Welcome to our first NBA player props edition! Today, we're diving straight into the numbers with a focus on actionable insights rather than education.
💎 Today’s Featured Props
🎯 Zach LaVine UNDER 26.5 Points + Rebounds
Best Price: -105 on BetMGM or ESPN Bet


Recent Performance
Last Game: 26.0 PR
Last 3-Game Average: 24.3 PR
Last 5-Game Average: 22.6 PR
Season Average: 28.1 PR
How Has This Prop Performed?
3 out of last 3 games under
5 out of last 5 games under
6 out of last 10 games under
Key Analysis
LaVine's Points + Rebounds production shows a clear downward trend, particularly evident in his L5 average of 22.6, which sits nearly 4 points below tonight's line. The market consensus around -105 suggests books haven't fully adjusted to his recent performance dip. With consistent unders in his L3 and L5, the trend is strong enough to warrant action despite his higher season-long averages.
Risk Factors
Season average (28.1) sits above the line
Ceiling games still present with PR/G of 28.8
Recent high hit rates could indicate regression to mean
🎯 Malik Monk UNDER 26.5 Points + Assists
Best Price: -113 on Caesars


Recent Performance
Last Game: 21.0 PA
Last 3-Game Average: 22.0 PA
Last 5-Game Average: 20.8 PA
Season Average: 23.7 PA
How Has This Prop Performed?
3 out of last 3 games under
5 out of last 5 games under
7 out of last 10 games under
Key Analysis
Monk's Points + Assists production has consistently stayed below this line, with his season average of 23.7 sitting nearly 3 points below tonight's line of 26.5. His recent averages show even lower production, with L3 (22.0) and L5 (20.8) trending downward. The market seems to be overvaluing his potential output, with strong under performance across all recent sample sizes.
Risk Factors
Strong scoring upside as sixth man
High-paced matchup could increase opportunities
Multiple books moving to -120 suggests sharp money
70% hit rate in L10 indicates some variance in outcomes
🎯 Stephen Curry OVER 24.5 Points
Best Price: -115 on FanDuel


Recent Performance
Last Game: 25.0 PTS
Last 3-Game Average: 32.3 PTS
Last 5-Game Average: 33.2 PTS
Season Average: 23.4 PTS
How Has This Prop Performed?
3 out of last 3 games over
5 out of last 5 games over
5 out of last 10 games over
Key Analysis
Curry's recent scoring surge is significant, with his L3 (32.3) and L5 (33.2) averages both well above tonight's line of 24.5. While his season average of 23.4 sits slightly below the line, his recent hot streak and L7 average of 29.1 points suggest he's found his rhythm. The market is showing strong consensus toward the over with all major books heavily juiced.
Risk Factors
Season average (23.4) below the line
Only 50% hit rate in L10 shows long-term volatility
Heavier juice (-115 to -125) cuts into expected value
🎯 Bam Adebayo OVER 17.5 Points
Best Price: -121 on BetRivers


Recent Performance
Last Game: 27.0 PTS
Last 3-Game Average: 22.3 PTS
Last 5-Game Average: 21.6 PTS
Season Average: 16.7 PTS
How Has This Prop Performed?
3 out of last 3 games over
5 out of last 5 games over
8 out of last 10 games over
Key Analysis
Adebayo's scoring has taken a significant leap recently, with his L3 (22.3) and L5 (21.6) averages both well above tonight's line of 17.5. His last game explosion of 27 points continues the trend of strong scoring performances. While his season average of 16.7 is below the line, recent form and an 80% hit rate in his L10 suggest sustained scoring improvement.
Risk Factors
Season average (16.7) sits below the line
Heavy juice across all books (-121 to -140)
Sharp money pushing line up significantly
High recent hit rates could indicate regression coming
🎯 Max Christie OVER 14.5 Points
Best Price: -105 on FanDuel/BetMGM


Recent Performance
Last Game: 17.0 PTS
Last 3-Game Average: 18.3 PTS
Last 5-Game Average: 17.0 PTS
Season Average: 9.3 PTS
How Has This Prop Performed?
3 out of last 3 games over
5 out of last 5 games over
6 out of last 10 games over
Key Analysis
Christie's recent scoring surge is notable, with his L3 (18.3) and L5 (17.0) averages both comfortably above tonight's line of 14.5. While his season average of 9.3 is well below the line, his recent role change and L7 average of 16.1 points indicate a sustainable uptick in production. The market pricing is relatively soft with -105 available at multiple books.
Risk Factors
Season average (9.3) significantly below the line
Small sample size of increased production
Role/rotation changes could impact minutes
