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 three NBA games on Thursday’s schedule, including Raptors @ Cavaliers and Pacers @ Suns. Let’s dive into the top player props for today.

Andrew Nembhard: Over 16.5 Points (-104) @ Suns

Indiana’s injuries are piling up, which is forcing several players to take on larger roles. Pascal Siakam remains the No. 1 option on offense, but Andrew Nembhard is making a strong claim to be the No. 2. Since returning from a seven-game absence, he’s averaged 20.3 points and 7.3 assists in three outings.

This Suns defense is fairly average, and Nembhard is attempting close to 20 shots per game since his return. Even if he struggles with his efficiency, he should be able to get over the hump and score at least 17 points. He’s done so in two of his last three.

Dyson Daniels: Over 12.5 Assists + Rebounds (-130) @ Jazz

Daniels isn’t scoring at as high of a rate as he was in 2024-25, but he’s still filling up the stat sheet. The 22-year-old is averaging 5.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists over his first 12 games, and he’s taken on even more priority as a playmaker with Trae Young sidelined.

Daniels has only exceeded this line five times this season, but that includes three of his last four games. He should have little issue setting his teammates up for success against a Utah defense that ranks 25th in opponent points per game.

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.
