Best Player Props Between the Nets & 76ers Tonight

I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news and there are only two NBA games tonight. But the good news is that you'll see Kyrie Irving following a 50 point performance. James Harden take on the nets for the first time since last month's trade and playmakers like Kevin Durant and Steph curry also in action. But it's the two M. V. P. Front runners who may garner the most attention six or centered well and beat brings his NBA leading 29.7 points per game into tonight's contest against the nets and Nuggets. Big man Nikola Jokic will present plenty of problems for the Warriors as he leads the NBA with 18 triple doubles this season. So joining us now to talk about these two games and sports betting analyst, Alex Glaze. So Alex Blaze. Let's talk about the game with plenty of buzz its nets and sixers, we're gonna see Kyrie and KD face off against Embiid and James Harden. Which duo is the better one to bet on tonight. Yeah, I'm backing KD and Kyrie. I like the nets to cover tonight. This is just a great spot for the nets. They've been great on the road and great as road underdogs this season, covering almost 60% of the time. We're covering 60% of the time, I should say. Um it just feels like all these games down the stretch are must win games for the nets. They look to avoid the play in tournament and really turn things up as we get closer to the postseason. Now we talked about this uh this nets team, they're gonna be missing. Ben Simmons obviously that would help on the defensive end for them with that explosive affiliates or with that explosive Sixers offense. But Kyrie has been special this year. KD is looking like K. D. For the most part since he's returned from injury. So I'm expecting a lot of points and I'm expecting a close game. Um So I have no problem pocketing points tonight. Well the line has been tight but it's the Warriors that are favored to win on the road by 1.5. So are you taking these odds? I'm actually I'm on the Nuggets tonight. I like the Nuggets. I think the wrong team is is favored in this spot. This is the second time this week that the Warriors and Nuggets have played. The Nuggets won that first game by seven points earlier in the week. Now granted Steph curry Klay Thompson and uh Andrew Wiggins were missing in that game and they'll be in the lineup tonight. But I still just think this Nuggets team, they're just playing great basketball right now. Um you know, they won both matchups this season. And even though this is a tough spot with them playing on a back to back tonight. I just it's tough to back this Warriors team, especially they're gonna be missing. Andre Iguodala Gary Payton, the second Otto porter. Um they're gonna be pretty shorthanded even though they are getting their Stars back. I just like the way the Nuggets are playing right now and I think that they should be favored in this game. So I definitely have no problem pocketing the points with them, Alex quickly on this one. Nikola Jokic has been stuffing the stat sheet all year long. Can he get a triple double tonight? At plus 1 25 odds? I mean, can he? Yes, he had 32 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists the other day when, when they played. But I mean, listen, plus 1, 25 is just not great odds. So I don't think that's a good vet. Um he I mean, he can get a triple double anytime he wants to write. I just don't see the value tonight. Absolutely. Okay, Alex, we're gonna play a couple of games with you tonight. First one bullish or bearish. So what pics from But MGm? Sports book are you hot on or bullish on tonight? Yeah, we talked about Kyrie Irving. I'm bullish on, Kyrie going over his three pointers props over 2.5 threes coming off that 50 point performance. He went nine for 12 from beyond the arc and has hit two threes in all but two games this season and he's had three or more threes and seven of the last 10 games he's played in. So this is a Sixers team that's ranked in the bottom third of the league, An opponent three point percentage in their last three games. I think that this is great value at plus 100 even money for Kyrie to hit three threes or more tonight. And now we got to ask, what do you bearish on or staying away from tonight? Oh, I thought we were gonna still want to stay with Bullish but bearish. So I'm bearish on on the sixers, I'm bearish on the sixers minus 4.5. We already talked about why that's just tough to stand in front of the Sixers team right now, given how they've played ever since James Harden joined that line up. But I just think this is a tough spot for him tonight. They're gonna be going against a really hungry Nets team that that wants to win that needs to win. And we've talked so much about how James Harden has affected that sixers offense, that sixers defense has also been playing pretty well tonight or so far. But I think that harden maybe has cooled off a little bit, only 16 points against that bad Chicago offense or Chicago defense the other day. So I I like the nets to keep this one close. Okay, super quickly Alex last one. What is your absolute can't lose lock that we want to take all the way to the bank tonight. Yeah, Tyrese Maxey over 1.5 threes. Um it's a little juice but max has been really, really great and he's been unleashed since James Harden joined this, the Sixers lineup, he's attempted five or six threes in each of the last five games and has hit two threes in six straight games. That just so happens to be the number of games that James Harden has been with the Sixers, so it's a little bit juiced. But I think max you can easily get you two threes tonight, Alex, thank you so much for joining us today. That was sports betting analyst Alex Glaze.
