76ers vs Hornets prop: Brandon Miller Over 34.5 PRA

Top pick: Brandon Miller Over 34.5 points + rebounds + assists

Brandon Miller has cleared 34.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists in three of his last four games, averaging 41.9 PRA during that stretch. With Kon Knueppel and Coby White sidelined, Miller has taken on a heavier offensive workload, sporting a career-high 34.4% usage rate heading into our 76ers vs. Hornets predictions.

Cavaliers vs Bucks prop: Tyler Herro Over 19.5 points

  • Time: 8 p.m. ET
  • TV: WCGV, DAZN-CLE
  • Analyst: Quinn Allen

Top pick: Tyler Herro Over 19.5 points

Herro has cleared 19.5 points in four of his first five games, averaging 23.4 points with a team-high 27.9% usage rate. Cleveland is allowing 27.9 points per game to opposing shooting guards, giving Herro a favorable matchup to reach 20 points in our Cavaliers vs. Bucks predictions.

Timberwolves vs Spurs prop: Victor Wembanyama Under 39.5 PRA

  • Time: 8 p.m. ET
  • TV: DAZN
  • Analyst: JC Blanco

Top pick: Victor Wembanyama Under 39.5 points + rebounds + assists

JC Blanco believes Wembanyama will struggle against Rudy Gobert tonight, a massive upgrade over the Jazz and Kings bigs. Gobert is holding his matchups to just 43.4% shooting.

Thunder vs Rockets prop: Kevin Durant Over 29.5 PRA

  • Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
  • TV: NBA TV
  • Analyst: Ed Scimia

Top pick: Kevin Durant Over 29.5 points + rebounds + assists

Kevin Durant is averaging 23.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.2 assists for a combined 32.5 PRA this season, giving him room to clear the 29.5 line. Oklahoma City's injury-depleted lineup could make life easier for Durant, who needs 30 combined points, rebounds, and assists to cash the Over in our Thunder vs. Rockets predictions.

Stints at Amherst News and the Cape Breton Post helped sharpen his skills in a newsroom setting, while working for MSVU and Dalhousie’s athletic departments landed Kyle in his comfort zone.

Kyle’s biggest tip for any bettor is simple: gamble responsibly. Only bet what you’re willing to lose and make sure to install a proper bankroll method to keep track of your ROI. If you’re still dwelling on the amount you lost the next day, it’s time to decrease your spending.
