DP’S PLAYER PROP

SEASON RECORD: 18-11

Expert NBA Player Props Analyst, Daniel Parisi, gives his best daily prop, exclusive to subscribers.

PORTLAND @ NEW YORK

It’s been a tough year for the Trail Blazers, in particular, a most recent stretch of 4 straight defeats but a win against the Knicks tomorrow will kick start their 5 game road trip.

Despite owning a (14-20) record, Damian Lillard continues to put his best foot forward averaging 27.2 points on the year.

Of late, Lillard has returned 3 straight 30+ performances whilst averaging 5 triples per game.

Last time these two teams met, Lillard poured in 8 triples to amass 31 points in a 28 point victory.

Whilst I think this fixture will be far trickier, Lillard will continue to shoot it at volume and take control on offense with little support around him aside from CJ.

Lillard over 27.5 to give me my first prop win of 2020!

DP’S PICK –  DAMIAN LILLARD OVER 27.5 POINTS

The injury-ravaged Wizards are coming off one of their best wins of the season as little-used players take their turns to step up.

Washington got a franchise-record 80 points off the bench in Monday’s 123-105 home win over the Heat while key players like Bradley Beal (leg), Moritz Wagner (ankle), Davis Bertans (quad) and Rui Hachimura (groin) and Thomas Bryant (foot) all sat out.

The Magic are healthier, are coming off a disappointing loss, and are better defensively.

POR UNDER NY
-4.0 223.0 117-93

Portland look to record their 7th-straight win over New York. The Blazers rolled to a 115-87 home victory over the Knicks on Dec. 10th and the 28-point margin is Portland’s largest win of the season.

New York is playing its lone home contest of a 7-game stretch and the span started with back-to-back wins at the Nets and Wizards as they improved to 5-6 since interim coach Mike Miller took over for the fired David Fizdale.

Gotta go the Blazers, with Melo looking to salute the Garden once more.

OUR PICK  – PORTLAND -4.0

Trends strongly leading towards the Bucks to beat another sub .500 team into submission tonight, however an -17.0 spread is something that we haven’t seen since the Warriors were at their peak over the last 5 years.

Overs the best bet here and the -17.0 is way too much for us after the last couple of weeks NBA results.

OUR PICK  – MINNESOTA +17.0 & OVER 227.0

LeBron recorded 10+ assists in 4-straight games and he became the 9th player in NBA history to reach 9,000 career assists during Sunday’s 108-95 home triumph over Dallas.

Both rank in the top 10 offensively, so the Overs nice, but going to leave out of the parlay.

OUR PICK  – OVER 226.5
