March Madness tip-off is just a couple days away, so for tonight, it’s all NBA action. There is only a seven game slate, but there are still a ton of options to choose from for our player prop bets. For tonight’s marquee game, I’ll go with Jazz-Celtics. Utah is favored by 4 points and the total is set to 228.5 points, so buckle up for some action.
As for my best NBA bets, player props are a fun way to wager on NBA games even if you don’t like a side or total. I like to find matchups that I can exploit or good situations due to injuries.
Let’s dive into a couple of these scenarios now.
Donovan Mitchell UNDER 25.5 points
Mitchell comes into the matchup averaging 24.8 points per game (PPG). While I love watching him and the Jazz play, this is a tough spot for him tonight.
Boston ranks 9th in points allowed and 6th in field goals allowed. Marcus Smart is also back from an injury, which will make life a little tougher on Spida. The last time these two teams met, Mitchell went off, but Smart missed that outing.
Mike Conley and some of the bench guys have also been more involved in the offense, which should help keep this number intact.
Unless Mitchell goes off from three-point land, I see him going under this mark tonight.
Patrick Williams OVER 9.5 points
Williams is averaging 10.2 PPG on the year and is coming off of a career high 23 point outing. Chicago underwent a lineup change by inserting a veteran PG and big into the lineup, and Williams reaped the benefits. He scored multiple times by just cutting, with the vets finding him every time.
We will see more of that tonight against the OKC Thunder. They are 25th in blocks and field goals allowed and 27th at rebounds allowed. With no rim protector and the Thunder’s inability to stop him from attacking the glass, Williams should be able to get some opporuntities.
I see Paw staying active and getting a couple easy buckets off of putbacks. He should be good for double-digit points in this spot.
Damian Lillard UNDER 29.5 points
Dame Dolla has been fun to watch this season as he is averaging 29.9 PPG. That being said, I like him to go under this mark, especially with CJ McCollum returning. Lillard has averaged 25.5 PPG with McCollum in the lineup through his career.
This is a dangerous bet since New Orleans is poor defensively, but this number is a few points higher than I have it, so I like the value here. With CJ back, Portland’s scoring should be more spread out. Something to keep an eye on moving forward with this squad.
Be sure to check back daily for our top NBA player prop bets.
