Best NBA prop bets today: Top player prop picks for Bucks-Knicks, Lakers-Suns

1. Kevin Durant, SF, Suns @ Lakers — UNDER 29.5 points

In two games against the Lakers this season without Booker, Durant has averaged 38.5 points while attempting 27.5 shots from the field. With the Suns' primary ball handler back in the mix, Durant is not expected to command the same usage, which could result in KD ending the game with fewer than 30 points. In nine games playing alongside Booker this season, Durant has attempted 7.5 fewer shots (20.5), as Booker's presence is likely to result in a significant shift in Durant's point total tonight.

The Lakers had virtually no answers for Durant in their most recent meeting, as Taurean Prince and Christian Wood stood no chance against him, but with a trip to the In-Season semifinals on the line, we could see more of LeBron James and Rui Hachimura guarding him. James' and Hachimura's strength could lead to Durant shooting at a lower clip, playing into his UNDER 29.5 points prop.

2. Austin Reaves, PG, Lakers vs. Suns  — OVER 13 points

While Reaves may not be performing at the level we've become accustomed to this year, he has shown up during the In-Season tournament, averaging 13.7 points per game on 46.5 percent shooting. Reaves has gone OVER 13 points in 10 of his past 15 games, including a 15-point effort against the Suns in early November.

His recent 18-point performance in 22 minutes of action against the Rockets on Saturday gives us confidence that the sharpshooting guard can maintain his strong form.

3. Immanuel Quickley, PG, Knicks @ Bucks — OVER 13 points

Quickley's ability to provide New York with an offensive spark off the bench makes his OVER 13 points prop an intriguing one. Last year's Sixth Man of the Year nominee is averaging 15.4 points over his past 10 games, attempting 12.7 field goals per game.

Quickley scored 14 points against the Bucks earlier this season, and Milwaukee's perimeter defense has also looked shaky over its past three games, surrendering the seventh-highest three-point percentage in the league (40%). Expect a dead-eye shooter like Quickley to do everything in his power to keep the Knicks' In-Season title hopes alive. 

4. Bobby Portis, PF, Bucks vs. Knicks — OVER 9.5 points

We're focusing on another high-usage bench player, as Portis consistently looks to shoot the rock when on the floor. Portis averages nearly 10 field goal attempts per game in 23.9 minutes, although he had one of his less efficient scoring outings against New York in early November (four points, two-of-10 FG).

Despite his off-night, we're encouraged by his double-digit field goal attempt average. Portis' season-long 47.4 shooting averages likely result in an improved scoring night for Milwaukee's go-to bench scorer.
