The NBA regular season will resume on Thursday, and we’ve got the best betting picks from every game across the entire league.

The Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks advanced to the In-Season Tournament semifinal in Las Vegas with wins in last night’s quarterfinal matchups. They will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Milwaukee Bucks, who punched their tickets on Tuesday.

This is one of the best times of the year to be a sports fan with the NBA, the College Football Playoff, and the NFL playoffs approaching. But tonight, we’re keeping our attention on the hardwood. 

Here are our favorite NBA betting picks and player props for Thursday night.

Best NBA Player Props Today December 12

Best NBA Prop Bets for Thursday, December 12

Duncan Robinson Over 10.5 Points (-128) at FanDuel 

Robinson recently saw an increase in minutes, going from 16.3 per game in October to 23.9 in November to 25.2 in December. That resulted in him going for 19 and 23 points in his last two games and hitting the over in six of his last 11 outings. 

The 30-year-old former undrafted free-agent shot better at home than he did on the road and is facing a Toronto Raptors team that allows the sixth-most points per game. He went under in both matchups with Toronto thus far, but he was one bucket away from the over both times and was terrific in his last two games.

Davion Mitchell Under 8.5 Points (-111) at FanDuel

Mitchell recently proclaimed that he was the best defensive player in the NBA. And while that may be true, he averaged 6.6 points and went under this line in 10 straight games. Even with Scottie Barnes set to miss time with an injury, Mitchell likely won’t see a large increase in minutes.

The Miami Heat are seventh in points allowed per game and held Mitchell to seven and four points when they faced off. He simply is not a high-volume shooter, and his inability to hit the over in 10 straight games suggests that this is a solid pick.

Kristaps Porzingis Under 7.5 Rebounds (-120) at FanDuel

Porzingis missed the start of the season as he rehabbed a knee injury he suffered during the NBA playoffs. He was excellent ever since he returned to the lineup and averaged 20.6 points and 7.8 rebounds, going over his rebounding line four times in five games. 

Despite Porzingis’ strong return, we’re looking at him to take a step back on the boards. Jayson Tatum should be back in the lineup, which will take potential rebounds away from the tall Latvian, and the Detroit Pistons allow the sixth-fewest rebounds per game to their opponents.

Kevin Huerter Over 3.5 Rebounds (+102) at FanDuel

Huerter is not often discussed as a rebounder because, well, that’s not his job. His job is to shoot threes, run in transition, and space the floor. But looking at his abilities on the glass could prove to be a savvy play on Thursday.

Huerter grabbed five boards in just 22 minutes in his last game and went over in two of his last three. The New Orleans Pelicans are also 26th in rebounds allowed per game and shot the ball horribly over recent weeks, which should lead to even more rebounding opportunities for Huerter and the Sacramento Kings.

Tobias Harris Over 11.5 Points (-128) at FanDuel

Harris averaged 14.1 points and scored 27 points when he played the Boston Celtics just eight days ago. He also went over this line in five of his last six outings and shot the ball much better on the road than he did at home (even making 7.9 percent more of his three-point attempts).

The Pistons covered the spread both times they played the Celtics and scored 120 points when they met just over a week ago. Boston is ninth in points allowed per game, but this line is very low for Harris, especially with how he shot the ball recently and the last time he faced this opponent.
