The NBA starts off the week in style with nine games on the schedule Monday. With so many wagers to wade through, let’s get right down to business and highlight three of them that could prove to be profitable.
Please note that all NBA odds and lines are current as of 11:00 a.m. ET on October 25.

NBA Prop Bets of the Day: Best Basketball Props Today 10/25/21
Los Angeles Clippers vs Portland Trail Blazers (10:30 p.m. ET)
Paul George: Over 2.5 Made Three-Pointers (-160) at BetMGM
Wager: 1 unit
With Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, Paul George is going to be busy. In the Clippers’ first two games, he attempted 23 and 25 shots, respectively. In total, 23 of them came from behind the arc.
He made exactly five of them in both games, so with his increased usage rate, the Over here is appealing against a Trail Blazers team that has played at the fifth-fastest pace in the league so far. Given the circumstances, there’s good reason to make this your NBA bet of the day.

New Orleans Pelicans at Minnesota Timberwolves (8:00 p.m. ET)
Jonas Valančiūnas: Over 28.5 Points + Rebounds (-120) at BetMGM
Wager: 1 unit
Jonas Valančiūnas has never averaged more than 28 minutes per game in his career. He averaged exactly that many last season, when he finished with averages of 17.1 points and 12.5 rebounds.
Now a member of the Pelicans, they need him to play a lot with Zion Williamson (foot) out. That helped him log at least 30 minutes in each of their first three games.
The Pelicans just played the Timberwolves on Saturday and Valančiūnas dominated to the tune of 20 points and 17 rebounds. Karl-Anthony Towns is not a very good defensive big man, so Valančiūnas could be in line for another big stat line in their rematch.
Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks (7:00 p.m. ET)
Malcolm Brogdon: Over 33.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110) at BetMGM
Wager: 1 unit
With depth issues plaguing the Pacers, Malcolm Brogdon has logged at least 40 minutes in all three of their games. That helped him record at least 36 combined points, rebounds and assists in each contest.
With Jrue Holiday (ankle) listed as doubtful, the Bucks will likely be without their best on-ball defender, which helps Brogdon’s chances of hitting the Over here.
