DP’S NBA PLAYER PROP
SEASON RECORD: 11-5
Expert NBA Player Props Analyst, Daniel Parisi, gives his best daily prop, exclusive to subscribers.
MIAMI @ DALLAS
The Miami Heat have endured an interesting week of hoops; two OT wins 
against the Bulls and Hawks, plus a grueling loss at the hands of the leagues hottest unit in the LA Lakers.
Playing short handed without Dragic and Winslow has resulted in significant minutes for the Heat core which will gift Dallas and Porzingis a relatively stress free night on the glass.
The Mavericks lead the league in contested rebounds at 16.3 compared to the Heat who round out in the bottom 5. With heavy legs, playing on a back to back set – I expect the Mavericks to be +10 on the glass, paving the way for a big boards night, with Porzingis the benefactor.
DP’S BEST BET – PORZINGIS OVER 7.5 REBOUNDS – WIN

The Raptors are in need of a win after losing 4 of their last 5 games. Their impeccable home record has taken a beating in the last week with 3 straight losses (Heat, Rockets & Clippers). Although, not bad teams at all.
They do have an advantage with Kyrie still out, like the North to take control.

THE RUB
This is a pure hunch tip here with Kawhi and Lou expected to sit and an almost .500 road record.
The Clippers were the 4th team this season to reach the 20 wins mark while the Bulls became the second team to lose to the Hornets twice. Chicago are a tipping black hole and should be avoided at all cost.
They only managed 73 points for the game last night against the Hronets which was the lowest of all teams for season 19/20.
Perhaps avoid this one.

The Wizards have had a few days off and get their opponents on a B2B. Memphis are 3-11 on home court which does reflect their young lineup with Morant returning from injury tonight.
Washington for a point of difference, we do see teams taking some time to gel after key players return from a stint out.
