NBA Player Props, Odds & NBA Picks for Tuesday 10/24

NBA Best Bet Today #1: ⭐Nikola Jokic Over 25.5 Points (-113) at FanDuel

For our first prop, we're going to target the point total of the 2023 NBA Finals MVP, Nikola Jokic. The Denver Nuggets center is coming off a season where 24.5 points per game while making 63% of his field goal attempts. 

We're going with Nikola Jokic Over 25.5 Points (-113) at FanDuel. Jokic dominated the Lakers last season in the Western Conference semiinals, averaging 27.8 points, including performances of 34 points and 30 points. 

If there are any concerns about Jokic starting slow, last season he scored 27 and 26 points in the first two games of the regular season, and given his past success against the Lakers, we expect him to start strong once again. 

Betting Pick: Nikola Jokic Over 25.5 Points (-113) at FanDuel 

NBA Best Bet Today #2: ⭐LeBron James Over 24.5 Points (-115) at FanDuel

LeBron James is set to start his 21st NBA season and he has shown no signs of slowing down. James averaged 28.9 points while making 50% of his shots last season. Considering how strong James has looked recently, we're going to look to back him on his points prop. 

We're going with LeBron James Over 24.5 Points (-115) at FanDuel. Against Denver in the playoffs last season, James averaged 27.8 points in the four games and had performances of 26 points and 40 points in the series. He also hit on 52% of his shots against the Nuggets in the playoffs. 

Given James' age, he's more interested in saving himself for the postseason. But there are certain nights during the regular season where we see James exert more effort, and that could be what happens on Tuesday with the Lakers opening up agaisnt the defending champions. If we get a committed James, he should clear this prop easily.

Betting Pick: LeBron James Over 24.5 Points (-115) at FanDuel

NBA Best Bet Today #3: ⭐Kevin Durant Over 2.5 3-pointers (+154) at BetMGM

In the second game, the Phoenix Suns take on the Golden State Warriors. Kevin Durant is set to face his former team, and we're going to back Durant in the 3-point prop betting market. 

We like Kevin Durant Over 2.5 3-pointers (+154) at BetMGM. For his career, Durant averages 1.9 3s made per game, but with the Suns last season, Durant upped that average to 2.8 3-pointers made, which we feel gives us value at plus money on this betting prop. 

Durant has also been on the mark from beyond the arc during the preseason. He's made 6 of 13 attempts from 3-point range and that has been in limited action. In 17 minutes against the Lakers he had two 3s and also had two 3s in 21 minutes versus the TrailBlazers. With a higher workload in the regular season, we like Durant's odds to make three 3s on opening night against the Warriors. 

Betting Pick: Kevin Durant Over 2.5 3-pointers (+154) at BetMGM

NBA Best Bet Today #4: ⭐Stephen Curry Over 4.5 3-pointers (-130) at BetMGM

The final prop we are targeting is Steph Curry's 3-point prop. We're going to look to back one of the greatest shooters of all-time. 

We like Stephen Curry Over 4.5 3-pointers (-130) at BetMGM. Over his last three seasons, he's averaged 5.3, 4.5 and 4.9 3-pointers made per game. 

We'll also get ample opportunity to see Curry jack up 3s. He averaged 11.4 3s last season. Also, in four games against the Suns last year, Curry made 20 of 41 attempts from 3. Given his efficiency against Phoenix and how active he's been beyond the arc, we like his over of 4.5 against the Suns. 

Betting Pick: Stephen Curry Over 4.5 3-pointers (-130) at BetMGM
