Best NBA prop bets today for Mavericks vs. Clippers (How to bet Kyrie Irving)

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is expected to make his debut for the team against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.

So, how do we bet on Kyrie in the prop market?

Well, with Luka Doncic out of the lineup for Dallas with a heel injury, Irving should immediately assume the No. 1 duties in the offense.

He’s one of my favorite picks for this game, and I have a value rebounding prop since Dallas has struggled to clear the glass this season.

Let’s break them down:

Mavericks vs. Clippers best NBA prop bets today

  • Kyrie Irving OVER 27.5 Points
  • Ivica Zubac OVER 10.5 Rebounds

Kyrie Irving OVER 27.5 Points

Doncic sitting out means we have to wait to see how he and Irving mesh, but I think Kyrie has a big game against Los Angeles tonight.

The Clippers are No. 2 in offense over their last 10 games, but they are just 18th in defensive rating over that stretch.

Dallas upset the Utah Jazz on Monday without Doncic and Irving, and Jaden Hardy and Josh Green scored 29 apiece in that game.

If Kyrie sees anywhere near Doncic’s usage on offense in this game, he’s going to clear 27.5 points rather easily. Irving had cleared this number in six of his final eight games in Brooklyn.

Ivica Zubac OVER 10.5 Rebounds

Los Angeles Clippers big man Ivica Zubac has been dominant on the glass as of late, picking up 12 or more boards in four straight games.

Now, he’s at even money to clear 10.5 boards against Dallas?

This is a huge value since the Mavericks rank dead last in the NBA in rebounding percentage this season.

Zubac isn’t a double-double machine, but he’s still averaging 10.3 boards per game this season.

I’ll gladly take the OVER for him here with Doncic out, since he is one of Dallas’ best rebounders.
