NBA Player Props, Odds & NBA Picks for Tuesday 12/12

NBA Best Bet Today #1: ⭐Anthony Davis Over 13.5 Rebounds (-130) at ESPN BET

For the first of our NBA Player Props Today, we will target the over on Davis’ rebound line, which is set at 13.5. 

Over his last five games, Davis has hit 14 or more rebounds in all of them, including two 14-rebound performances, two 15-rebound performances, and most recently, in the In-Season Tournament final, a 20-rebound outing. 

Looking at the season, Davis has 14 or more rebounds in nine of 22 games, but something must be said about a recent streak.

Here, he’ll take on a Mavericks team that averages 51.5 rebounds per game, which is 22nd in the NBA. That average is up to 54 over the past three games, but they had finished under their 51.5 season average in their last outing with 51. 

For the first of our NBA Picks Today and this Lakers vs. Mavericks prediction, take the over on Davis’ rebounds. 

Betting Pick: Anthony Davis Over 13.5 Rebounds (-130) at ESPN BET

NBA Best Bet Today #2: ⭐LeBron James Under 6.5 Assists (+105) at FanDuel

Our second NBA Pick also includes a Lakers vs. Mavericks prediction, and that’s taking the under on James’ assist line, which is set at 6.5. 

This prop does come with a +105 line, which is always encouraging.

James averages 6.6 assists per game this season, just 0.1 more than the line here. 

Over his past five games, James has had seven assists or more in three of those five games. 

Against the Mavericks, opponents average 27 assists per game, which is ninth-most in the NBA. However, opponents are down to 22.7 assists per game over their past three games, which is 24th in the NBA in that span. 

The Mavericks allow the tenth-most points per game in the NBA, so considering James’ average and the trend of assists against the Mavericks lately, look for James to stuff the stat sheet more so in the points department than assists for one of NBA Player Props on today’s slate. 

Betting Pick: LeBron James Under 6.5 Assists (+105) at FanDuel

NBA Best Bet Today #3: ⭐Jayson Tatum Under 4.5 Assists (-154) at BetMGM

Finally, we will make a Celtics vs. Cavalier prediction featuring Tatum.

We’re taking the under on his assists at 4.5 for this NBA Player Prop. 

Tatum is averaging 4.2 assists per game this season, which is already less than the line here. 

Over his last five games, Tatum has registered four assists or less in three of them, with the other two featuring five and six-assist performances. 

That said, the Cavaliers are a team whose opponents don’t average many assists. On the season, opponents average 24.7 assists per game, which is fifth-least in the NBA. Over their last three games, that average is down to 22.3. 

Considering Tatum’s season average and the lack of assists against the Cavaliers, look for Tatum to finish with four or fewer here for the last of our NBA Player Props Today. 

Betting Pick: Jayson Tatum Under 4.5 Assists (-154) at BetMGM
