💰 NBA player props & best bets for Monday

Our NBA player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.

⬆️ Derrick White Over 19.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White is averaging 18.3 points per game, but his efficiency has been down. He’s shooting 32.1% from the floor and 28.6% from long range. White was shooting 44.2% last year with a 38.4% clip from deep.

Of course, White’s shooting is down because his role is bigger, and he’s taking more 3-pointers. White has attempted 35 threes through three games, knocking down 10 of them.

But that also provides White with breakout potential if the deep ball begins to fall. A matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans could be the perfect opportunity, which is why I like the Over on 19.5 points to earn $8.33 on a $10 bet. The -120 odds translate to an implied probability of 54.55%, per our odds calculator.


🔥 D'Angelo Russell over 4.5 assists (+130) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd recently said the team was short-handed at point guard. They can’t ask for Luka Doncic back or bring home Jalen Brunson, but they can give more minutes to D’Angelo Russell as the only true healthy option on the roster.

Russell finally got his chance on Sunday, finishing with 24 points and six assists in 29 minutes. Assuming he gets that kind of workload again, I like the plus-money price on his assists prop. Russell made a team-high 54 passes on Sunday.

This +130 price tag (43.48%) provides a chance to win $13 on a $10 bet. Our Juan Carlos Blanco offers three more plays for this matchup in his Thunder vs. Mavericks player props.


⬇️ Austin Reaves Under 43.5 points, rebounds + assists (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Austin Reaves posted a career-best 51 points on Sunday to lift the Los Angeles Lakers past the Sacramento Kings without Luka Doncic and LeBron James. He benefited from a career-high 22 free-throw attempts due to some terrible defense by Sacramento.

The Portland Trail Blazers will do a better job of guarding Reaves without fouling. The Trail Blazers are allowing 26 free throws per game this year, and they closed last year with the second-best defensive rating over the final 41 games.

Reaves’ PRA line closed at 40.5 on Sunday, so I think we are getting value on his Under following an impressive performance. A $10 bet would generate a payout of $8.70 at this price, with an implied probability of 53.49%.
