A few role-playing wings highlight our NBA Wednesday prop slate. While Draymond Green and the Warriors should thrive against the 76ers, look for Max Strus and Jalen Johnson to make an impact on the offensive end tonight.
Check out our best NBA player prop picks for Wednesday, February 7 right here. Enjoy the games, and best of luck with your action!
F Draymond Green (GSW) OVER 7.5 AST
In his 8 games since returning, the positive game-wrecking Draymond Green has averaged 7 assists per contest while dropping 10 dimes in two of those outings. Over Philadelphia's last three games (all without Joel), they have allowed 33 APG to opponents.
Not only does that rank as the 3rd-worst in the league but emphasizing more focus on the interior will allow Green to find Curry, Thompson, and Podziemski on the outside against smaller 6er defenders. We like the Warriors and Green to take this game in the Bay.
F Max Strus (CLE) OVER 9.5 PTS
An unsung hero for Cleveland this season, Max Strus has played up to his big contract, becoming a constant contributor during the Cavs’ current six game win streak. Even with Garland and Mobley back and healthy, look for plenty of 3-point shooting opportunities against a Washington team that lacks intensity on that side of the ball.
Max has killed the Wizards this season, averaging 16.5 PPG on over 63% shooting from downtown in two games. This is our favorite bet of the night that you cannot pass up.
G Darius Garland (CLE) OVER 5.0 AST
Doubling down on the Cavs continuing their win streak via outside shooting, Darius Garland has a great chance to notch his first double-double since coming back from injury. His minutes have increased in each of the four games since returning in late January, and his assist numbers have followed.
Facing a Wizards team that allows the most APG in the league, look for Darius to approach this mark in the 1st half of gameplay.
F Jalen Johnson (ATL) OVER 13.5 PTS
Speaking of solid surprises, Jalen Johnson has been a legitimate Most Improved Player candidate all season long. Averaging 15 or more PPG and 8.5 or more RPG over the last three months, Johnson has been the most consistent Hawks’ wing as they sit in 10th place out East.
While Boston has one of the more consistent defenses in the league, expect Johnson to capitalize on the matchup with Dejounte and Trae getting the Holiday and White matchup where Jalen could attack a more offensive-minded Tatum or Brown.
After attempting 14 or more shots in each of his last ten games, look for JJ to get back on track in a game where he could lead his team in scoring.
