One of the closest NBA games on Wednesday is expected to be between the Dallas Mavericks and the Toronto Raptors, with the Raps on the short side at home.
Dallas has a good record against the spread as a road favorite (11-3), but this game may be difficult to predict as the teams are entering their second night of back-to-back games. do not have.
So why not look elsewhere to find your best bet?
There are two prop bets I'm looking at for this game, one of which is Luka Doncic's birthday.
Additionally, Scottie Barnes may be an underrated rebounder for this Dallas frontcourt. Let's take a closer look at each of these options.

Scottie Barnes over 7.5 rebounds
Dating back to before the All-Star break, Scottie Barnes had eight or more rebounds in six of his last seven games.
During that span, he averaged an impressive 10.0 boards and 15.6 rebound chances per game. Dallas ranks 28th in the league in rebounding percentage and is one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA, so they are well-prepared for tonight's matchup.
Barnes is averaging 8.2 rebounds per game this season, so I wouldn't mind hitting his season average against this weak Dallas frontcourt.
Luka Doncic OVER 3.5 3-point shooting success
As Luka Doncic fills out the stat sheet night after night, there are many ways to consider betting on him, but my favorite on Wednesday is the 3-point market.
Luka is set to make 3.5 3-pointers, but he has hit that total in 8 of his last 10 games, averaging 10 made 3-pointers and 3-pointers per game during that span. It was 4.2 pieces.
Doncic is shooting a career-high 38.4 percent from 3 this season, which is impressive considering how many shots he takes from deep per game (10.3 this season).
Toronto doesn't defend the three-ball very well, ranking 19th in the league in both opponent 3-point shots per game and opponent 3-point percentage. I think Doncic had a little bit of birthday magic and he hit four triples in four straight games.
