There are ten games of the 2023-24 NBA on the program tonight, with two of those looking great for player performance betting. Weâre now going to analyze those games, sharing our top prop picks along the way.
Bucks vs. Cavaliers
How to Watch
- When: Friday, December 29, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. ET
- Where: Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, Cleveland, Ohio
- Channel: NBA TV
Game Preview
Tonightâs Bucks vs. Cavaliers game is played at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse where Cleveland is undefeated against Milwaukee for almost four years. The Cavaliers won each of their last four home games against the Cavs.
The most recent of those saw Clevelandâs center Evan Mobley do great, scoring 38 points. Unfortunately for the Cavs, heâs injured and wonât play tonight.
As if that wasnât bad enough, the Cavs will miss a few more players. On the bright side, their points leader Donovan Mitchell is expected to return after missing a few games due to an illness. Still, we doubt heâs going to do much.
In fact, tonightâs game looks ideal for the Bucks to end their losing run in Cleveland, and for that, they need to keep Mitchel to under 30 points.
| NBA Player Prop | Odds |
|---|---|
| Donovan Mitchell Under 29.5 Points |
76ers vs. Rockets
How to Watch
- When: Friday, December 29, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. ET
- Where: Toyota Center, Houston, Texas
- Channel: NBA League
Game Preview
The Houston Rockets are the leagueâs second defense, conceding just 109.0 points per game. These guys are great defensively, but even they probably wouldnât be able to stop the NBAâs points leader Joel Embiid. Luckily for Houston, Phillyâs superstar wonât play tonight.
With Embiid out with an injury, the 76ers are putting their hopes into Tyrese Maxey whoâs averaging 25.8 points per game. However, heâs not been in a scoring mood lately. In Phillyâs two previous games â in which they were without Embiid â Maxey scored a total of 45 points.
We donât think heâs going to do much better this time either, which is why our prop pick is Maxey under 27.5.
