Best NBA Prop Bets Today (Zion Williamson, Julius Randle & More Predictions)

Best NBA Prop Bets Today (Zion Williamson, Julius Randle & More Predictions)

Looking for NBA props to bet on for Tuesday night’s four-game slate?

There are some great games on Tuesday, including a Western Conference Finals rematch between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks, to bet on, and I have a prop for each of the four games.

One of the plays I’m coming back to yesterday after it hit and the oddsmakers set a similar line on the second night of a back-to-back.

Let’s break down these picks and their final odds.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

Julius Randle Over 7.5 rebounds (-120)

Earlier today, I shared in myself NBA Best Bets Column – Peter’s Points – why I think Julius Randle could be in line for a big game on the glass against Dallas:

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle is off to a fast start with his new team, averaging 24.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game while shooting 62.8 percent from the field and 53, 8% beyond the arc.

Minnesota has a Western Conference finals rematch with the Dallas Mavericks tonight — and Dallas is playing in the second night of a contest after Monday’s win over the Utah Jazz.

Randle could be in line for a big game on the glass after grabbing nine boards in two of the first three games. Despite playing alongside Rudy Gobert, Randle is still seeing 14.0 rebounds per game, and we only need him to get eight to eliminate this hold.

This is a great matchup as Dallas is allowing 49.7 opponent rebounds per game – 25th in the NBA.

Jules has averaged at least 9.2 rebounds per game in each of his last five seasons. It’s a great bet he gets at least eight on Tuesday night.

Zion Williamson Over 4.5 Assists (-135)

So far this season, Zion Williamson has 11 assists through two games, averaging 6.0 assists per game.

While that’s not great for this prop — he needs five to clear it — I can’t get over how much Zion initiated the offense for New Orleans with Dejounte Murray out of the lineup.

“Point Zion” has been a concept for years, and he consistently had the ball initiating the action at the top of the key against Portland on Sunday. He easily eliminated that support in his first game with seven assists, and if the New Orleans offense bounces back on Tuesday from a poor showing on Sunday, Zion should be in contention for five or more assists against Golden State.

Domantas Sabonis will record a triple-double (+450)

If you’re looking for some Tuesday props, I think Domantas Sabonis has a real chance to cash in for us at +450 to record a triple-double. We detailed why in today’s NBA Best Bets column:

A triple-double prop at +450? Why not!

Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis led the NBA in triple-doubles last season and already has one in the first three games this season.

On Tuesday, he and the Kings take on the Jazz, who have been one of the worst defensive teams in the league (28th in defensive rating) through three games.

The key for Sabonis here is assists. He’ll grab 10 rebounds and score 10 points — he went just five games without a double-double last season.

Utah is allowing 30 opposing assists per game so far this season — the most in the NBA — so Sabonis should be able to give his teammates some easy looks. After earning just one dime in the Kings’ season opener, Sabonis has 10 and seven assists in his last two games. He also averages 12.3 potential assists per game.

Michael Porter Jr. Over 21.5 points and rebounds (-120)

I’m going back to the well with Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. after he just topped that prop in an overtime win — finishing with 13 points and nine rebounds.

So far this season, MPJ has 23, 18 and 22 points and rebounds, averaging 8.7 rebounds per game.

He made at least 12 shots in every game and pulled off that feat despite poor shooting from 3 (4-of-20) on the season. MPJ is typically a much better shooter (40.7 percent from 3 in his career) and could bounce back against a weak Brooklyn Nets team on the second night of a back-to-back.

He’s averaging 15.7 rebounds per game this season, which gives him a nice floor in this commercial if his scoring continues to be disappointing.
