After a break for voting yesterday, the NBA is back with a bang with a 13-game slate. A pick of the bunch could be the battle of Los Angeles, with the Lakers looking to put an end to a 8-game losing streak to their neighbors. A similar battle will be taking place in New York, with the Nets trying to close the gap to the Knicks this season.
With so much action on tonight, lets dive straight into my favorite player prop picks.
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. has hit the over on this line in 4 of his last 5 games. He will be going up against an Indiana Pacers squad that has been leaking points, allowing 115 or more in 8 of their last 9 outings. Matchup wise he will likely be picked up by Buddy Hield, who Porter Jr. will have a size and length advantage over. Hield last went up against Brandon Ingram, allowing the New Orleans Pelicans forward to record 29 points and 6 rebounds. With the ability that Porter Jr. must get his shot over the top, he should have similar success here. That is especially true considering he has a very similar build and skill set to the Pelicans forward.
