There are nine NBA games on Thursday’s schedule, including Thunder @ Rockets, Knicks @ Warriors, and an afternoon showdown between the Magic and Grizzlies in Berlin. Let’s dive into the top player props for today.
Desmond Bane: Over 8.5 Rebounds + Assists (-115) vs. Grizzlies
Bane has been inconsistent this season, but when he hits, he really hits. The sixth-year guard is averaging 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game in his first season with the Magic, though he’s shooting a career-low 33.8% from 3-point range.
With that said, clearing this line shouldn’t be all that difficult against his former team. The Grizzlies play fast and, as a result, struggle to limit rebounding and scoring opportunities. Orlando is also without Jalen Suggs, opening the door for Bane to serve as more of a facilitator. I like the over at this fairly low line.
Julian Champagnie: Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (-110) vs. Bucks
Champagnie is quickly becoming one of San Antonio’s most important rotation players. The fourth-year wing has stepped up tremendously in the absence of Devin Vassell, averaging 17.3 points and 8.8 rebounds over 33 minutes per game. During that stretch, he’s drained over 41% of his 3-point attempts.
Champagnie has only failed to clear this mark twice in his last eight games, finishing with 17 and 19 combined points and rebounds in the misses. He seemingly has a solid chance of getting back on track against Milwaukee, which has struggled to defend the glass and the perimeter.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
