6-1 in Last 7 NBA Player Props Picks

Analysis

Jaime Jaquez Jr. started and played 31 minutes in Milwaukee’s season opener against the Wizards. He shot 8-for-12 from the field on his way to scoring 22 points. He was also efficient last season, shooting 50.7% from the field. The Bulls were one of the worst defensive teams in the league last season and were torched for 135 points by the Raptors in their first game of this season. With the expectation that Jaquez plays around 30 minutes again, this over is appealing.

Analysis

Jalen Smith will continue to start at center for the Bulls with Nic Claxton (hamstring) out. Last season, he averaged 10.2 points and 6.7 rebounds in just 21 minutes per game. With the Bulls getting blown out 135-92 by the Raptors in their first game, Smith only played 19 minutes. Still, he finished with 15 points and eight rebounds. He should play more in what should be a closer game against the Bucks, who just gave up 34 points and 12 rebounds to big man Anthony Davis in their season opener. Smith can thrive in this matchup.

Analysis

KAT has played the Celtics 10 times in his career. He’s only had more than four assists once, coming back in 2024. He only played 24 minutes in the home opener, due to foul trouble. Similar to banner night, wouldn’t be surprised if he commits at least two fouls in the first quarter, having to sit out most of the first half like us fans have become accustomed to. Early in the season, he’ll look to establish himself as a scorer as compared to the end of last season where he was more of a distributor in the playoffs.

Analysis

FanDuel. Jalen Johnson had an off game, by his standards, opening night against the Magic, shooting 7-19 and getting into foul trouble in the second half. Yet, he still managed 40 combined points, rebounds and assists, which was his average from last season. He cleared this line in 41/62 (67%) games last year playing 20+ minutes without Trae Young. The Hornets are a great spot for Johnson as they do not have a frontcourt matchup to counter Johnson’s athleticism.

Analysis

DraftKings. Collin Murray-Boyles was trending for 24-28 minutes against the Bulls, had it not been for a blowout on Opening Night. Despite a poor shooting night, the big man showed that he’s going to be an integral piece of the offense with seven shot attempts, nine rebounds and three assists in just 20 minutes. He should thrive against the Wizards, especially in the non-Anthony Davis minutes. I love this line, but also would bet over 18.5 PRA as an alternative.
