NBA Player Props, Odds & NBA Picks for Monday 10/30

NBA Best Bet Today #1: ⭐LaMelo Ball Over 21.5 Points (-120) at FanDuel

For the first of our NBA Picks, we’re taking the over on LaMelo Ball’s point total, which is set at 21.5. 

Heading into this Hornets vs. Nets prediction, Ball averages 17.5 points per game through the first two games of the season. 

However, this has come with a field goal shooting percentage of just 25%. He’s had at least 15 shot attempts in the two games this season. For context, he’s never finished a season with a field goal percentage less than 41.1%. Playing the Nets, Ball will take on a team with the second-worst defensive rating in the NBA at 119.5, allowing 21 points per game off turnovers. 

Ball should smash this number here. 

Betting Pick: LaMelo Ball Over 21.5 Points (-120) at FanDuel 

NBA Best Bet Today #2: ⭐Chet Holmgren Over 14.5 Points (-113) at FanDuel

For the second of our NBA Picks, we’re looking at the big man in Oklahoma City, Chet Holmgren, for this Thunder vs. Pistons prediction.

The line here on his points is set at 14.5. This season, Holmgren is averaging 15.3 points per game. He’s shooting 57.1% from the field and 54.5% from three-point range. 

He missed all of last season, so this is technically his rookie season. Through three games, he’s gone over 14.5 points in two of them, scoring 19 against Denver and 16 against Cleveland. 

The Pistons have played well defensively so far this season, with a rating of 102.7 (sixth in the league). Still, it’s hard to envision that remaining stable. Last season, they were dead last in defensive rating at 117.8. 

Look for Holmgren to eclipse 14.5 points here with our NBA Picks and Props. 

Betting Pick: Chet Holmgren Over 14.5 Points (-113) at FanDuel

NBA Best Bet Today #3: ⭐Dereck Lively Over 7.5 Points (-125) at BetMGM

Heading into this Mavericks vs. Grizzlies prediction, we like Lively to score eight points or more. Averaging 12.5 points per game, Lively scored 16 in the first game and nine in the second. He’s eclipsed this line both times. In the first game against San Antonio, he came off the bench, and against Brooklyn, where he scored only nine points, Lively played just 17 minutes. 

The Mavericks will want to develop their big man, and he’s more likely to be in a role where he’s coming off the bench playing 25-30 minutes like he did in the first game of the season as opposed to just 17 minutes in their last outing.

Betting Pick: Dereck Lively Over 7.5 Points (-125) at BetMGM
