The Memphis Grizzlies have allowed the 9th most rebounds overall during the last month and the 7th most rebounds to opposing shooting guards (6.5/game) on the season.

Smith Jr scored 62% of his points as a pick & roll ballhandler and in transition where the Grizz rank 22nd and 25th defensively.

This will also be a pace up spot for Smith Jr and the Hornets as Memphis ranks #1 in tempo. Smith Jr has shown the ability to cover this line when he gets his minutes, eclipsing this number in 7/9 games since the beginning of last season with an average of 17.7 PR.

The spread is -12 but Smith Jr may be blowout proof as a young player who has seen the majority of his work in the 4th quarter.

Best NBA Player Props For Today: Cade Cunningham Detroit Pistons Over 36.5 Points + Assists (-110)

Cade Cunningham has cleared this line in 9 of 13 games (69%) without Jaden Ivey on the court this season and he’s gone over in 9/11 games when playing 30+ minutes for an average of 39.3 Points + Assists per game.

Without Ivey in action, Cunningham’s usage jumps to 34% and if we stretched that out over a full season, he would rank 4th in the NBA in terms of usage.

70% of Cunningham’s points are scored as a pick & roll ballhandler or on at-the-break three’s where the Atlanta Hawks rank 29th and 30th defensively.

The Hawks have allowed the 3rd most assists overall (28.6/game) and 9th most assists to opposing point guards (9.2/game).

This is also a pace up spot for Cunningham and the Pistons as Atlanta ranks #2 in tempo and we should see a competitive & high scoring game with a spread of only -2.5 and a total of 236.

Cunningham landed on 35 PA in his lone game against the Hawks this season, but Ivey recorded 21 PA in that game and without him in play I’m confident we get at least one more.
