Eleven games of the 2023-24 NBA are on the program today. They all seem great for betting, with a couple of those looking ideal for NBA player props. Weโre now going to present you with those games, sharing our top prop picks along the way.
Bulls vs. 76ers
How to Watch
- When: Monday, December 18, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. ET
- Where: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Channel: NBA League
Game Preview
The Philadelphia 76ers are the NBAโs third defense with an average of 122.9 points scored per game. Their average at Wells Fargo Center in Philly is 125.1.
This evening, theyโre welcoming the Chicago Bulls, who are okay defensively with 113.6 points conceded per game. Their defensive numbers on the road arenโt that good, with 118.2 PPG.
The reason why this should worry Chicagoโs fans is that Phillyโs center Joel Embiid is in top form right now. Heโs the points leader of the 2023-24 NBA, scoring 34.2 points a game. We think itโs very likely heโll score at least as many points this evening.

Mavericks vs. Nuggets
How to Watch
- When: Monday, December 18, 2023, at 9:00 p.m. ET
- Where: Ball Arena, Denver, Colorado
- Channel: NBA TV
Game Preview
Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets and Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks are the two top NBA MVP favorites with odds of +210 and +430, respectively. Doncic is second on the list of the 2023-24 points leaders list with 32.7 PPG, with Jokic sitting in 12th place with 27.0 PPG.
However, Jokic and the Nuggets are playing on their turf this evening. At Ball Arena, theyโre 10-2 this season, with Jokic having 30.3 points average at this venue in the 2023-24 season.
So, the big question is can he score more points than Doncic in tonightโs game? Odds suggest otherwise, but we think heโs going to pull it off. He hasnโt done that in almost two years, but we think heโll do it tonight.
