NBA PLAYER PROP BETS FREE PICKS | Saturday, Feb 22nd 2025
ASA NBA Player Prop Bet – UNDER 20.5 POINTS – Coby White – Chicago Bulls
Chicago hosts the Phoenix Suns on Saturday and one player we expect to struggle scoring is Coby White of the Bulls. White has been UNDER his scoring prop in 3 straight games and UNDER 20.5 points in 10 of his last 15 games. He is averaging 18ppg on the season, shooting 43% overall and 37% from Deep. He averages 32.7 minutes per game and in games where he plays 30-33 minutes, he has stayed UNDER his scoring prop in 10 of the last twelve games. The Suns defense has done well against similar players to White in recent games holding opponents UNDER their scoring prop in 5 of the last six games. 60% of White’s scoring (excluding FT’s) comes from beyond the arc and the Suns 3PT% defense is 11th best in the league.
ASA NBA Player Prop Bet – OVER 30.5 POINTS + REBOUNDS – Nikola Vucevic – Chicago Bulls
We like Vucevic to have a big game against the Suns on Saturday. The Suns struggle to stop opposing Centers as they give up the 3rd most rebounds per game at 16.6 and allow the 4th most points per game at 23.5. Vucevic went through a slump right before the trade deadline as he was being shopped heavily but the Bulls. In his first game after the break against the Knicks he had a big Pts+Rebs game of 30 against New York. The significance of that number is that it came against a Knicks team that allows the 4th fewest Rebounds and Points p/game to opposing Centers. In two games against the Suns last season Vucevic had total Pts+Rebs of 32 and 36. We like him to go OVER 30.5 today.

The 67th running of the iconic Daytona 500 is set to kick off the NASCAR Cup Series season on Sunday, February 16, 2025, at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Known as “The Great American Race,” this event promises high speeds, thrilling pack racing, and the unpredictable nature that makes it a favorite among fans and bettors alike.
Race Overview:
Date: February 16, 2025
Time: 2:30 PM ET
TV: FOX
Track: Daytona International Speedway, a 2.5-mile tri-oval
Laps: 200 (500 miles)
Betting Insights:
The Daytona 500 often defies expectations, with longshots frequently crossing the finish line first. Here’s a look at the current betting odds for the drivers, based on recent performances, history at Daytona, and the overall market sentiment:
Top Favorites:
Kyle Busch (+1100): Despite never clinching the Daytona 500, Busch has shown consistent performance at Daytona and is a perennial threat due to his experience and skill.
Brad Keselowski (+1100): With a knack for superspeedway racing, Keselowski’s odds reflect his potential to break through with another Daytona victory.
Denny Hamlin (+1200): Hamlin is one of the few active drivers with multiple Daytona 500 wins, making him a strong contender again this year.
Joey Logano (+1200): A Daytona 500 winner in 2015, Logano’s experience in pack racing makes him a solid pick.
Ryan Blaney (+1300): Blaney, coming off a championship season, has the momentum to potentially claim his first Daytona 500 win.
Contenders:
Kyle Larson (+1400): Larson’s versatility across tracks makes him a dark horse, though Daytona hasn’t been his strongest venue.
Chase Elliott (+1500): Elliott’s consistent top performances at Daytona make him a constant threat for the win.
Chris Buescher (+1700): Buescher has shown strong performances on superspeedways, which could translate into a win.
William Byron (+1800): Defending champion Byron looks to achieve a rare back-to-back victory.
Longshots with Potential:
Bubba Wallace (+2200): With multiple top finishes at Daytona, Wallace could surprise.
Austin Cindric (+2400): The 2022 Daytona 500 winner, Cindric’s odds suggest he’s not to be overlooked despite the competition.
Noah Gragson (+4000): A new team might just be the boost Gragson needs to make a statement in his Daytona debut.
Michael McDowell (+4000): After his surprising 2021 win, McDowell remains a longshot with the capability to repeat.
Dark Horses:
Zane Smith (+7000): Young talent with solid performances in the lower series at Daytona.
Helio Castroneves (+6500): An IndyCar legend, Castroneves brings an intriguing element to NASCAR’s premier event.
Betting Strategy:
Race Winner: Betting on the outright winner can be risky due to the race’s chaotic nature. Consider diversifying your bets across a few drivers.
Place Betting: Given the high crash rate, betting on a driver to place in the top 3 or top 5 can offer good returns with less risk.
Head-to-Head Matchups: These can be more predictable, focusing on which of two drivers will finish higher, regardless of their overall position.
Prop Bets: Look for bets on specific outcomes like leading the most laps or being the first to crash out.
Final Thoughts:
The Daytona 500 is as much about luck as it is about skill, making it one of the most exciting races for betting. With a field full of talented drivers, strategic bets can lead to significant wins. Remember, the nature of speedway racing at Daytona means that anyone can win, so keep an eye on the longshots and prepare for an unpredictable race day.
Good luck, and may your bets be as thrilling as the race itself!
