SEASON RECORD: 10-4

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

DALLAS @ DETROIT

Luka Doncic and his surging Dallas Mavericks take the road to Mexico City to face the Detroit Pistons.

Doncic enters with a full 2 days rest and his numbers suggest on this metric that the most versatile guard in the league is set for a monster game on the dimes.

Doncic averages a high 10.6 assists with 2 day rest, well above his season average of 9.2.

With consideration of this game being played at altitude, we’re going to pass up on his points total and watch him flick it around like hot sauce.

DP’S BEST BET – LUKA DONCIC OVER 8.5 ASSISTS – WIN

THE RUB

The 76ers are 13-0 at home but are a shaky 5-7 in away games as they meet a Boston team with its own flawless 10-0 home mark.

Boston enter tonight on a 4-game home winning streak against the 76ers  and havn’t lost at TD Garden this season. Adding some flavor to this one, Al Horford returns to Boston for the first time since leaving for Philly in free agency.

Boston are on a back to back, and we sense the Celtics will get their first strike against their record at home tonight.

Both rank top 6 in the league in defensively so Unders also nice.

OUR PICK  – PHILADELPHIA +1.5 & UNDER 211.0

THE RUB

Detroit look for their 5th win in 6, having scraped past the Pelicans 105-103 thanks to a Derrick Rose game-winner on Monday. Comparatively.

Dallas will be hoping to regain some swagger after falling 110-106 to Sacramento at home, snapping what had been a 5-game streak.

The Mavs enter with a 4-game road winning streak and Porzingis could further improving that record, averaging 28.0 ppg from his last 5 games against the Pistons.

THE RUB

Denver have lost 6 of 6 and failed to score more than 102 points in any of those losses, culminating in a 97-92 loss to the 76ers on Tuesday.

Portland are fighting out of their own slump and secured a 2-2 homestand by taking advantage of the Knicks in a 115-87 win on Tuesday.

Jokic averages of 27.2 ppg and 13.3 rpg from his last 10 games against Portland. This will mark another return to Pepsi Center for Carmelo Anthony, who has never tasted victory at this venue since leaving the Nuggets in 2011.

Jamal Murray played just five minutes due to injury and along with Paul Millsap is questionable tonight.

OUR PICK  – PORTLAND +6.5
