MUST BET NBA Player Prop Picks & Predictions | Giannis Antetokounmpo & John Collins Tonight 10/21/21

There may only be three games across the NBA tonight, but they certainly pack a punch. Among the trio of intriguing early-season matchups is a Western Conference battle between the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors. The reigning NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks are also in action on Thursday. Needless to say, there are plenty of opportunities to pursue NBA betting action. With a little help from the Awesemo OddsShopper and NBA Betting Player Props Tools, let’s explore three can’t-miss prop bet predictions for tonight’s slate.

Best NBA Player Props & Betting Picks Tonight

John Collins Over 15.5 Points (-110) at DraftKings Sportsbook

The first of two nationally televised games on TNT tonight features the season opener for the Mavericks and Hawks. Thanks to the Awesemo OddsShopper Tool, bettors can identify a discrepancy in the NBA betting lines for total John Collins points in this game. While the majority of sportsbooks have the over/under set at 15.5, albeit with a different vig attached, the line can also be found at 16.5. Awesemo’s NBA Betting Player Props Tool projects Collins to score 17.51 points in tonight’s game. As such, the expected win probability on a bet for him to exceed 15.5 points is 65%. Considering that Collins has averaged at least 17.6 points per game in each of the last three seasons, historical player stats support this prediction as well.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 13.5 Rebounds (-118) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Giannis Antetokounmpo got the Bucks’ title defense off to a strong start on Tuesday night. Antetokounmpo’s massive stat line in the season opener included 14 rebounds. He has averaged double-digit rebounds in each of the last five seasons. However, expecting him to replicate that 14-rebound performance tonight is a big ask. Awesemo’s NBA Betting Player Props Tool gives under 12.5 rebounds a 61% chance of hitting tonight. This prop line has gotten as high as 13.5. The Heat were one of the slowest teams last season, and add in the presence of two quality rebounders in Bam Adebayo and P.J. Tucker, and it will be difficult for Antetokounmpo to have the same impact on the glass that he did two nights ago.

Reggie Jackson Over 3.5 Assists (+100) at Caesar’s Sportsbook

After coming up huge for the Clippers in the playoffs last year, Reggie Jackson enters the new season as the team’s starting point guard. Awesemo’s NBA Betting Player Props Tool likes him to get off to a strong start tonight and exceed 3.5 assists against the Warriors. While Jackson only averaged 3.1 assists per contest last season, he largely played reserve minutes. The props tool projects him for 4.2 assists in Los Angeles’ season opener tonight. A bet to the over on Jackson’s assists prop has an expected win percentage of 61% and a solid expected ROI of 23%.
