🏀 NBA Player Props Today: Best Bets & Expert Prop Picks for Thursday, March 19
📡 SBR Intel: NBA Player Props Today
My NBA player props today feature Luka Doncic Over 3.5 three-pointers made (-158). He faces a Heat squad that allows the fourth-most 3-point attempts in the league. VJ Edgecombe Under 21.5 (-113) is my next best bet, as he's not even in the top 300 in effective field-goal percentage lately. I wrap up with James Harden Over 20.5 points (-110), as the Bulls allow the second-most points in the East.

π° Best NBA player prop bet today
The Lakers have the eighth-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.
Luka Doncic Over 3.5 three-pointers made (-158) at Heat
I cashed this same bet on LaMelo Ball when he played the Heat on Tuesday. Miami allows the fourth-most 3-point attempts (39.3) in the NBA and gave Ball - the Hornets' leader in 3-point attempts per game - 12 looks from deep last time out.
Doncic leads the Lakers with 10.7 three-point attempts per game and is dealing with hip soreness, making him more likely to launch from beyond the arc than to drive in the lane. FanDuel lists Doncic Over 3.5 three-pointers made at -158, but this bet is good up to Over 4.5 (+120) on the best sports betting sites.
- Tipoff: 8 p.m. ET
- Spread: Heat -6 (-106 via FanDuel)

VJ Edgecombe Under 21.5 points (-113) at Kings
I've been monitoring Edgecombe's struggles for a while now. With so many injuries on the 76ers, defenses have been keying in on him, and he hasn't been able to step up. He's playing fewer minutes and taking fewer shots than Quentin Grimes, and he's recently been settling for 3-pointers, where he's made just 2 of 21.
Out of 431 eligible players, Edgecombe ranks 359th in effective field-goal percentage (per 36 minutes) over the last five games. Edgecombe Under 21.5 points is -113 at DraftKings, but I would play this up to -135 on the best NBA betting sites.
- Tipoff: 10 p.m. ET
- Spread: 76ers -2.5 (-110 via FanDuel)

James Harden Over 20.5 points (-110) at Bulls
I love this matchup for Harden. The Bulls allow the second-most points per game (120.3) in the East and just gave up 139 to the Raptors, who rank 16th in offensive efficiency. The Cavaliers, meanwhile, sit fifth in offensive efficiency, and Harden has been a big reason why.
He ranks 35th in offensive rating per 36 minutes (128.2) over the last five games and should be even more involved in the offense tonight with Donovan Mitchell nursing an eye contusion. DraftKings has Over 20.5 points (-110), but I would play this up to -130 on the best sports betting apps.
- Tipoff: 8 p.m. ET
- Spread: Cavaliers -11 (-110 via FanDuel)

π‘ How I'm betting NBA player props today
I'm allocating 3.81 units for these plays, which is roughly what I would usually risk on three player props. While I'm confident in the bets directionally, theyβre not priced far from where I would set them.
I took two Overs and an Under in this article, which isn't out of the ordinary, though I do bet more Unders. I focused on these players' specific matchups today, with Doncic facing the Heat and Harden playing the Bulls, but also took into account recent performances, as I don't believe any matchup for Edgecombe would be advantageous for him right now.
