NBA Player Props for Today

Miami Heat at Charlotte Hornets

Brandon Miller 4+ Made Threes (+134)

The Miami Heat are a great matchup for Brandon Miller to have a big night from three.

Miami allows the ninth-highest three-point attempt rate (42.3%) on the year. They've been especially giving to small forwards, surrendering the second-most made threes per night to SFs over the last 15 games (3.5).

Miller can take advantage. He's shooting 37.4% from deep this season, and he's not shy, putting up 8.1 three-point tries per game. That jumps to 9.2 three-point attempts per game at home.

Miller has played Miami just twice over the last two years. He's gone 8 for 18 from three across the two games. He should get looks tonight, and I like him to nail four-plus triples.

Philadelphia 76ers at Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic Under 13.5 Rebounds (-136)

The Philadelphia 76ers are in trouble tonight. They're expected to be without both Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid for a Mile High date with the Denver Nuggets -- a game where the spread is 15.5 points.

While it's terrifying to take the under on anything Nikola Jokic in such a good matchup, the lopsided spread pushes me toward this bet.

If this game gets ugly, which it very well might, Jokic may not see as many minutes as he usually does. Denver is likely looking for a spot to lessen Jokic's minutes a bit after he's played at least 38 minutes in three of the past four games. Tonight might be the perfect spot for them to give him a little extra time on the bench.

In each of the last three games in which Jokic has seen 33 or fewer minutes, he's been held to 12 or fewer rebounds -- averaging 11.0 in that split.

If this game stays competitive and Jokic sees close to 40 minutes, the under may be in trouble, but I think it's the side to be on today.
