Pick rationale

Analysis & key factors

  • We’ve got some interesting NBA player props for you for Thursday, December 21.
  • Rudy Gobert to make 10+ rebounds against the banged-up Lakers looks like a good prop bet.
  • Jerami Grant to score 25+ points against the league’s second-worst defense is another good bet.

Eight games of the 2023-24 NBA are on the program today, including a couple of real bangers. Arguably the biggest game of the day is L.A. Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, which will see two players with 12.0+ rebounds average lock horns with each other – Anthony Davis and Rudy Gobert.

Another interesting game scheduled for Thursday, December 21, is the one taking place in Portland where Jerami Grant will try to improve his numbers against one of the league’s worst defenses.


Lakers vs. Timberwolves

How to Watch

  • When: Thursday, December 21, 2023, at 9:00 p.m. ET
  • Where: Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota                                  
  • Channel: NBA TV

Game Preview

Who’s better in the air, Anthony Davis or Rudy Gobert? We think both of these guys will do great when it comes to rebounds. However, Davis is reportedly still struggling with an ankle injury, which is why our top prop pick for this game is Gobert.

He’s been in great form, and he’ll be playing against the Lakers who might miss a couple of great jumpers. Apart from Davis, the boys from Los Angeles could also miss LeBron James and a few others.

NBA Player PropOdds
Rudy Gobert 10+ Rebounds

Wizards vs. Trail Blazers

How to Watch

  • When: Thursday, December 21, 2023, at 10:00 p.m. ET
  • Where: Moda Center at the Rose Quarter, Portland, Oregon                                                         
  • Channel: NBA League Pass

Game Preview

The Washington Wizards are allowing 126.8 points per game, which makes their defense second from behind in the 2023-24 NBA. What this means is that the Portland Trail Blazers have a great opportunity to up their scoring average on their turf this evening.

Their most prolific scorer is Jerami Grant with a 22.7 PPG. However, the 29-year-old small forward scored more than that in only two of his last five games. You can be 100% certain that he’d love to do better this time. He’s gonna be motivated against Washington and we’re certain that his hard work will pay off.

NBA Player PropOdds
Jerami Grant 23+ Points
