The future Hall of Famer leads the way for his new team with 25.5 PPG per night. Durant averaged 26.6 points in December, and he finished the month with back-to-back 30-point performances.<\/p>\n Durant has cashed the Over in three of his last six only, but he\u2019s playing extremely well right now, and I\u2019m leaning into the revenge game narrative tonight as the Rockets face his former team, the Brooklyn Nets<\/a>. That always provides motivation for a player.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n While he scored just 19 points against the Nets earlier this season, KD is averaging just under 26 PPG on the road. I\u2019ll take him to show out again.<\/p>\n Where to watch<\/strong>: NBA TV Canada<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Prop #2:\u00a0Jalen Duren Over 10.5 rebounds<\/p>\n -115 at bet365<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ll sing Jalen Duren<\/a>\u2019s praises every single day. The big man is a physical force down low for the Detroit Pistons<\/a>, and he\u2019s quickly turning into one of the most impactful centers in the league due to his impact on both ends of the floor.<\/p>\n Aside from averaging nearly 20 PPG, the University of Memphis product is also bringing down 10.8 rebounds per night. He\u2019s cashed the Over in boards in four of his last seven appearances, and he\u2019s averaging 12.8 rebounds at home compared to 9.5 on the road. The Detroit Pistons will host the Miami Heat tonight.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Miami Heat<\/a> are also considered an easy matchup for opposing centers, allowing 15.6 rebounds per contest. Duren should dominate on the glass here.<\/p>\n Where to watch<\/strong>: FanDuel Sports Network-SU,\u00a0FanDuel Sports Network-DTX<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Prop #3:\u00a0Tyrese Maxey Over 27.5 points<\/p>\n -125 at bet365<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Joel Embiid<\/a>, who? Sure, Embiid is still a key piece for the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>, but Tyrese Maxey<\/a> has emerged as their superstar.<\/p>\n The Kentucky product is third in the league in points with 30.8, and he\u2019s fresh off showing out for 34 on Tuesday in a win over the Memphis Grizzlies.<\/p>\n In fact, Maxey has cashed the Over in points in five of his last seven outings. Sometimes, his total is even around 30 points, but it sits at 27.5 tonight, which screams value. The Sixers take on the struggling Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, and Maxey dropped 38 points on them on December 20.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n I expect another mammoth performance from the guard.<\/p>\n Where to watch<\/strong>: NBCSP,\u00a0KFAA<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Cash your ML bets quicker with bet365’s early win payout<\/p>\n Take advantage of the early win payout at bet365, where any pre-game NBA moneyline bet gets\u00a0paid out as a winner if your team goes up by 20+ points<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Bet Now\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n bet365<\/p>\n Learn more about this feature, and all of bet365’s offerings, with our comprehensive\u00a0bet365 review<\/a>.<\/p>\n 21+.
