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 Cup games on Friday’s schedule, including 76ers @ Celtics and Lakers @ Grizzlies. Here’s what we’re going with today.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Over 15.5 Points (-106) @ Pacers

Alexander-Walker has had a strong start to the 2025-26 campaign, excelling with his new team. The 27-year-old is averaging 16.2 points over his first five games, and he’s scored 17 or more in four straight. That bodes well for his chances of hitting the over against a weak Indiana defense.

Atlanta will also be without Trae Young in tonight’s game, opening the door for Alexander-Walker to take on a larger role in the offense. He’s already notching 30 minutes per game, but he should see a decent uptick in usage with Young sidelined. Take the over at 15.5 points.

Kawhi Leonard: Under 27.5 Points + Assists (-105) vs. Pelicans

Tonight’s meeting between the Clippers and Pelicans has every reason to be a low-scoring game. Los Angeles plays at the NBA’s slowest pace and ranks 29th in scoring and third in points allowed per game. New Orleans has the league’s worst offense and plays at an equally slow pace.

With that in mind, unders are on the menu. I’m targeting Kawhi Leonard, who’s averaging 21.3 points and 3.0 assists per game, to go under 27.5 combined points and assists. He’s 2-2 against this line to begin the year.

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.
