NBA Props for Tuesday, Feb. 6: Kyrie is extra motivated

By Matt Wiesenfeld | Last updated 2/6/24

Mondays, right? Domantas Sabonis posted another triple-double but his points were actually lower than his rebounds (19) and assists (15). That is something I have never seen before (and it cost us). The only win on the day was with Raptors center Jakob Poeltl, who I was worried about when I saw the final score was a blowout.

Tonight we have seven games on the schedule including a fun one with Milwaukee at Phoenix if you want to stay up late.

NBA Props for Tuesday, Feb. 6

Kyrie Irving Over 25.5 Points (+100) Alt Line

Sometimes the narrative matters. I think Kyrie Irving is going to be extra motivated in Brooklyn tonight. He played for the first time in a couple of weeks last night, and with Luka Doncic questionable this evening, there might be some extra burden in the scoring department. Also, Brooklyn has no natural guard to stop him.

Giannis Antetokoumpo Over 1.5 Steals (+114)

I found a pricing error here. You can get this price on over 1.5 steals while 2+ is priced at +110 on the alt line. That is not the only reason to like this one though. The Bucks have played four games under new coach Doc Rivers and in two of those games Giannis has bested this total. He is being asked to be more impactful on defense and he had a season-high five steals two games ago.

Malik Beasley Over 12.5 Points (+150) Alt Line

This is another spot where pricing is everything. Beasley is a nice source of secondary scoring and his point total for tonight is 10.5 shaded to the over. At 12+ points he is +115 but at this number, you can get +150. That is definitely worth the risk in a game that should have lots of possession. He scored 16 in his last game too.

Chet Holmgren Over 3.5 Blocks & Steals (+110)

The lanky rookie is a defensive menace most nights. He has multiple blocks in four straight games and has bested this total in two of the last three. He had four blocks alone the last time he played against the Jazz and two blocks and a steal the time before that. The Jazz can get a little loose with the ball and he can capitalize.
