Best NBA Bets Today (Predictions, Prop Bets for Steph Curry, Damian Lillard, Josh Har

What a start to the week!

A perfect 5-for-5 card in Tuesday’s NBA Cup action set yours at 7-0 in NBA betting since Monday, with eight games on Wednesday to keep the momentum going.

Tonight is props night, where I keep an eye on two superstar guards and a do-it-all wing – all props with points.

Simple enough, right?

Let’s break down each of these choices for Wednesday, November 20.

Damian Lillard OVER 24.5 points (-120)

Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has been in a slump, going 1-for-18 from beyond the arc over his last three games.

However, he has an ideal matchup on Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls, who rank 24th in the NBA in defensive rating and first in pace, meaning we should see an uptempo, high-scoring affair in this game.

Dame already had a 28-point game against Chicago earlier this season, and the Bucks star has scored 25 or more points in six of his 11 games, an average of 25.3 per night. Chicago allows the eighth-most points per game (25.1) to opposing point guards, and we’ve already seen Dame torch this weak defense.

I think he’ll get back on track on Wednesday.

Josh Hart OVER 12.5 points (-110) – 0.5 units

New York Knicks wing Josh Hart has been on a tear lately, scoring 13 or more points in seven of his last 10 games and nine of his 14 games overall.

New York is on the road against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, but I think Hart could be in line for a big game. He has been shooting well from the 3-ball lately (at least two shots from deep in three straight games), and on the season he is averaging 13.7 points while shooting an impressive 58.4 percent from the field.

With Miles McBride (knee) out, the Knicks played the entire second half against Hart and Mikal Bridges in their win over Brooklyn on Sunday. Don’t be shocked if Tom Thibodeau Hart plays a ton of minutes – leading to an expanded offensive role – in this road matchup.

Steph Curry OVER 25.5 points (-115)

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry only has four games (out of 10) in which he has recorded 25.5 points, but he has a great game on Wednesday night.

Golden State will take on the Atlanta Hawks, and both teams are in the top five in the NBA in terms of pace this season. Additionally, Atlanta ranks in the NBA’s bottom 10 in defensive rating and allows the most three-pointers per game (16.7) while allowing opponents to shoot 39.7 percent from deep.

Could there be a better match for the greatest 3-point shooter of all time?

Curry is coming off a 26-point game against the Los Angeles Clippers, and he is 4-for-4 in this prop when playing 30 minutes or more this season.

I’ll be rooting for the future Hall of Famer for a big game on Wednesday.
