It’s Wednesday night in the NBA and we’ve got a huge 11-game slate to sink our team into. After last night’s disappointing slate, we have a couple of crunch matchups on ESPN as the Nuggets battle the Knicks at 7:30 pm ET before the Thunder meet the Warriors at 10:00 pm ET to close out the doubleheader. While we have a Nuggets vs Knicks Same Game Parlay for that first matchup, I’ve got a Bulls vs Celtics prediction as my best NBA player prop bet for tonight. Let’s dive in, and you can also check out our NBA picks for all of today’s big matchups.
Kristaps Porzingis (BOS) over 5.5 1st-quarter points (-120)

I really like this Kristaps Porzingis NBA player prop bet. Porzingis has hit this prop in 8 of his last 9 games and gets a beautiful matchup against Chicago here. The Bulls allow the 2nd-most points to the Center position and the 4th-most made threes to bigs. Porzingis has been opening games absolutely red hot and betting on this market helps us avoid this game potentially turning into a blowout. Jayson Tatum is a game-time decision, but I like this one regardless of his status. If Kristaps can stay out of foul trouble he should see 8+ minutes in the 1st quarter. If he remains as aggressive as he has been then he should improve his current run. I love this play the most across tonight’s huge slate.
