💰 Best NBA player prop today: LeBron James (Lakers) Over 23.5 points (-102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.

LeBron James has found his shooting touch in 2026, going Over this scoring total in five of six games since the calendar flipped.

While the Lakers' defense continues to be a problem for them, James and the L.A. offense should have no trouble scoring at will against the Hornets on Thursday. I'm betting this prop at FanDuel's -102 odds.

Cooper Flagg (Mavericks) Over 5.5 assists (+106) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cooper Flagg has gone Over this total in both matchups versus the Jazz, who allow the most assists per game in the league.

I'm thrilled to be getting plus-money odds on the star rookie tallying at least six assists for the third straight time against Utah.

Victor Wembanyama (Spurs) Over 10.5 rebounds (-112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Victor Wembanyama has been a menace on the glass recently and faces an awful rebounding team in the Bucks tonight.

While Wemby has averaged 12.2 rebounds over his previous 10 appearances, Milwaukee ranks third-worst in both rebounds per game and rebound rate. It's difficult to picture a much more imbalanced matchup than this. I'm placing my wager at FanDuel's -112 odds.

Steph Curry (Warriors) Over 4.5 made threes (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Steph Curry has dominated the Knicks in his career.

The greatest shooter of all time has averaged over five made 3-pointers against New York across their last 10 head-to-head meetings. And those performances came against better Knicks defenses - New York is tied for sixth-worst in 3-point percentage against.
