Eight NBA games are on tap Wednesday night. The highlight of the schedule features Minnesota traveling to Denver, battling for the Western Conference’s top spot with the playoffs beginning next week. Other top games showcase Milwaukee hosting Orlando as these two teams continue battling for Eastern Conference positioning.
Fortunately, my heater is burning hot! After hitting two of three picks yesterday, I’m still above 74% in the last two weeks. We’ll cover the top four NBA player prop bets for Wednesday below, giving bettors another chance to score extra money off this hot streak!
Live player props data coming soon for Brook Lopez.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Brook Lopez OVER 5.5 Rebounds
Milwaukee (48-31) finally snapped their four-game losing skid, upending Boston at home Tuesday. Now, the Bucks face off against the Orlando Magic (46-33), a team tied for fourth place in the Eastern Conference with Cleveland and Indiana. Both teams need this win to maintain their current position for the playoffs.
Milwaukee will have to win without their star play in the lineup. With Giannis Antetokounmpo resting his calf through Sunday’s regular-season finale, the Bucks will rely on Lopez for rebounding and defensive presence.
Expect Lopez to log over 30 minutes on Wednesday and successfully cover this player rebound prop bet.
Live player props data coming soon for Luka Doncic.
Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic OVER 50.5 Pts + Reb + Ast
Both Dallas and Miami are in similar situations. The Mavericks (49-30) are comfortably in fifth, but winning out could help the squad with homecourt advantage in a first-round playoff series instead of traveling for a decisive game seven. The Heat (44-35) are all but mathematically eliminated from escaping the play-in game.
Doncic has been on a tear recently, scoring over 30 points in four of his team’s last five games. He’s also finishing in double figures in either rebounds or assists in every game since March 21.
Against Miami last month, the guard went for 35 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Expect a similar game Wednesday for Doncic to cover his player combo prop bet.
Live player props data coming soon for Anthony Edwards.
Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards UNDER 26.5 Points
Minnesota and Denver own identical 55-24 records. These two teams have faced off three times, with the Timberwolves winning two of the first three games. Whichever squad wins tonight’s game controls their destiny toward achieving the top Western Conference spot this season, an invaluable position as that squad will host any pivotal game seven games.
With the top seed hanging in the balance, the defending champion Nuggets should rise to the occasion. Denver will slow down the Timberwolves and lock down Anthony Edwards.
In three previous games, Edwards had exceeded 26 points only once, a 30-point showing in his team’s lone loss. Expect the Nuggets to hold him under 26 points once again Wednesday night.
Live player props data coming soon for Devin Booker.
Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker UNDER 6.5 Assists
The Los Angeles Clippers (51-28) are comfortably locked into the fourth seed in the Western Conference, owning a two-game lead over Dallas. The Suns (46-33) are only one game behind New Orleans for sixth place, a position that would guarantee Phoenix the right to play in a playoff series without hosting a winner-take-all play-in game first.
In three prior games against the Clippers, Phoenix guard Devin Booker has not eclipsed the six-assist plateau. Los Angeles’ defense forces Booker out of his comfort zone, keeping the guard from finding open teammates for easy baskets.
Expect the Clippers to continue harassing Booker on Wednesday and holding Booker to under 6.5 assists on the night.
