Daily NBA Player Props – January 1st
Cade Cunningham – Over 10.5 Assists (+104)
Cunningham has been high on the assists lately. In fact, we cashed his over just two days ago. Although that line has been climbing a bit, there is still tons of value here. Over the last four games, he’s 3-1 against this line and is averaging 12.8 dimes per game. The Heat come to town on Thursday, and they haven’t exactly been a beacon of defense. They rank 19th in the league with 117.5 points allowed per game, which should give him plenty of chances to pick up assists.
Derrick White – Over 4.5 Rebounds (+122)
Derrick White might not be the first name you look for with rebounds, but few on the Celtics have been better at hitting the over consistently. In the last seven games, he’s had at least five rebounds in six of them. Not only is that a great streak, but he has an excellent matchup on Thursday. The Kings are the worst team in the league when it comes to rebounding percentage and in the bottom third of shooting percentage. That should open up plenty of rebounding chances.
VJ Edgecombe – Over 14.5 Points (-110)
Edgecombe recently had a couple of duds, where he put up just 10 points in back-to-back games. However, outside of those games, he has been a man on fire lately. Despite having those two games, he has cracked 20 in five of his last seven games. He’ll face a Dallas team that has been bad on defense all year and is struggling even more lately. They rank 20th in the league in points allowed with 117.7 per game, and have allowed an even more robust 121.3 over the last three games.
