Best NBA Player Prop Bets & Expert Betting Picks Tonight

With OddsShopper, finding the best NBA betting player props is fast and simple. All users have to do is filter the prop selections, sort the page and find the best pick to bet. The process is extremely quick and highly effective. Try out the tool for yourself tonight with the three featured prop bets below!

Terrence Ross Under 10.5 Points (-115, DraftKings)

Having been usurped by rookie Franz Wagner on the Orlando Magic depth chart, Terrence Ross has seen drastic differences in his playing time recently. Ross got hot from three-point range in Orlando’s most recent contest on Friday, knocking down four of six triples for 21 points in 24 minutes of action. This was his second game back after a one-game absence for a back injury. However, it was also the first time since January 14th that Ross scored in double figures. One would have to back further than that to find the last time he topped tonight’s NBA player props line of 10.5 points.

Ross’ streaking shooting has made it tough to bet on him throughout his career. Based on the matchup tonight against the Dallas Mavericks, one would presumably expect Ross to follow up Friday’s boom effort with a bust. The Mavs rank fifth in defensive efficiency this season and are also fifth in opponent three-point shooting percentage. Taking the difficult matchup and inconsistent playing time into consideration, Awesemo only projects Ross to score 8.85 points tonight. A wager to the under at optimal -115 odds yields a 17% ROI. OddsShopper also shows that the best price is up to 10 cents lower than others in the NBA betting market.

Mikal Bridges Under 2.5 Assists (+100, PointsBet)

Both the Phoenix Suns and the opposing San Antonio Spurs are set to be shorthanded in tonight’s matchup. For the Suns, the backcourt has been forced to carry the load recently as each of Deandre Ayton, Jae Crowder and JaVale McGee have been in and out of the lineup. Mikal Bridges has topped 40 minutes on the floor in each of the last two contests. While he had an excellent shooting performance on Friday and finished with 18 points, Bridges failed to post more than two assists in either of those games. He comes into Sunday averaging only 2.1 per game, nearly half an assist less than the NBA player props total of 2.5.

Given that Bridges plays on the same team as the best passer in the NBA, Chris Paul, it goes without saying that he rarely takes on a major playmaking role. OddsShopper does not expect that to be any different tonight, projecting Bridges for 2.19 assists, a mark that falls right in line with his per-game average. The best part for bettors is that OddsShopper lists a favorable +100 price available on the under. This line differs greatly from the majority of the NBA betting market which is actually juiced in that direction. The even-money odds help boost the expected ROI for this prediction up to 27%.

Hassan Whiteside Over 10.5 Rebounds (-118, FanDuel)

With the Utah Jazz already ruling out star center Rudy Gobert for Sunday night’s matchup, bettors can safely assume Hassan Whiteside will receive ample playing time. With this in mind, OddsShopper is inclined to bet the over on Whiteside’s NBA player props rebounding total of 10.5. In three games filling in for Gobert since making his own return to the lineup, Whiteside has finished with nine, 11 and eight rebounds, respectively. While only one of those performances was enough to exceed tonight’s betting prop, it is worth pointing out that all three games came against opponents who are among the top-7 teams in Rebound Rate this season.

Sunday evening’s contest will see the Jazz take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Unlike the previous opponents, the Wolves only rank 16th in Rebound Rate. Thus, Whiteside figures to have a much more favorable matchup when it comes to working the glass. OddsShopper shows that the NBA betting market is juiced to the over on this prop bet. Even though some extra juice is required to bet the best odds of -118, it pales in comparison to other prices that reach as high as -135. Meanwhile, Awesemo’s projections peg Whiteside for 12.75 boards, creating a massive statistical edge on this prediction. Along with a 73% win probability, this over wager is assigned a massive 34% expected ROI.
