NBA Player Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Wednesday (4/3)

by |

Welcome to a nine-game Friday slate! I always love this level of slate because it offers the perfect level of value without oversaturation.

As always, monitor injury news and lineup announcements. The best way to stay sharp regarding NBA player props is to stay on top of the news. The second best way is to shop around at different books. Player props rarely have identical odds across platforms, so make sure you're getting the best value.

What a wonderful time of year, as playoff races are heating up. Let's get into it and find some winners heading into the weekend.

Wednesday’s Best NBA Player Props

Last Time: 2-1 | Season: 114-87

Jordan Poole Under 20.5 Points (-106 via BetRivers Sportsbook)

Is there a more easy bet to follow than unders for Jordan Poole? It was nice of him to show up with a 38-point outing last week, but on a back-to-back after averaging under 17 points a game on the season, it's surprising to see this number where it is. The Lakers’ defense is solid and capable of holding off Washington and it's a bit of a pace-down spot. To get this prop at near-even odds is a steal. He's projected closer to his season averages, and I will back that as well.    

Zion Williamson Under 32.5 Pts + Ast (-125 via DraftKings Sportsbook)

Another easy click is for Zion Williamson to go under his points and assists on the day. I know it's never fun to bet unders, especially for Williamson, but he's projected around 27 by the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet and is tagged as one of the best plays of the day. I simply cannot doubt that. Orlando's defense ranks second on the year in efficiency and the point total in this game is set around 208. There is simply not enough scoring to go around for the Duke product to reach his totals here. 

Darius Garland Over 14.5 Points (-105 via BetMGM)

For an easy over bet to even out the playing field, Darius Garland is a player who should score tonight in Phoenix. The Suns are a big pace-up spot, and with Donovan Mitchell dealing with his knee management and Isaac Okoro questionable for tonight, I expect Cleveland to lean a bit more on Garland to perform. The Suns have allowed over 25 points a game to opposing point guards and while I don't expect him to reach that number tonight, it is the seventh-most points for opposing PGs in the league. Garland is in a prime spot to "pop off," as the youngins say.

Mikal Bridges Over 18.5 Points (-105 via DraftKings Sportsbook)

The final play here is an easy "who's playing Indiana tonight" and locking in some overs. The Pacers are the second-fastest team in the league, a huge pace-up spot from Brooklyn's 22nd ranking. In a simple game of opportunity, Bridges will get more possessions to score. He's already averaged 20 points a game on the season and has stayed consistent with over 18 points a game over his last seven efforts. This is another easy click for me. 

Bonus Systems Pick!

Evan Mobley Over 17.5 Points + Assists (-105)

This one comes to us from our new Betting Systems tool, available in the iOS and Android versions of the free BettingPros mobile app. Mobley’s cashed this prop in 80% of Cleveland’s away games this season, with a 3-1 record to the over in his last 4 road games. In his last game against the Suns, the former USC Trojan smashed this line with 20 points + assists. Let’s roll with the winning Systems (+9u this season) and our Prop Bet Cheat Sheet projection tonight.
