Happy Thursday, sports fans! We have officially made it to Super Bowl week, an exciting time for sports fans across the globe. While our minds might be primarily focused on the big game, there are plenty of other sports to watch, including tonight’s six-game NBA slate.
We’ve put together our favorite player props from the action, which we’ve done every day this week, and we’re hoping to find some great value on Underdog. We went 3/3 during yesterday’s action, so let’s stay hot and hope to sweep the board again today!
Live player props data coming soon for Kyrie Irving.
Kyrie Irving (DAL) OVER 4.5 Rebounds
When you think of Kyrie Irving and what he’s done throughout his career, his rebounding numbers might not be at the top of your mind. After all, Irving is known to have some of the best handles the NBA has ever seen, and his ability to get to the rim and score is truly something to watch.
However, he’s been a rebounding fiend lately, logging at least five boards in his last four games, including a nine-rebound performance against the Philadelphia 76ers yesterday.
We’re expecting a close game with the Boston Celtics tonight, and as a result, Irving should be utilized throughout this matchup and get plenty of opportunities for at least five rebounds.
Live player props data coming soon for Nikola Jokic.
Nikola Jokic (DEN) OVER .5 Triple Doubles
Betting on a player to achieve a triple-double might seem foolish, but there aren’t a lot of players out there like Nikola Jokic. Jokic is widely regarded as one of the most dominant big men the NBA has seen over the last decade, a player who can do it all well.
Whether the Denver Nuggets need him to score, dish the ball to his teammates, or be a ball-hawk on the glass, Jokic answers the call when necessary. He faces a strong opponent in the Orlando Magic tonight but shouldn’t have a problem securing a triple-double and hitting the over on this line.
Live player props data coming soon for Alperen Sengun.
Alperen Sengun (HOU) OVER .5 Double Doubles
We predicted that Nikola Vucevic would have a strong game against the Minnesota Timberwolves yesterday, which proved to be the right call. We have a similar projection for Alperen Sengun tonight, who should have a lot of success against the Timberwolves in the paint.
Sengun is a great scorer and rebounder, and because he’s averaging a double-double this season, it’s easy for us to take his over in this metric tonight. The Timberwolves have struggled to slow down prolific bigs all year, and Sengun should benefit from their shortcomings.
