Today's PrizePicks NBA DFS prop picks for Friday, June 9th, 2023 by Jake King-Finnen. Use his NBA over/under props recommendations to win money on PrizePicks.
Welcome to our PrizePicks NBA DFS prop picks for June 9, 2023. The Denver Nuggets shocked the NBA Universe by stealing Game 3. Miami expected home-court advantage to carry them to a win and forgot that the players are the ones that score points and fans just react. The Nuggets play again in Miami for Game 4 of the Finals and RotoBaller selected three over/under props from the PrizePicks app.
The Finals offer a ton of variance for us to buy into, but be wary that basketball is one of the most unpredictable sports for most gamblers. Gabe Vincent getting called for three fouls early or a known stud like Jamal Murray having a bad night is just a part of the game. Remember to bet with your head.
Announcement: We have two awesome new Props Optimizers for MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and NCAA! The PrizePicks Optimizer and Prop Bets Optimizer are both available in our new Props Premium Package, which includes exclusive access to RotoBaller's VIP Discord chat rooms for props and betting.

PrizePicks NBA Over/Under Props for June 9
Nikola Jokic MORE 10.5 Defensive Rebounds
PrizePicks is offering fun, different angles to attack props tonight and when something seems too good to be true, it usually is. That being said, 18 of Nikola Jokic’ 21 total-rebounds were on the defensive end, making this an easy target for tonight.
There are too many reasons why you should take the over here and outside of an anomaly game where Bam Adebayo miraculously shuts down Jokic, it’s not likely he will be able to keep him from getting defensive rebounds.
Any game plan to stop Jokic rarely works out since he brings so much to the table, so even if he does have an off-night, this is one aspect of his game that should remain consistent.
Jimmy Butler MORE 4.5 Points in Crunch Time
When the Heat were still within striking distance last game, Jimmy Butler was the one with the ball in his hands. A few key misses from Miami turned a five-point deficit to 10-points to 15-points and at that point Butler was forced to start chucking up shots.
Believe it or not, that’s a positive sign seeing that Miami shouldn’t struggle two games in a row at home and Butler will do most of his work in the fourth quarter if this remains even somewhat close.
Jokic is another great option here, but if you are taking his rebound prop instead then Butler is option 1B.
Michael Porter Jr. LESS 1.5 FG Made in First 3 Attempts
Not to pile more horses onto an already beaten horse, but when it rains it pours and if I could squeeze another idiom about Michael Porter Jr. playing badly and that trend continuing, I would.
The funniest part about this bet is that even though there is a possibility Porter Jr. turns it around, the chances the Nuggets keep him in the starting lineup and let him play himself out of it is significantly more probable.
As stated before, not to keep piling on but there aren’t many times where we can call a catastrophic collapse predictable. Across the 80 or so minutes played this series, after 31 attempted shots, Porter Jr. has scored 21 points on only eight made field goals.
