Best NBA Player Props for Opening Night

What is UP Grinders!?!?!

What a weird night last night! We went 2-1 but should of had a 4-0 sweep. Brandon Aiyuk hit 5 catches in the first half but ended up pushing after not seeing a single catch in the 2nd half! And Josh Metellus had 0 tackles through three quarters after playing every snap and finished with 5 just one tackle away from covering.

But now NBA Season is HERE and we will have fire content coming for you all year long. And opening night always gives us some INSANE free wins that ANYONE can take and this year we have:

Underdog Free Square: Lebron James Over 0.5 Points

Sleeper Free Square: Klay Thompson Over 0.5 Points

PrizePicks Free Square: Steph Curry Over 0.5 Points

These are all easy wins you need to take advantage of. Use code CARUSO if new to any of these apps! It’s the way to support me so I can keep all of my content free forever.

As always, every betting slip I take is on Pikkit. Its where I track all my bets and you can track yours from any sportsbook!

And now for our NBA Plays starting with the

Play of the Day: Nikola Jokic Under 49.5 Points +Rebounds +Assists (Underdog, Sleeper, PrizePicks)

Since 2020, Jokic has played 17 Games against the Lakers with less than 40 minutes and he hit the Over in just 2/17 games. One of those games Lebron James was out and the other the Lakers were starting Lonnie Walker and Patrick Beverley! Jokic also has started slower in season openers going 0-7 when he did not play 40+ Minutes. The Lakers have a chip on their shoulder and more size than the last time they played the Nuggets.

Kevin Durant Under 31.5 Points (Underdog, Sleeper)

In his 14 season openers he has been at 30 or less points in 11/14 and was at exactly 32 or less in 13/14. The only Season Opener for Durant with more than exactly 32 points was back in 2013 and the Warriors have had his number holding him to 23 or less points in all four games since he left their team (all of them were on the Nets though). The Suns just added Bradley Beal and a new scheme with head coach Frank Vogel debuting tonight. Too much has to go right for Durant to hit this over

That is all for today! More to come for NBA tomorrow and then NBA+ NFL on Thursday.

I will usually have 4-6 NBA Plays each day going forward, opening night is just a little more tricky with all of the changes from the previous season!

Until next time,

LETS. KEEP. GRINDING.
