Best NBA Prop Bets December 10 2024

Best NBA Prop Bets for Tuesday, December 10

Kyrie Irving Over 4.5 Rebounds (+124) at FanDuel 

Irving has been on a tear on the glass, going over this line in five of his last six games. He also averaged 4.9 rebounds per game despite only grabbing one the last time he faced the Thunder in a 121-119 win on Nov. 17.

The Thunder climbed to 16th in rebound rate ever since Isaiah Hartenstein was inserted into the lineup, but they still allowed more rebounds per game to opposing guards than any team in basketball. This is also an In-Season Tournament game, which means that the level of defense should be high, and there should be more missed shots than usual (meaning more rebounding opportunities).

Bobby Portis Under 6.5 Rebounds (+114) at FanDuel 

Portis averaged 7.5 rebounds and grabbed 18 two games ago, but he still went under this line in five of his last six outings. He also played 23.8 minutes per night, his fewest since his first season with the Bucks in the 2020-21 campaign.

The Bucks are facing the Magic, who rank 10th in rebound rate and who conceded the second-fewest rebounds per game (40.8) to opponents. Their bench is also strong on the glass (seventh in bench rebound rate), which will be important in keeping Portis under this total during their Tuesday tussle.

Luka Doncic Under 3.5 Threes (+100) at FanDuel

Doncic is averaging a calm 28.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 8.1 assists for a Mavericks team that won 11 of its last 12 games. That said, he hasn’t been great from three, and only made 34.8 percent of his 10.1 attempts per game, resulting in him averaging exactly 3.5 made threes per game.

Still only 25 years old, Doncic went over in three of four games and shot 42.9 percent from three this month. However, he’s facing a Thunder squad that holds its opponents to 33.3 percent shooting from deep (second) and that surrenders the fifth-fewest threes per game (12.6).

Isaiah Hartenstein Over 11.5 Rebounds (-120) at FanDuel 

The Thunder lost their only previous meeting with the Mavericks this season largely because they could not hold their ground on the glass. P.J. Washington shone with 27 points and 17 rebounds as Dallas brought down a whopping 53 rebounds to OKC’s unimpressive 29.

Hartenstein averaged 12.8 rebounds and has played a huge role for the Thunder ever since he returned to action. He went over this line in five of his last six and in six of eight total games since he got back onto the court and should go over in a defensive-driven matchup.

Jalen Suggs 3+Threes (-135) at FanDuel 

Suggs only shot 32 percent from three one year after he made 39.7 percent of his attempts. That hasn't stopped him from taking a ton of looks as he attempted a career-high 7.1 threes per game, leading to him converting on 2.3 attempts per game.

Without Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero on the floor, Suggs figures to be the main man for the Magic offense. He made four threes in three straight games and is facing a Bucks defense that is only 24th in opponents’ threes per game and that is 18th in three-point percentage allowed (36.4 percent).
