With only four games on the docket tonight, let’s dig into our top prop plays over on Underdog Fantasy! 

What we love about the Underdog NBA is the board they offer for one. You can find them in the Pick’em section. They have Over/Under contests & Rival contests. BOTH are great!

Julius Randle OVER 32.5 points+rebounds+assists

What is really doing it for me is Mitchell Robinson being ruled out. Nerlens Noel is a fine defender and rebounder, but Robinson sucks up rebounds by the dozens when he’s out there.

In five of the last seven games Robinson played in, he grabbed eight or more rebounds. In three games he’s played without Robinson this year, Randle has scored 30+ actual points in two of them and has 16 boards in the other, setting himself up well for the over here.

Jonas Valanciunas OVER 13.5 rebounds


The big man checks into this game in a BIG spot and even though 13.5 rebounds seems like a lot, Vegas likes the OVER as it checks in as a -135 favorite.

Valanciunas has hit this mark twice in the last four games and now the Pelicans are without Brandon Ingram, someone averaging 6.1 RPG this year. Since the first of the month, Indiana is 22nd in rebounding and in a meeting against the Pacers earlier this year, JoVal grabbed 13 rebounds in just 23 minutes.

The offense should flow through Valanciunas and he’ll have plenty of opportunities to get his own putbacks over the smaller Bitadze and should patrol the pain and be a vacuum for all the rebounds on missed shots.

Goga Bitadze OVER 13.5 points

*Update here - play was 12.5 when I started writing about it, and moved to 13.5. I still like it, but not as much if Caris LeVert ends up playing*

This is one of my favorite plays on the board as the Pacers are without, well, everyone. Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner and Malcolm Brogdon are all out and Caris LeVert is questionable. 

Bitadze has started each of the last two games and has topped 30 minutes in each, despite being ejected in one of them. In BOTH games, he’s scored 13+ points and in three of the last four games, where he’s played 25+ minutes, he’s scored 13+. It’s not a big sample and I understand that, but for Indiana right now, his offense is needed. 

NOW, I’ll deliver three plays, because if LeVert plays, this is a little more uncomfortable and not something you have to tail. For the record, the OVER is a huge -130 favorite on DK Sportsbook as of this writing.
