Best NBA Bets Today (Monday, Dec 22)
Jaylen Brown over 6.5 rebounds (-119) vs. Indiana Pacers
DraftKings, 4:12 PM CT
Alex Barutha: Over the past 10 games, the Pacers are allowing the third-most rebounds per 48 minutes (47.1). However, with center Jay Huff spacing the floor, it's often opposing teams' non-centers grabbing rebounds. Brown is averaging 6.3 rebounds per game, so this represents a good opportunity for him to exceed his average.
Jay Huff over 1.5 made threes (-120) at Boston Celtics
BetMGM, 4:25 PM CT
Alex Barutha: Huff is 0-for-9 from distance across the past two games but was making 2.3 triples per game in his string of eight prior starts. As well as the Celtics have played, they're allowing the second-most made threes per 48 minutes across the past 10 games (15.4), most of which are non-corner threes. That's where Huff makes his money.
Dean Wade under 1.5 made threes (-165) vs. Charlotte Hornets
BetRivers, 4:33 PM CT
Alex Barutha: If there's one thing the Hornets do well, it's preventing spot-up threes. They allow the second-fewest points per game off spot-ups in the NBA (25.2), staying home on shooters. That doesn't bode well for Wade, who primarily scores his points off catch-and-shoot opportunities. Over his past three games as a starter, he's been 3-for-10 from distance.
