The NBA action continues this Monday, March 20th, with a total of six match-ups on the slate. Lucky for you, I have scoured the bookies’ odds to find the best NBA player props for today’s games, so keep reading to take advantage of my picks.
Joel Embiid – Over 33.5 Points (-115)
Can anyone stop Joel Embiid right now? Last time out, the Philadelphia 76ers superstar made franchise history with a ninth consecutive outing of 30+ points, helping his team notch an eighth straight victory against the Indiana Pacers.
Thanks largely to Embiid’s exploits, the 76ers find themselves second in the Eastern Conference. Facing a Chicago Bulls team occupying 10th place in the standings, Embiid will be confident of registering another heavyweight score on Monday.
Terry Rozier – Under 22.5 Points (-125)
Not only have the Charlotte Hornets lost each of their last four games, but they have also lost seven of their previous nine. When you look at the bigger picture, the Hornets have managed to win just 22 of their 72 outings this season, leaving them second from bottom in the Eastern Conference.
Having won six of their past 10 encounters, the Indiana Pacers will be hopeful of keeping Charlotte’s Terry Rozier quiet on Monday. Rozier has failed to score over 22.5 points in 10 of his previous 12 appearances, so I can’t see him surpassing that mark against Indiana.
-game losing streak. With that in mind, backing Randle to notch over 9.5 rebounds makes a lot of sense, especially at +100.
Steph Curry – Over 5.5 Assists (-115)
Warriors vs. Rockets Prediction
The Houston Rockets find themselves rock bottom of the Western Conference, having won just 18 of their 71 games this season. Although the Golden State Warriors have struggled for consistency in 2022- 23, they shouldn’t struggle to overcome Houston on Monday.
Since returning from a knee injury earlier this month, Steph Curry has registered 42 assists in eight appearances, meaning he averages 5.3 assists per game since returning to action. For that reason, I’m backing him to grab over 5.5 rebounds against the lowly Rockets.
Domantas Sabonis – Over 13.5 Rebounds (-105)
Domantas Sabonis is sitting pretty at the summit of the rebounds per game leaderboard. Averaging a whopping 12.5 rebounds per game this season, the Sacramento Kings superstar has helped his team cement second place in the Western Conference.
After notching 17 rebounds in back-to-back games earlier this month, Sabonis recorded a mammoth 21 rebounds against the Brooklyn Nets last week. Accordingly, I expect him to bag over 13.5 rebounds against the inconsistent Utah Jazz on Monday.
