Best NBA Props for 1/8: Free Picks For Mavericks vs Jazz - Kyle Filipowski, Keyonte George, Anthony Davis
  • Kyle Filipowski went under Thursday’s 19.5 points and rebounds projection in seven straight games.
  • Utah sportsbooks favor Jazz guard Keyonte George to go over 6.5 assists at -125 odds.
  • Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis has -115 odds to go over 25.5 points.

SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Jazz host the Dallas Mavericks as 7.5-point underdogs on Thursday night. Here are the three best player props at legal NBA betting sites for the last game of the evening, starting with Kyle Filipowski.

Kyle Filipowski Points And Rebounds Prop

  • Over 19.5 Points and Rebounds -125
  • Under 19.5 Points and Rebounds -105

Utah’s second-year forward is in the midst of a cold streak, going under Thursday’s 19.5 total points and rebounds projection in seven straight games. He posted just two points in a season-low four minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday after starting 1/6 from the field.

Over the past month, Filipowski is averaging 8.7 points and 5.5 rebounds across 20.8 minutes in his last 13 games. Fade him and instead bet the over on teammate Keyonte George’s 6.5-assist line.

Keyonte George Assists Prop

  • Over 6.5 Assists -125
  • Under 6.5 Assists -105

George had 11 assists his last time on the floor against OKC and had 7+ assists in three of his last four games. He has benefited from being the main facilitator in this Jazz offense, as George averages the second-most minutes per game (34.6) behind Lauri Markannen. Bet the legal Utah sports betting over on George, and also take this Dallas Mavericks prop at -115 odds.

Best Mavs Player Prop: Anthony Davis Over 25.5 Points (-115)

The best player prop at Texas sports betting apps is Anthony Davis to clear his 25.5-point projection against the Jazz. There are -115 odds for Davis to score 26+ points, which he’s done in three of his last five games with 12+ minutes on the floor.

Anthony Davis Points Prop

  • Over 25.5 Points -115
  • Under 25.5 Points -115

Utah surrenders 127.1 points per game, the most in the NBA this season. They also allow the fifth-most points per game to big men this season at 24.18 points per game, making the -115 legal sports betting odds for AD’s over a solid wager.
