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 Rockets @ 76ers and Lakers @ Clippers. Let’s dive into the top player props for today.

Ivica Zubac: Over 25.5 Points + Rebounds (-105) vs. Lakers

Zubac has long been one of the NBA’s more underrated centers, but his play over the last two seasons has finally helped him attract some national attention. His numbers have taken a slight hit this year, but he enters tonight’s action averaging 14.8 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.

Zubac has yet to clear this line against his former team in two matchups this season, but there’s little doubt that he’s capable. He’s double-doubled in 21 out of 36 starts and has gone for as many as 51 combined points and rebounds in a single game. I’m on the over at -105.

Victor Wembanyama: Over 26.5 Points (-110) @ Jazz

Wembanyama has made light work of the lowly Jazz defense this season, scoring at least 32 points in both matchups despite playing no more than 28 minutes in either game. He’s accomplished the feat in different ways, too, once going 7-for-12 on triples and 12-for-17 on twos in the other.

One look at Utah’s defensive rankings tells the story. This group ranks last league-wide in opponent field goal percentage, 3-point makes and attempts, 2-point percentage, and assists. Opponents are having field days against the Jazz, and the Spurs are no exception. Wemby should have little trouble reaching 27 points.

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.
