NBA Prop Bets for Today: Best NBA Props

Deni Avdija Under 6.5 Assists (+108)

Trail Blazers at Jazz — 3:00 p.m. ET

Deni Avdija has taken on a massive offensive role for the Portland Trail Blazers, but the assists number is a little high for me.

Avdija is averaging 6.5 assists through four games, so we're essentially betting against him exceeding his current season average. He's recorded 4, 6, 9 and 7 assists so far, going over this number in just two of four games.

Avdija is averaging 15.8 field-goal attempts and 31.8 minutes per game, giving him plenty of offensive responsibility, but the Utah Jazz rank sixth in the NBA in defensive-rebound percentage, which could limit the extra possessions and transition opportunities that help generate assists. Utah is also surrendering just 2.7 assists per game to SFs in the early going.

With the under at plus money and the line sitting directly at Avdija's season average, I'll take the under.

Donovan Mitchell Over 24.5 Points (+100)

Cavaliers at Bucks — 8:00 p.m. ET

I'm backing Donovan Mitchell to go over 24.5 points against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Mitchell has averaged 24.2 points through the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ first five games, but the matchup gives him a strong opportunity to get beyond that number. He's averaging 17.4 field-goal attempts and 6.6 three-point attempts per game while shooting 47.1% from the field this season.

More importantly, Mitchell has scored at least 20 points in four of his five games this season. He's coming off a 22-point performance against Atlanta, but before that, he posted 26 points against Minnesota and 32 versus Philadelphia.

The opponent is the biggest reason to like this over. Milwaukee has allowed 124.2 points per game through five contests, which ranks near the bottom of the league. Mitchell also averaged 26.7 points in his three meetings with Milwaukee last season.

This is a good spot for Cleveland's primary scoring option to get back above his season average. At 24.5, we don't need a massive Mitchell scoring performance for this prop to hit.

NBA Player Prop Bets FAQ

What are NBA player prop bets?

NBA player prop bets are wagers on specific statistical outcomes for individual players during a game — independent of which team wins or loses. You might bet on how many points a star guard scores, whether a big man grabs 10 or more rebounds, or how many assists a point guard dishes out.

What types of NBA player props are available?

FanDuel offers an extensive menu of NBA props. The most common categories include:

• Points — over/under on a player's scoring total
• Rebounds — over/under on total boards (offensive + defensive)
• Assists — over/under on dimes dished
• Three-pointers made — over/under on made threes
• Points + rebounds + assists (PRA) — combined stat total for those three stats
• Double-double or triple-double — yes/no prop on achieving the milestone

How do NBA player prop odds work?

NBA props use the standard American (moneyline) odds format. A negative number indicates how much you must wager to profit $100, while a positive number shows the profit on a $100 bet.

• -115 odds — bet $115 to win $100
• +115 odds — bet $100 to win $115
• -200 odds — bet $200 to win $100

What is a points prop bet in the NBA?

A points prop is a bet on whether a specific player will score over or under a set total. For example, a line might read: LeBron James — Points — Over 24.5 (-110).

Key factors to research before betting points props include the player's recent scoring form, the opposing team's defensive rating and points allowed to their position, pace of play, and how many minutes the player is likely to play.

What is a PRA prop bet for NBA?

PRA stands for Points + Rebounds + Assists — a combined stat prop that totals all three categories into one number. For example, a Nikola Jokic PRA line might be set at 49.5.

PRA props are popular for versatile players because their contributions span multiple statistical categories. They're less volatile than single-stat props since a slow scoring night can be offset by a strong rebounding or passing game.
