This NBA season has been the most entertaining in recent memory and you can feel the changing of the guard towards the younger generation. The In-Season Tournament is slowly starting to grow with the current players and we’re seeing more competitive games as a result. There are always a few blowouts every night, but this season has a different feel to it. As always, Wednesday is one of the biggest slates of the week and we have quality matchups on the docket: Celtics vs 76ers is looking like an ECF preview and the Timberwolves vs Suns could be another Western Conference playoff preview. Let’s dive into my favorite'NBA prop bets of the night, and make sure you also read our'NBA predictions for each of today’s 8 games.
De’Aaron Fox (SAC) over 26.5 points (-111)
I was shocked seeing Fox’s line this low considering he’s not on a minutes restriction. He came back on Monday to nearly 36 minutes right out of the gate, averaging 0.85 points per minute this season. At 26.5 he would need to see only 32 minutes for this number to become in reach. Fox is playing a Lakers team on a back-to-back and has shown scoring success against this roster. In 2022-2023, Fox posted scoring figures of 31, 34, 22 and 32. Barring a blowout right out of the gate, this should be a good spot for the Kings to continue their 3-game win streak. 1U
