Probability: 51%
Projection: 2.7

The best player bet our Basketball Forever betting bot has uncovered for today’s NBA slate takes us to Denver where the Mavericks vs Nuggets play tonight. In this game, our Basketball Forever betting bot narrowed down Cameron Johnson in the total 3-pointers made prop market. Barrett has been able to exceed this line in 4/5 of his most recent matchups, showing 3/6/3/4/1 in each. With the Mavericks letting up 32 3PA per game, our model suspects that Johnson will have ample time to exceed this one in tonight’s matchup.
Our model recommends placing a wager on Cameron Johnson Over 2.5 3-Pointers Made at +138 odds and an attractive 9.8% edge, making this our best player bet of the day.

Game: Bucks vs Wizards (7PM EST)
The next NBA player prop bet our betting bot recommends playing comes in the Bucks vs Wizards game, with Giannis Antetokounmpo showing value in the total rebounds made prop market.
So far this season Giannis has been scooping up any loose ball around, averaging a total of 10.9 rebounds per game. When matched up against the Wizards, this number jumps to 14 RPG, giving our model a high degree of confidence in this wager.
