Best Point Guard Bet: Points vs Bucks

Chasing points props? Look no further than the Milwaukee Bucks' leaky backcourt. No other squad is allowing as many points per game as Milwaukee.

Keep the Bucks in mind for betting points guards to hit double and even triple-doubles.

Other teams to keep an eye on when betting point guard props are the Cleveland Cavaliers, Washington Wizards and New Orleans Pelicans. All three teams are allowing 25+ points, 10+ assists, and 7+ rebounds to opposing floor generals so far this season.

Best Shooting Guard Bet: Double-Double vs Warriors

Golden State has struggled to guard opposing shooting guards in the early parts of this season.

For those looking to capitalize on the popular double-double player prop, the Dubs are allowing upward of 10 boards per game.

Best Small Forward Bet: Points, Rebounds, vs Nets

Take your pick on which stat to target for small forwards against the Brooklyn Nets. The points market is booming, as no other squad allows more buckets to small forwards.

Beyond that, the Nets are vulnerable to rebounds per game. Make these bets while they're hot!

Best Power Forward Bet: Points & Rebounds vs Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers lack of size has come back to haunt them so far this season. After trading a number of their big wings (Marcus Morris, Robert Covington, Nicolas Batum) in the James Harden trade, Ty Lue's team has been decimated by opposing power forwards. Los Angeles has given up nearly 30 points and 13 rebounds to power forwards so far.

Look for this trend to continue as the Clippers have the 6-foot-7 Kawhi Leonard and 6-foot-5 PJ Tucker guarding opposing 4s. Teams with twin towers inside, like the Lakers, Timberwolves, Cavaliers, and Celtics could find plenty of room to operate.

The Clips aren't the worst, though, as the Spurs, Hawks, and Suns are pretty vulnerable, too.
