NBA Free Bet – Suns vs Nuggets free pick – May 9th 2023

ASA play on OVER 228 Phoenix Suns @ Denver Nuggets 10PM ET

We expect another higher scoring game tonight between the Suns and Nuggets. In Game 3 these two teams combined for 235 total points. A big reason was the pace of play. The Suns played much faster with Chris Paul on the bench and Cameron Payne pushing the pace. These two teams combined for 192 field goal attempts which is significantly higher than the league average of 176. Then in Game 4 these two teams produced 253 total points with incredible shooting as both teams hit over 56% from the field. The Nuggets were 5th in offensive efficiency on the season, the Suns were 14th in OEFF. Both teams have averaged nearly 1.180-points per possession in the Playoffs which is 2nd and 3rd in offensive efficiency. Four of the last five meetings between these two teams has resulted in more points than today’s number and we are betting that trend continues.

ASA’s NBA free bet on Milwaukee Bucks Team Total OVER 112.5pts vs. Miami Heat, 7:30PM ET

Milwaukee essentially played without Giannis in Game 1 as he left the game with a back injury just 10-minutes in. The Bucks still managed 117 total points without him. Then in Game 2 the Bucks shot lights-out and put up 138. Milwaukee shot 54% overall and made 25 of 49 3-pointers or 51%. We don’t expect the Bucks to shoot that well again in Game 3 but they won’t have too for them to get to 113.  This team was the 8th highest scoring team in the league this season at 116.9PPG and ranked 10th in offensive efficiency at 1.120PPP. Milwaukee has the 10th best EFG% average in the NBA at 55.5%. This team was built with shooters and is reliant on 3-point shooting. Milwaukee attempts the 4th most 3’s per game in the league, and on average make 36.6% of their attempts. In Game 1 though the Bucks connected on just 11 of 45 3-pointers or 24%. That number is clearly an anomaly as the Bucks typically shoot much better than that AND the Heat don’t defend the Arc well, ranking 19th in the NBA allowing 36.3%. This Milwaukee team is deep and has capable scorers that can put up more than 113 with or without Giannis. Milwaukee has scored more than 113 in four straight games against the Heat and we like them to get there today as our NBA free bet.

NBA Player Prop Bets – Friday, April 7th

ASA NBA Player Prop OVER 27.5 POINTS+REBOUNDS Alperen Sengun – Houston Rockets

The Hornets are sitting a host of starters in this one so expect the Rockets starters to feast on weaker competition. Sengun is on tap for a big stat night against a Hornets team that allows the 3rd most points to Centers on average at 25.1PPG and also give up the 3rd most rebounds per game at 16.6. Sengun has totaled 28+ Pts+Rebs in 4 straight games. Easy OVER call here.

ASA NBA Player Prop OVER 14.5 POINTS – James Wiseman – Detroit Pistons

The Pistons are using these late season games to evaluate Wiseman and how he fits this roster moving forward. It has led to improved production and additional minutes in recent weeks. Wiseman has scored 14 or more points in 8 of his last ten games and gets a favorable matchup with the Pacers tonight. Indiana allows the 5th most average points to Centers at 24.6PPG. The Pacers allow 53.3PPG in the paint on the season which is the 26th highest number in the league. Bet OVER here.

ASA NBA Player Prop OVER 14.5 POINTS Jabari Smith Jr. – Houston Rockets

Smith Jr. has is averaging 14.2PPG over his last ten games and has scored 14 or more points in 6 of his last nine games. His usage and minutes have remained constant even with the Rockets season a shambles. In fact, his field goat attempts have gone up so we can bank on him getting enough looks in this game to go over his scoring total. The Hornets allow on average 24.3PPG to Power Forwards on the season which is the 2nd highest average allowed in the league.

NBA Players Prop Bets – April 5th

ASA player prop OVER 25.5 POINTS+ASSISTS – Russell Westbrook – LA Clippers

Russ gets to face his former team tonight and we expect a big night in terms of scoring and assists. To begin with the Lakers give up the 2nd most points to PG’s on the season at 26.4PPG and rank 17th in Assists allowed per game at 8.1. Westbrook is averaging 24.8 Pts+Ass in his last ten games and is coming off a 34Pts+Ass game versus the Pelicans on Saturday. With extra rest and motivation we like a big game from Russell tonight.

ASA player prop UNDER 6.5 REBOUNDS – Brook Lopez – Milwaukee Bucks

The Bulls are the #1 team in the NBA when it comes to rebounds allowed to Centers at 13.3 per game. Lopez averages 6.66 per game on the season but has been held to 6 of less in 3 straight games and 5 of his last nine. There is a good chance the Bucks rest starters which would also limit his production tonight.

ASA player prop OVER 17.5 POINTS – Trey Murphy – New Orleans Pelicans

The Pelicans are in a must win mindset and are coming off a back loss last night to the Kings. In this setting we expect Murphy to have a big game against the Grizzlies. On the season the Grizzlies do a solid job of defending shooting guards as they allow 23.4PPG. In the last two weeks though they are giving up an average of 27.9PPG and they haven’t faced many great SG’s in that time frame. Murphy is averaging 18.3PPG in his last ten games and has scored 17 or more points in 6 of his last 8 games.

ASA NBA Player prop OVER 24.5 POINTS – Kyrie Irving – Dallas Mavericks

The Kyrie deal to the Mavs has certainly been a bust but that doesn’t enter into the equation here. The fact of the matter is the Mavericks are in a must-win situation tonight facing a Kings team locked into the 3 seed in the West. Irving should have a big scoring night against a Sacramento team that allows the 4th most points to shooting guards on the season at 24.9PPG. Irving is averaging 26.5PPG on the season.

ASA NBA Player Prop Bets – Friday March 31st

ASA Player Prop OVER 21.5 POINTS+ASSISTS – Chris Paul – Phoenix Suns

We like the scenario for Paul to have a big scoring and assist game tonight against a Nuggets team that may be without Jokic, Porter Jr. and Murray. The Nuggets are also the 4th worst team in the NBA when it comes to defending point guards in scoring as they allow on average 25.5PPG. They also give up the 2nd most assists to PG’s on the year at 8.8. Chris Paul has totaled 20 or more Pts+Ass in 8 of the last ten games. Easy Over call here.

ASA NBA Player Prop OVER 9.5 POINTS – Cory Joseph – Detroit Pistons

This could be a big scoring night for Joseph as he faces a Rockets team that allows 26.7PPG to point guards on the season which is the highest number in the NBA. As a team the Rockets are the 2nd worst defensive efficiency team in the NBA as they allow 1.197-points per possession. Joseph has averaged 13.44PPG in his last ten games and has scored in double-digits in 8 of his last nine games. Bet OVER here.
