Today's Top NBA Prop Bet Picks & Predictions, Tuesday 03/03 (Jalen Duren Highlights): Smart Player Wagers

As the Denver Nuggets lock horns with the Utah Jazz, it's hard not to see Nikola Jokic as a major factor in this showdown. The "Joker" has been dialling it up from deep lately, sinking an average of 1.8 threes overall in his last five games. On the road? The number jumps to 2.4. Even against the Jazz, Jokic tends to let it fly, averaging 2 triples in their recent encounters, and 1.6 specifically when playing in Utah. Now, we're only asking for a single three-pointer from the MVP candidate. With a 100% hit rate in his last 10 away games and a four-game streak of surpassing the 0.5 threes mark, it's a reasonable ask. So, when the Nuggets hit the court in Utah, bank on Jokic to light it up from beyond the arc.

Bruce Brown (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 10.5 Points + Rebounds (-135)

Now, let's talk about our main man, Bruce Brown. In his recent games, Bruce has been shredding nets and gobbling up rebounds like a man possessed. He's been averaging 11.2 points and 3.4 rebounds overall, and when it comes to away games, those numbers get even sweeter, rising to 12.2 points and 4.6 rebounds. Up against the Utah Jazz, he's been quietly formidable too, bringing in an average of 7.2 points and 4.4 rebounds. So, why are we putting our money on Bruce? Simply put, he's been consistently smashing the over 10.5 points + rebounds mark. In fact, he's had a straight run of four hits in all his last games, whether home or away. It seems like our boy Bruce has found his rhythm, and we're here to ride that wave with him. Brown over 10.5 points + rebounds? Seems like a pretty

Tobias Harris (Detroit Pistons) Over 18.5 Points + Rebounds (-128)

As the Pistons prepare to roll into Cleveland, all eyes are on Tobias Harris, who's been tearing up the court lately. His recent away games have seen him averaging 15.8 points and 7.6 rebounds, a clear uptick from his overall averages. Now, when you put those numbers against the Cavaliers, it's like pouring fuel on a bonfire. His last three away games have been nothing short of spectacular, hitting the Over 18.5 mark each time. Yes, his past clashes with the Cavaliers show a slight dip, but let's not get swayed by those numbers. His current form and the momentum he's carrying into this game make a compelling case for an Over 18.5 bet. Expect Harris to light up the scoreboard and pull down some serious boards as he continues his hot streak in Cleveland.

Brook Lopez (Milwaukee Bucks) Over 0.5 Blocks (-333)

Brook Lopez is a force to reckon with on the court, especially when it comes to his shot-blocking prowess. Now, you might be thinking, "Over 0.5 blocks in the Warriors vs Clippers game? That seems too easy!" But let's lay out the facts. When you look at Lopez's recent performance, he's been swatting shots left, right, and center. With an average of 1 block per game over his last five overall, and a whopping 2.2 blocks per game specifically at home, it's clear that he's in his element on the Clippers' turf. Factor in his impressive average of 2 blocks against the Warriors themselves, and this prop bet becomes even more enticing. So, when Lopez hits the court on March 3rd, expect him to do what he does best - tower over the opposition and send their shots sailing. Don't miss this chance to wager on a proven shot-blocker like Lopez.

Al Horford (Boston Celtics) Under 3.5 Assists (-169)

When you look into Al Horford's recent performances, it's clear there's a pattern that points to a solid under bet on his assists for the upcoming Warriors-Clippers matchup. In his last five outings, he's only been averaging a modest 1.4 assists per game. Even when factoring in home advantage, his assist average only slightly kicks up to two. Now, throw in the fact that Horford's only been able to muster an average of three assists against this Warriors lineup, and the case for backing the under on 3.5 assists becomes even more robust. The numbers don't lie - in the last 12 games, the under has hit 10 times. And in the last 20 home games? A staggering 18 out of 20. Horford is a solid player, but the figures suggest he's not going to light anyone up with his passing in this contest.
