Saturday's Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Myles Turner Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-140)
The Pacers did not play well at the start of the year. However, they made adjustments and revived their season. They are 11-3 in their last 14 games, and the offense averages 119.5 points per game, which is fifth since December 29th.
They face Atlanta tonight, who looked great a few weeks ago but has plummeted recently, losing seven straight games. They just received terrible news that Jalen Johnson tore his labrum and will miss the remainder of the season.
The Hawks are a fast-paced offense, but they struggle on defense. Myles Turner isn't a traditional center because he will handle the ball on the perimeter and shoot from three. He's gone over this prop in an astonishing 60% of his games this season and two of his last three games against Atlanta.
Jalen Green Over 3.5 Assists (+105)
The Rockets are proving to be a force this season with an impressive five-game stretch. They have beat the Cavaliers twice, the Celtics and the Hawks, and lost by just one point to the Grizzlies.
This will be their lone home game before a four-game road trip. The Nets will finish near the bottom of the league and are coming off a seven-game losing streak with a win against the Hornets. Brooklyn is 21st in assists allowed per game, which could benefit a few players in this game. Jalen Green has gone over his assist prop in 10 of his last games. This is a low total against a team near the bottom in assists allowed.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 34.5 Points (-105)
The Thunder have the best record, but they recently suffered a couple of losses. However, they have only had two losses in a three-game stretch for the third time this season.
They are meeting up with the Kings tonight, who are in turmoil as trade rumors surround the team. The Thunder are not the team you want to face when you're in that situation. You also do not want to see Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who leads the league with 32.5 points per game and is in the MVP conversation. He’s been on an unbelievable run by scoring 30+ points in four straight, which includes two 50+ point performances.
