December 7th NBA Props – Best Player Prop Bets for Nets vs Mavericks, Celtics vs Lakers

• A small but powerful three-game NBA slate is what’s on tap for bettors Tuesday, December 7, 2021
• A great way to get in on the action are NBA player props which are still in play even on the small slates
• See below to find out some of the best player props to bet on tonight

We’ve only got three NBA games on tap tonight but that won’t be an issue for bettors. A gambler’s goal is always to turn a little into a lot and that is exactly what will happen tonight. I’m not worried one bit about the amount of action.

The good news is, two of the three games are nationally televised so we have that working in our favor. At 7:30pm ET we’re getting the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks on TNT which is beautiful. After that, we’ll be shipped out to the west coast to see the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers on the same channel. It’s a set it and forget it night on our televisions people. Not too shabby.

There are more unforeseen roster changes in the NBA than any other sport. Because of that, many books are reluctant to post player prop lines too early in the day. For that reason, not all of the teams in action tonight are included in the table below. Scroll down to see the lines that are available and a couple of best bets.

Be Smart Tonight

Marcus Smart is one of the most underrated players in the NBA today. He’s a glue guy that can do a little bit of everything. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will always get the credit and blame for what the Boston Celtics do, but Smart has a lot to do with it too.

He is an absolute beast on the court. Just ask Rudy Gobert.

Smart is a fun guy to bet in the points market since he averages 11.3 points per game but usually goes way over or way under. He’s a guy that will get you 15+ or six. But over his last six games, he’s been more or a 15+ type as he’s scored at least 15 points in four of those games.

Tonight, Smart and the Celtics get the Los Angeles Lakers who play at the fastest pace in the NBA. The first time Smart saw the Lakers he dropped 22 on them. It’s true that Jaylen Brown was out for that game but even if he does suit up tonight, I’m confident we’ll see Smart taking shots. He’s gone over 11.5 points in three of the last four games he’s played with Brown. This feels like a pretty low bar for Smart to get over.

• The Pick: Marcus Smart Over 11.5 points (-114)

Bembry Can Get Eight

I’ve been watching the Nets and watching the Nets waiting to play a DeAndre’ Bembry points prop and I think tonight is the night. It’s not every day we get to take a guy’s point total that’s less than eight for plus money. Recently, Bembry has shown that he can be trusted with bettors cash.

Even Steve Nash says he’s getting better.

🎙 @SteveNash on DeAndre' Bembry: "Really proud of his effort and he's getting better.”

At the end of the day, Bembry is going to take about five to seven shot attempts tonight. We only need him to hit four of them. Almost 73% of his points come in the paint so we could easily get home on four dunks. So far this season, only one team in the NBA has gives up more points in the paint at home than the Mavericks so we’re good there. This isn’t crazy and it’s coming at a good price.

• The Pick: DeAndre Bembry Over 7.5 points (+110)
