There are 8 games on the NBA slate tonight with an exciting double header on NBA TV for us to enjoy. To begin the night the Los Angeles Clippers will be visiting the Brooklyn Nets. It will be the first game for the hosts since the Kyrie Irving trade. It will be interesting to see what the atmosphere will be around the Barclays Center. That will be followed up by the Milwaukee Bucks trip to Portland to take on the Trail Blazers. Over the last week Damian Lillard has averaged 38.3 points per game but that has been topped by Giannis Antetokounmpo who is averaging 41 over that stretch. I t should be fun watching these superstars collide.
Be sure to read our'NBA predictions'for each of tonight's games, but for now, let's dive into my best NBA player prop picks.
With the NBA trade deadline approaching, no player will want to showcase his ability more than Eric Gordon. He has been balling out lately too, with 3 straight performances of 24 or more points. He was rested for their latest game against the Oklahoma City Thunder and should be ready to go against the Sacramento Kings tonight. Over those last 3 games, only about a third of his attempts have come from the perimeter. Gordon has focused more on getting into the paint, which has helped him get to the free throw line too. With Domantas Sabonis in the middle for the Kings, there is not going to be a established shot blocker to deter Gordon from going inside. And with Kevin Porter Jr. remaining out, look for the veteran guard's usage to remain high. Back him to deliver a high scoring performance.
