Today’s Free NBA Player Props

Every day during the season, our NBA betting experts will identify some of the best player prop bets available.

There are eight NBA games on Thursday’s schedule, including Spurs @ Mavericks and 76ers @ Lakers. Let’s dive into the top player props for today.

Jalen Johnson: Over 45.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-105) vs. Jazz

They say lightning doesn’t strike twice, but against a defense as porous as Utah’s, it might. Jalen Johnson’s best game of the season came against the Jazz earlier this year, notching 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists and seven steals over roughly 41 minutes.

Even if he doesn’t measure up to such a performance again this evening, I’m inclined to take the over at 45.5 PRA. Johnson is nearly averaging enough of each category to reach the over, and he’s been hot lately, logging back-to-back triple-doubles.

Nolan Traoré: Over 6.5 Points (-120) @ Magic

I’m willing to go out on a limb and say that Nolan Traoré will be the best of the five first-round picks the Nets made in the 2025 NBA Draft. His shot needs some work, but the 19-year-old possesses elite speed and finishing, and he’s a solid playmaker to boot.

I don’t love this matchup, but Traoré appears to be a regular starter now after cracking the lineup in four straight games. He’s surpassed this mark in three of the four, and on the season, he’s hit the over in nine out of 14 games in which he’s played at least 20 minutes.

Using the NBA Player Props Grid

From left to right, you’ll find sections for the prop, expected value, cover probability, bet rating, and the best line available. Let’s quickly break down what these mean.

• Prop: This is the suggested bet. It lists the player name, the prop, and the matchup, complete with date, time, and venue. 
• Expected Value: This is what the grid is sorted by. This number is the difference between the true probability of the event happening and the sportsbook’s odds. 
• Cover Probability: The likelihood of the player prop resulting in a win.
• Bet Rating: Our ranking of the value of the player prop. Five-star picks are the best and most valuable picks. 
• Best Line: The best odds currently available for the player prop. Our odds grid constantly updates to find the best NBA player prop betting lines. 

You’ll also find three dropdown menus above the grid. These allow you to sort by matchup, prop type, and bet rating, respectively. Use these to narrow down your search and find the best player prop available for your specified terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are lots of small details that go into NBA player prop betting. If you still have some questions, read our answers to some common FAQs below. 

What are PRA prop bets?

You might see a player prop abbreviated as PRA. This stands for points, rebounds, and assists and is a combination of the three. To determine whether or not you win this type of bet, you’ll need to add up the player’s points, rebounds, and assists and see if they went over or under the projected total. 

What happens if a player gets injured or can’t finish a game?

If a player is forced to exit a game early, sportsbooks will often void the pick, meaning it doesn’t count as a win or loss. Instead, you’ll simply get your wager returned to you. If the player hits the over on their prop before exiting the game, it will still be graded as a win. 

Do NBA player props count overtime?

Unless otherwise noted, NBA player props do include overtime. This can be good or bad depending on whether you bet the over or under on a player prop. 

If you bet the over and a player doesn’t hit the mark until overtime, it’ll still count as a win for you. However, if you bet the under and a player goes over that mark in overtime, it’ll still count as a loss even though they finished regulation with the under.
