Search the best NBA player prop odds for any team or player across every market from legal sportsbooks in your area.
LeBron James Over 22.5 points (-102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After his 10-point streak finally came to an end, James has scored 26 or more points in three of his last four games.
He’s shooting 35-for-65 (53.8%) from the field over that span and has attempted 13 or more free throws in back-to-back games. The last time James faced the Clippers - a Lakers win on Nov. 25 - he scored a then-season-high 25 points, going 9-for-15 (60%) from the field. He has cashed this prop in 10 of his last 11 matchups against the Clippers.

James Harden Over 3.5 three-pointers made (+134) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Harden's been money from long distance recently, making four 3-pointers in each of his last two games.
The 11-time All-Star has cashed this prop in 13 of his 25 games this season. Despite the bet hitting at a 52% clip, FanDuel’s +134 odds carry an implied probability of just 42.74%.
Additionally, the Lakers give up the fifth-most 3-pointers in the NBA, allowing opponents to make an average of 14.5 per game. While Harden made only three 3-pointers the last time he faced the Lakers (Nov. 25), he shot an uncharacteristically low 3-for-12 from deep - that’s unlikely to happen again.
Luka Doncic Over 8.5 rebounds (-136) ⭐⭐⭐
Doncic is coming off an 11-rebound performance in a road win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday.
He has cashed this prop in six of his last nine games - a 66.67% hit rate - while these -136 odds from DraftKings carry an implied probability of just 57.63%. Most of the best sports betting sites have already moved his line up to 9.5 rebounds, which is why I grabbed the value at DraftKings.
Doncic also cashed this prop on Nov. 25 against the Clippers, grabbing nine rebounds, which shows why getting the best number matters.
