Today’s Top NBA Player Props | Feb. 4

LeBron James Prop O/U 8.5 Assists 

The Los Angeles Lakers will square off against the New Orleans Pelicans early on Saturday evening. The Lakers have listed LeBron James as questionable with left ankle soreness, but if he plays, fading him on the player prop markets should yield a positive return.

James is averaging only 7.1 assists per game this year, so seeing him with a number this large raises red flags. NBA Bet Pro projects him for only 6.5 assists, much more in line with his usual production, which gives this play an expected win rate of 64%. This play offers the most value on the board, and bettors should subscribe to NBA Bet Pro to find other sharp plays.

Trae Young Prop O/U 10.5 Assists 

The Atlanta Hawks just took down the Utah Jazz last night, and they’ll face the Denver Nuggets on the late slate tonight. Young dished out only six assists in that contest and is averaging 9.9 per game, but the books have set this total all the way up at 10.5.

Young should dish out only 9.2 assists tonight, per NBA Bet Pro. That gives this play an expected win rate of 60%, better than the implied odds of 57.1% available at Caesars Sportsbook. This play is the best on the board tonight at Caesars, and readers yet to register at there can secure first-bet insurance of up to $1,250!

Bojan Bogdanovic Prop O/U 2.5 3-Pointers 

The Detroit Pistons will host the Phoenix Suns tonight. Although the season hasn’t gone as planned for Detroit, Bojan Bogdanovic has shown no signs of slowing down. The veteran wing is averaging 21.4 points and 2.5 3-pointers per game this year.

Although Bogdanovic could get moved before the trade deadline, bettors should consider backing him tonight. NBA Bet Pro has him sinking 2.9 3-pointers against the Suns, which gives this play an expected hit rate of 47%, far better than the implied odds of 43.5% available at DraftKings Sportsbook. New users at DraftKings can secure $200 in bonus bets after placing a $5 wager. Those in Ohio can access that deal via this link instead
