Sleeper.com NBA DFS Prop Picks - Over/Under Props for Wednesday, December 20

Welcome to our Sleeper NBA DFS prop picks for Wednesday, December 20. First off, an apology for the late-ness of this article and to be honest with you, forgot today was Wednesday. Regardless, the more information we have, the better. Sometimes waiting for availability announcements can seriously favor us. Wednesday’s 10-game slate follows Tuesday’s set of four games where six players scored 30 points or more, including a 34-point performance from Ja Morant in a spectacular return to action.

Sleeper offers some of the best and easiest-to-win NBA DFS games in the industry. Sleeper DFS works just like regular player prop betting -- there are no large-field tournaments to get lost in. You're not playing against other people; you're just playing against the projections. Here are some of our favorite NBA prop picks for Friday’s eight game slate.

Announcement: We have two awesome new Props Optimizers for the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NCAA! The PrizePicks Optimizer and Prop Bets Optimizer are both available in our new Props Premium Package, which includes exclusive access to RotoBaller's VIP Discord chat rooms for props and betting.

NBA DFS Props - Over/Under Picks for Wednesday, December 20

Christian Braun OVER 6.5 Points

Christian Braun was unleashed earlier this season and asked to contribute more in terms of scoring and pushing the issue on offense. It hasn’t had great results, but in terms of betting props and fantasy outlook, Braun’s improvement has been drastic. There aren’t any major injuries going on with the Nuggets to free him up tonight specifically, but the Raptors' bench unit is notoriously bad on defense.

He’s getting the minutes and Toronto doesn’t go down without a fight, but that doesn’t change the fact that they have no defensive anchors or defensive playmakers in their backcourt. If Gary Trent Jr. or Malachi Flynn are stuck with guarding Braun, it’ll be easy pickings.

Buddy Hield UNDER 19.5 Points + Rebounds

We already know Buddy Hield isn’t a strong rebounder and he seldomly scores 15 points. It’s always going to be possible given his quick trigger and streaky shooting, but it’s not like teams need their best effort from their best shooters against the Hornets. The Pacers know Hield can shoot and they won’t view this game as a chance to get him back on track.

Indiana is on a four-game losing streak, so they won’t take this game lightly, but Hield hasn’t exactly been consistent enough to rely on. If he’s not scoring, he’s not contributing, and if he’s not contributing, he’s not playing. He’ll get minutes, but the Pacers aren’t dead-set on making sure Hield gets the touches he needs.

Anthony Davis OVER 28.5 Points

The Bulls have been up and down all year and their most glaring weakness is the frontcourt defense. Nikola Vucevic has a shaky track record against Anthony Davis in his career and the older he gets, the worse he’s going to fare. Vucevic’s discipline keeps him in front of most of his opponents, but Davis is still going to get shots off.

Davis has strung together three consecutive 30-point games and facing the Bulls looks like an absolute cake walk. The only worry here is whether or not the basketball gods decide to rain on Davis’ parade and he shoots terribly from the field. Luckily for us, there aren’t many instances where Davis struggles to score against a big with similar strength and less athleticism.
