MLB Best Bets – Free (Wednesday 5/15)
Josh Gross
Thursdays tend to be slow NBA days. We have four games this Thursday, which is better than most. The Miami game is a problem with so many questionable players on that roster. The same can be said of the late game between the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Clippers. The FTNBets NBA player prop tool has a few edges. Here are the best bets for the rematch between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Utah Jazz.
Best NBA Rebound Player Prop Bets
Zion Williamson Over 7.5 Rebounds
They played this same game last time out, and Zion Williamson rebounded well, grabbing 9 in just 26 minutes of what turned out to be a blowout. In the last 8 games, he’s grabbed 73 boards, averaging over 9 per game. At 7.5, this feels a full rebound below where it should be.
Jonas Valanciunas Under 9.5 Rebounds
Jonas Valanciunas has seen his minutes drop to under 20 a game in most of the recent contests. He’s a big time rebound per minute guy, but the minutes are too low right now. Zion will steal some rebounds and the Utah bigs playing on the perimeter will force New Orleans to go with that smaller quicker lineup.
Best NBA Assist Prop Bet
Mike Conley Under 6.5 Assists
This opened at 7.5 and got bet way down. Mike Conley has been in and out of the lineup recently and his minutes have been under 30 in each of the last two games as he rounds back into shape. Maybe this is the day, but maybe not. That is why the number is coming down and is still probably a bit high for a plus-money payout.
