The NBA brings seven games to the table Monday, leaving plenty of props to sift through on No House Advantage. Let’s narrow down the field by highlighting some favorable NBA player props to consider. Also, be sure to check out the NBA Bet Pro Tool to pick props.
NBA No House Advantage – Best NBA Player Props
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, OKC at DAL: Over 25.5 Points
The Thunder last played Saturday in what was a difficult matchup against the Cavaliers, who are one of the best defensive teams in the league. They were held to 102 points, 23 of which Gilgeous-Alexander scored. While that would have been a good night for most players, that broke Gilgeous-Alexander’s streak of eight straight games with at least 26 points.
Gilgeous-Alexander has used his 32.9% usage rate this season to average 30.8 points per game. The last time he faced the Mavericks, he scored 38 points on 15-for-27 shooting from the field. The NBA Bet Pro Tool has him projected to score 27.8 points in their rematch.
Damian Lillard, POR vs. MIN: Over 24.5 Points
The Timberwolves had no answer for Lillard when these two teams played each other Saturday. He shot 9-for-22 from the field and 15-for-15 from the charity stripe on his way to scoring 36 points. That came after he scored 40 points against the Nuggets in his previous game. In that matchup, he went a whopping 9-for-17 from behind the arc.
Lillard is once again the focal point of the Trail Blazers offense, posting a 32.1% usage rate. Add that to him attempting 10.6 3-point shots per game, and he has an incredibly high scoring upside. While that might seem like a ridiculous amount of 3-pointers to attempt per game, he has averaged at least 10.2 attempts in three of the last four seasons. The NBA Bet Pro Tool has Lillard projected to score 26.5 points in this game.
Kawhi Leonard, LAC vs. BOS: Under 18.5 Points
The Clippers must be encouraged that Leonard has been able to play in three of their last four games. He’s only appeared in eight games after missing all of last season, so expect them to be very cautious with their star in the hopes of having him healthy for the playoffs. He has played 30 minutes in both of his last two games, but he could be capped at that number for at least the immediate future.
With Leonard playing limited minutes, he has not scored more than 16 points in a game this season. Even in the two games in which he played 30 minutes, he scored 14 and 13 points. Combine that with the Celtics having the eighth-best defensive rating in the league, and the under is the way to go here.
Christian Wood, DAL vs. OKC: Over 12.5 Points
Wood finally made his first start of the season, entering the starting five Saturday against the Bulls. However, don’t get too excited just yet. The reason he started was likely because Luka Doncic sat out for rest. Wood took advantage of his opportunity, scoring 21 points over 28 minutes. However, with Doncic expected to return, it’s likely that Wood will return to his role on the second unit.
Even though Wood has been playing limited minutes off the bench, he still has a 27.0% usage rate and is one of the top scoring options on the Mavericks. That has helped him score at least 14 points in six of his last seven games. With the Thunder’s lack of size up front, this could be a matchup for Wood to exploit.
