Best NBA Player Props: Memphis Grizzlies vs. New Orleans Pelicans (8:00 PM EST)

Jaren Jackson Jr. Threes Over 1.5 (+124) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Through the Memphis Grizzlies’ first 25 games without Ja Morant available, Jaren Jackson Jr. stepped up in hopes of helping his team tread water in the Western Conference. It wasn’t enough, but he showed plenty to suggest much more production from him–particularly from the three-point line.

On the season, Jackson Jr. has averaged 21.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, and 1.6 threes per game on 46.3% from the field and 32.1% from three-point range. His offensive production and volume have increased this season and still look promising with Morant in the lineup.

Through 28 games, Jackson Jr. has cleared 1.5 threes in 14 appearances. However, in his last five games, Jackson Jr. has hit two or more threes just once. The outlook is good against a New Orleans team that employs a traditional center, allowing Jackson Jr. to thrive with his three-point shooting ability.

Best NBA Player Props: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (8:00 PM EST)

Chet Holmgren Threes Over 1.5 (+110) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Chet Holmgren maintains his place as one of the NBA’s most outstanding rookies this season. His individual production is among the best in his class, and his contributions have helped the Oklahoma City Thunder reach third place in the Western Conference.

Through 27 games, Holmgren has averaged 17.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, and 1.5 threes per game on 52.6% from the field and 36.9% from three-point range. A member of the new age of stretch-fives in the NBA, Holmgren’s interior defense and three-point shooting presents a unique combination for his opposition.

Holmgren has cleared 1.5 threes in 12 of his 27 matches this season, posting a career-high of five made threes against the Philadelphia 76ers. In his last game against the Timberwolves, Holmgren hit three of his eight three-point attempts. Holmgren will be liberal from three against a traditional Timberwolves lineup, giving this prop a great chance to hit.

Best NBA Player Props: Charlotte Hornets vs. LA Clippers (10:30 PM EST)

Terry Rozier Threes Under 2.5 (+100) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Terry Rozier’s production has been overlooked in recent seasons as he plies his trade with a less-than-impressive Charlotte Hornets team. Taking the reins of the Hornets' offense due to an injury to point guard LaMelo Ball, Rozier has again stepped up his offensive production to keep his Hornets competitive.

On the season, Rozier is averaging 23.2 points, 7.1 assists, and 2.6 threes on 46.4% from the field and 35.8% from three-point range. While he didn’t play in the Hornets’ last game, a loss to the Denver Nuggets, he’s been the offensive leader for the Hornets throughout the season.

Rozier has hit under 2.5 threes in 11 of his 17 games this season. The sample size is small, but paired with the LA Clippers suffocating perimeter defenders, it doesn’t project to be a good shooting night for the Hornets' point guard.

What is an NBA Player Prop?

A Player Prop in NBA betting focuses on individual player performance rather than the game outcome. It involves wagering on specific player actions, like points scored or rebounds, with bookmakers setting benchmarks. For instance, a Ja Morant prop bet might predict if he'll score over/under 35.5 points in a game. These bets provide an extra layer of excitement, allowing bettors to concentrate on specific players within the broader game context.
