NBA Prop picks 12-18

27-15 in December

Marcus Smart O 20.5 Pts + Asst (-120) - No Tatum, Smart will see a sharp increase in ball-handling duties and shot attempts

Pascal Siakam O 38.5 Points + Rbnd + Asst (-125) - Warriors get beat up in the paint and Siakam is due for a big game. He's gone Under this total in 3 straight, but after a heartbreak loss to BKN i think Siakam looks to dominate

GL on both props Mick.

@BigMick87

 Did banchero guard Tatum last game? Noticed 5 fouls for him...but still 37 mins

And who did celts have guarding banchero?

Wish I could tail smart pick...only offered 7.5 assists at garbage odds

@dubz4dummyz

multiple guys guarded Banchero, whoever got switched onto him, but it was a combo of Grant Williams,Al horford and Smart

Banchero mostly tried to stay on Tatum

I took Jaylen Brown U 11.5 Pts + Asst last night without knowing Tatum would sit. When Horford is active Brown hits that less than like 18% of the time.  Tatum being out sort of changes things though.  Just going to let it ride, not an official pick

Adding:

Jalen Duren O 10.5 Rebounds (-106) - i said i would spam this prop and Duren is finally getting some respect, but this game comes with some concern.  Brooklyn has the 2nd best FG% in NBA and i'm concerned about Kyrie and KD being able to draw fouls against the young man.  Remember Duren just turned 19 years old

Detroit is just a sad team w/o Cade

Brown scooping up all of Tatum's boards.  Has 6 in his first shift, but could have easily had 9

@BigMick87

 Damn i should have took banchero....too busy with nfl and didn't like the matchup

Smart

@dubz4dummyz

 he's a tough player to take

Adding:

Zach Lavine O 22.5 Points (-120) - Has gone over this total in 6 of 8 vs. his former team. Minny is one of the worst teams defending 3PT. 

Adding:

Russell Westbrook O 14.5 Rnbd + Asst (-105) - Going to the well again. No Pat Bev so Westbrook may see an increase in time.  He's had 19 and 23 in his last 2 games

Raptors making this game way too hard on themselves.

GSW gets abused by teams who have a big that can drive and score in the paint and they have Siakam standing in the corner like he's just some stretch-4

It's amazing he has 13 points, should have 20

Raps may not be a bad "live" ML bet at halftime

Poole was hot and dropped 25 and the refs really favored GSW with the calls

Only +250 though

Should have spammed Naz Reid.  Him and Duren - 2 of my favorite back-up bigs

Nets are coming back and winning this game

Detroit can't guard Kyrie

Duren's 3rd qtr. consists of him grabbing rebounds and then being hacked on the arms and the refs just let it go.  Scorer rules them loose balls and Duren never gets credit for the rebound

should have went over the total, instead he needs 3 more and idiot Casey never puts him back in until there's like 4 minutes left

Adding:

Lonzo Ball O 28.5 Pts. + Asst (-115)

Duren

Live bet the Nets +180 when they were down 10 early in the 3rd so hopefully this is a double-up

Duren is such a beast...a bit of young Dwight Howard on the boards

Siakam    National Blowout League collects another scalp, but this should have gone wayyyy over.  Siakam was a bit hamstrung closing out on wings shooting 3's in the first half so rebounds were spare.  He played more Center in the 2nd half but missed shots just never bounced his way.  GSW went zone in the 2nd half which was great for someone like Siakam operating as the middle man, but his teammates never gave him the ball and elected to take out of rhythm 3's and blew any chance of a comeback.  Jordan Poole was awesome too, which didn't help. 

Toronto is in a bad way right now, maybe OG coming back gives them a boost 

FVV is a sieve on defense

obviously meant LaMelo Ball

i constantly make this mistake

Lavine is a mess man

Whole Bulls team is, but Lavine looks like he just doesn't give 2 shits about winning or just competing in general

Going to get hooked on Siakam And Lavine due to blowouts

Can we make it a 3rd with Lamelo????

Lamelo

Westbrook   nutty bastard gives us the no sweat early 4th quarter cash

4-2 on the day...this should be a sweep though.  Lavine is a dog and Siakam's teammates did him no favors

31-17 in December

Will be waiting on Trae Young's assist prop to surface

Nice
