Today's Best NBA Player Prop Picks

Kings at Pelicans

Zach LaVine Over 30.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-118)

The New Orleans Pelicans and Sacramento Kings will face off for the second time in as many days.

Last night, the newly acquired Zach LaVine contributed 23 points, 7 assists, and 3 rebounds for the Kings despite going a tough 5-for-14 from the field. His role with Sacramento has been awesome, and I want to bet on him to go into the All-Star break with a bang.

If we take out LaVine's first game with Sacramento when he was still getting acclimated, he is playing 36.8 minutes and shooting 7.5 3PA and 16.3 FGA through four games. Those are even higher marks than the ones he held with the Chicago Bulls -- 7.3 3PA, 16.9 FGA, and 34.1 minutes.

On the season, LaVine is averaging 32.5 PRA and has exceeded 30.5 PRA at a 61.7% rate. A date with New Orleans' 29th-ranked defense should serve him well, as LaVine has topped 30.5 PRA at a 71.4% clip against the bottom 10 defenses in the NBA.

To add, the Pels are playing at the third-fastest pace across their last 15 games. LaVine, meanwhile, is netting 34.3 PRA against clubs that fare in the top half of pace and the bottom half of defensive rating.

Here's a look at LaVine's PRA output in games against New Orleans this season: 31, 33, 35, and 37 PRA. This might just be his favorite matchup to speak of and the trade to Sacramento will allow him to hunt New Orleans' defense one last time.

Our NBA projections expect LaVine to record 32.7 PRA tonight.

Thunder at Timberwolves

Naz Reid Over 24.5 Pts + Reb (-104)

Naz Reid has been a force with Julius Randle (groin) and Donte DiVincenzo (toe) sidelined for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Taking out a game Reid left early due to an injury, here's a look at his combined points and rebounds (PR) output sans Randle: 16, 26, 31, 32, 35, and 35 PR. That's good for a 29.2 PR average and an 83.3% hit rate on the over.

Can he get there again in tonight's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder?

OKC is surrendering the sixth-most putback points and putback opportunities per game. Despite hoisting the best record in basketball, the Thunder are letting up the eighth-most offensive boards, which could be a solid angle for Reid to rack up points and rebounds in tandem.

Reid scores 46.8% of his points from downtown and has been shooting 8.2 threes per game as a starter. Oklahoma City, meanwhile, lets up 38.9 threes (10th-most) on the road. Reid's size allows him to get off a clean look even against the best defenses and the 41.0% three-point shooter is due for positive regression after going a combined 2-for-13 from downtown across his last two.

Reid's numbers without Randle at least had me interested in backing him at this line. Once we factor in OKC's tendency to cough up offensive rebounds and threes, he appears to be in a great spot to surpass 24.5 PR.

Clippers at Jazz

Isaiah Collier Over 22.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-104)

Isaiah Collier is in contention to make the NBA All-Rookie First Team. He could help build his case tonight.

Dating back to January 12th, Collier has started 14 straight games for the Utah Jazz. In this stretch, he is averaging 26.4 PRA. He achieved at least 22 PRA in 78.6% of those games and tallied over 22.5 PRA at a 57.1% clip.

Notably, Collin Sexton (ankle) has been sidelined since February 3rd. Utah's starting guard ranks second on the team in points and shot attempts per game behind only Lauri Markkanen. Naturally, Sexton's absence has opened up additional opportunities for Collier.

Here's a look at Collier's PRA output without Sexton in the lineup: 19, 26, 27, 32, and 37 PRA.

Tonight's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers isn't for the faint of heart. Los Angeles ranks 2nd on defense and plays at the 12th-slowest pace. The Clippers do, however, give up the fourth-most points, rebounds, and assists to opposing guards.

Things could get funky in what will be the final NBA game before the All-Star break. Some of these players will already be on vacation in spirit and focus won't exactly be the name of the game. Collier, however, still has much to prove as a rookie and will welcome any chance to put up big numbers. Our projections forecast him to tally 23.4 PRA in this one.
