Top Five NBA Player Props and Predictions for April 2
An analysis of the best NBA player prop bets for April 2nd featuring Derrick White and Ben Simmons.
The Wednesday NBA schedule features a nine-game slate, including the New York Knicks attempting a feat they haven’t been able to accomplish this season: defeating one of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are 0-2 against the Cavaliers and 0-3 against the Celtics, and on Wednesday, they’ll travel to Cleveland.
The Cavaliers (-10.5, 230) are 4-1 over their last five games. Knicks small forward OG Anunoby has scored at least 27 points in five straight games, yet he has an over/under for total points of 21.5 at plus-money odds on multiple betting apps, including +110 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook, in the latest NBA player props.
Predictions:
Derrick White Over 0.5 blocks (-135)
White had two blocks against the Grizzlies on Monday and he’s had at least one block in back-to-back games and in five of his last seven contests. According to Stephen Oh, “Miami’s shots blocked increase by nearly 25% on the road.”
Ben Simmons Over 0.5 steals (-110)
The Clippers are 17.5-point favorites against the Pelicans on Wednesday. The model gives Simmons an 80% chance at recording at least one steal, showing great value at -110 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Alex Sarr Over 25.5 points + rebounds + assists (-110)
The model has Sarr projected to go over his totals in all three categories, finding the best value in combining them in a PAR bet.
Josh Green Over 9.5 points + rebounds + assists (-105)
Green projected to exceed this number with plenty of minutes played.
Jarrett Allen Over 9.5 rebounds (+114)
Allen averages 10 rebounds per game and is projected to have at least 10.1 on Wednesday. Plus-money play could be worth it here.
