The NBA slate today is packed with exciting matchups, and I’ve combed through the data to find the best player prop bets for you. These picks are based on a combination of recent performance trends, opponent matchups, and Pine Sports’ AI-powered projections. Let’s break it down.


1. Cade Cunningham – Turnovers – Over 3.5 (-160 at ESPN BET)

Cade Cunningham has been a turnover machine lately, averaging 4.8 turnovers over his last 15 games and 5.5 over his last 10. While his season average is 4.57 turnovers, he’s been even more prone to giveaways in recent games. The Pine Sports AI-powered projection has him at 3.68 turnovers today, which aligns with the over hitting.

Cunningham faces the Chicago Bulls, whose defense has been subpar this season. While the Bulls’ defensive versatility (DVP) against guards is slightly above average (-17.89%), Cunningham’s high usage rate and aggressive playstyle make this a solid pick. He’s hit the over on this line in 65% of his games this season, and with his All-Star form, expect him to continue pushing the pace.


2. RJ Barrett – Total Rebounds – Over 5.5 (-125 at BetRivers)

RJ Barrett has been a rebounding force, especially at home, where he averages 7.21 rebounds per game. Over his last 10 games, he’s hit this line 70% of the time, and he’s coming off a stretch where he’s averaged 6.4 rebounds per game. Against the LA Clippers, Barrett has a 100% hit rate in their lone matchup this season, grabbing 6 boards.

The Clippers’ defense against forwards (DVP: -5.30%) isn’t particularly strong, and with Barrett’s consistent rebounding numbers, this prop looks promising. Pine Sports projects him at 5.96 rebounds, making the over a strong play.


3. Derrick Jones Jr. – Total Rebounds – Over 3.5 (-155 at BetMGM)

Derrick Jones Jr. has been on a rebounding tear, averaging 5.7 rebounds over his last 10 games and hitting the over on this line in 90% of those contests. In his last five games, he’s been even better, averaging 6.6 rebounds and hitting the over 100% of the time.

With the Clippers missing Norman Powell, Jones Jr. is expected to see increased minutes, which should lead to more rebounding opportunities. The Pine Sports projection of 4.30 rebounds further supports this pick. While the odds are a bit steep, his recent form makes this a worthwhile bet.


4. Malik Beasley – Points – Over 15.5 (-108 at BetRivers)

Malik Beasley has been heating up, averaging 17 points over his last five games and hitting the over on this line 80% of the time during that stretch. Against the Chicago Bulls earlier this season, he dropped 21 points, showcasing his ability to exploit this matchup.

The Bulls’ defense (DVP: -6.28%) struggles against scoring guards, and Beasley’s recent form makes him a strong candidate to hit the over. Pine Sports projects him at 15.83 points, which aligns closely with the line, but his recent hot streak gives this pick added value.


5. Nikola Vucevic – Total Rebounds – Over 10.5 (-112 at BetRivers)

Nikola Vucevic has been a rebounding machine, averaging 11.2 rebounds over his last 20 games and hitting this line 70% of the time in his last 10. Against the Detroit Pistons earlier this season, he grabbed 12 boards, maintaining a 100% hit rate in this matchup.

The Pistons’ defense (DVP: -5.26%) isn’t particularly strong against big men, and Vucevic’s consistent rebounding numbers make this a solid pick. Pine Sports projects him at 10.51 rebounds, which is right in line with the over.
