Betting on player props is a great strategy to use when betting on the NBA, and you can actually find some excellent odds if you take to evaluate your options.
Here is a look at two of the best NBA player prop betting options from both games set to take place.
Tre Jones Under 14.5 Points (-115)
The New Orleans Pelicans host the San Antonio Spurs in one of the NBA games on Thursday night, and this is a perfect place to start your betting.
The Pelicans have some players that have impressive NBA player stats, and the Spurs are a team that always tends to be consistent, which is helpful when placing bets on them.
Tre Jones is the point guard for the San Antonio Spurs and runs the offense for that team. Some point guards in the league do a ton of scoring, but Jones is averaging just 12.4 points per game this season.
The Spurs are looking for ways to improve on offense, but you shouldn’t expect extra scoring from Tre Jones in this game.
San Antonio is counting on Jones to run the offense and nothing else, and he will most likely score less than 14 points in this matchup with the Pelicans.
CJ McCollum Over 2.5 Made Three-Point Shots (-130)
The New Orleans Pelicans desperately need a win in this game, as they have lost four straight games. Playing at home should give the Pelicans a boost in this game, but they are also dealing with some injuries to some of their biggest stars.
CJ McCollum is not injured, and there will be a lot of pressure on him to deliver some scoring in this game. McCollum is one of the best shooters in the league, and he should be able to find some good looks against the Spurs.
The Spurs will be trying to defend the paint in this game, which will give McCollum some room to operate on the perimeter. He is making over two three-point shots a game, but look for him to be even better in this one.
Bet on McCollum to make over 2.5 three-point shots, and you will get good odds with this wager.
Lauri Markkanen Over 22.5 Points (-120)
The second game of the night in the NBA schedule is a matchup in Utah as the Jazz are set to host the Washington Wizards. You will want to look closely at the player prop betting options for the Jazz in this game and take a look at their NBA team stats, as they should put up many points against a Washington team that struggles to get some stops.
Lauri Markkanen is the Jazz’s leading scorer, scoring around 23 points per game. The Wizards do not have a good matchup for him, and it should be a good night for the forward from Utah.
If Utah is able to speed up the tempo of this game, then you will see plenty of good looks for Markkanen. Bet the over 22.5 points as he puts on a show from deep in this one.
Mike Conley Over 6.5 Assists (-135)
Utah is going to push the pace against a Washington Wizards team that is dealing with some injuries and likes to slow the game down. If the Jazz is pushing the ball in this game, then you will see it in the hands of Mike Conley a ton.
Mike Conley used to be a player who would take over a game on offense of his own, but he now wants to set up his teammates on offense. The Jazz has some terrific weapons on offense to get the ball to, and that is how Conley will attack Washington in this game.
Conley is averaging 7.5 assists per game this season, and he can go over this total without even hitting his average. Take the over 6.5 assists on Thursday night.
