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 12 NBA games on Thursday’s schedule, including Raptors @ Bucks and Magic @ Nuggets. Let’s dive into the top player props for today.

Kris Dunn: Over 7.5 Points (-102) @ Thunder

This is a rare smash spot for Dunn. The 31-year-old is poised to take on a larger role in the offense with James Harden sidelined, making this 7.5-point line look especially small. Dunn is also already averaging 8.1 points per game this season, and he’s coming off a 17-point outing in a loss to the Grizzlies.

Dunn has surpassed this line in 14 out of 26 appearances this season, and while he likely won’t find himself as open for good looks without Harden on the floor, his shot volume should increase. This is also a stout Thunder defense, but Harden’s shot volume has to trickle down somewhere.

Cooper Flagg: Over 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-125) vs. Pistons

It took a bit longer than anticipated, but Flagg has taken his throne atop this year’s rookie class. The 18-year-old forward is averaging 21.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists over his last 10 games, including a 42-point showing in his most recent outing.

Detroit’s defense is threatening, but it hasn’t been quite as good on the road, and it sometimes struggles against opposing wings. In any case, this is Flagg’s team now, and if his recent shot volume is indicative of what’s to come, he should be good for around 20 points every night.

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.
