3 Must Bet Props Tonight In The NFL, NBA & NHL

A massive day of sports is upon us tonight as the NFL kicks off Week 8 with Thursday Night football, a big slate in the NHL & the NBA is back in full swing with 4 games tonight and some primetime matchups.

With all of the major leagues being back, I have locked in my 3 favorite player props in EACH league tonight. Felt like the perfect night to have action in all 3 leagues so let’s dive in to my favorite plays of the evening!

UNITS TRACKER (Since September 1st)

ARTICLE RESULTS: 11-10 (+0.8u)

NBA Prop Of The Night: Payton Pritchard o6.5 Rebounds + Assists (+100) Available At BetOnline

This is my first 2 unit play of the year in the NBA because this line just feels wrong and mispriced so let’s capitalize.

Pritchard is not in the starting five for the defensing champion Celtics, but usually sees anywhere from 20-30 minutes per game as the back up point guard.

In the first game of the season, Pritchard played 25 minutes against the Knicks, grabbing 4 rebounds and dishing out 4 assists, cashing his RA line with ease.

In this matchup tonight against the Washington Wizards, we could see even more of the Celtics backup PG. The Celtics are 13.5 point favorites right now and I could see this game being a 20+ point Celtics win on the road. That should mean even more minutes for Pritchard running the second unit for the C’s in the 4th quarter if this game does indeed get out of hand.

In the 4 matchups with the Wizards last season, Pritchard hit his RA against Washington in all 4 games, with 13, 7, 18 & 21 RA in those outings.

I expect Pritchard to see the floor for 25+ minutes and when he saw 25+ minutes last season, he hit this RA number in 24 of 30 games, good for 80%!

If you are going to give me a prop that hits at 80% for plus money, I am going to take that all day long. Love this line for Pritchard and hope we can get a solid 2 units to start the night!

NHL Prop Of The Night: Victor Hedman o2.5 Shots On Goal (-112) Available At BetOnline

We have a huge slate on the NHL tonight and I am loving the value we are finding on the big D man for the Tampa Bay Lightning at home against the Minnesota Wild.

Hedman has been FIRING to start the season for the Bolts, especially the past 3 games. He has 3+ SOGs in 4 of 6 games to start the season and in 4 straight.

In the last 3, he has 9 attempts in every game, with 5 3 and 6 Shots on target in those games respectfully. Hedman is a focal point on the first Power Play unit for the Lightning and at home tonight against the Minnesota Wild, who are bottom 10 in the NHL in shots allowed per game, I expect Victor to continue ripping the puck on the net.

3+ for a nice -112 value is a steal given the shot volume. We take those all day long and twice on Thursdays.

4+ Shots is +205, which is amazing value as well. Hedman has 4+ in 2 of his last 3 outings and had 4 Shots on target in his last game last season against the Wild. I will be sprinkling on that as well.

NFL Prop Of The Night: Matthew Stafford o239.5 Passing Yards (-115) Available At BetOnline

Let’s finish off with Matthew Stafford and the Rams taking on the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night Football and boy do I love this prop.

Stafford is one of the most underrated passers in the NFL and tonight, on primetime, I think he comes out and absolutely deals.

The Vikings are the 3rd worst passing defense in the NFL, allowing over 260.3 yards per game through the air. Stafford has not been able to get as much going through the air the past few weeks, but tonight he is getting back WRs Cooper Kupp and Puca Nacua to bolster the pass attack.

Both star Wideouts haven’t been on the field together since week 1, and Stafford went for a cool 317 passing yards in that game. With Nacua and Kupp to throw to, Stafford has gone over his passing yards line in 7 straight games, dating back to last season.

7 straight.

Additionally, Stafford has 300+ passing yards in 4 straight with Kupp and Nacua starting. 300+ is +281, and I will be sprinting that as well for 0.25u.
