Our NBA player prop bets are doing well this week: we’ve cashed 12 winners from 21 attempts so far and with another 7-game slate coming our way, I’m hoping to close out the week on a strong note.
We have picks on the side and total for all 7 games this Sunday, be sure to check out our NBA predictions.
Let’s look at some of my favorite NBA player prop bets now.
Anthony Davis (LAL) to score 25+ points (-180)
Backing Anthony Davis to score 25+ points almost sounds too easy with the way AD has played lately. He’s averaging 30.6 points per game over his last 8 and that includes the game against Cleveland in which he went out after just 8 minutes with 1 point scored, which lowers his average significantly.
AD has scored 25+ in 10 of 11 games, and one of those was against the Pistons earlier this season at Crypto.com Arena where he had 38, including 18 from the free-throw line. LA will once again try to use their pace to get past the Pistons tonight, so I’m expecting AD to assert himself once again. He’s scored at least 25 in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these teams.

Trae Young (ATL) to record 10+ assists (-180)
Life is going to be tough for Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks over the next couple of weeks as their starting point guard Dejounte Murray recovers from an ankle injury. They are on a 3-game losing streak, but at least Young is putting up solid numbers with his usage rate soaring through the roof.
He just had 33 points and 9 assists in the loss at Brooklyn, but now with Atlanta going back home to face the Bulls I think it’ll be a favorable matchup for him. In games played at State Farm Arena he averages 10.3 assists per game, in his last 2 played there he had 10 and 14 assists vs OKC and Miami. He’s cleared this line 6 times in his last 10 games, he goes up against a Chicago side ranking only 29th in opponent assists per game, giving up 26.8 a night. I think getting to 10 won’t be a problem for Trae.
Zion Williamson (NOP) to score 25+ points (-160)
Zion Williamson is ascending to superstar level right before our eyes. The Pelicans have the best record in the Western Conference and he is the main reason for that. Leading a team in scoring when you have certified scorers such as Brandon Ingram and C.J. McCollum is impressive in itself, but Zion’s dominance over the last 6 games has been next level. He has cleared this line in 5 of those games, also averaging 29.8 points per game in December.
He’s a matchup nightmare on most nights, having just played the Suns at home and scored 35 on 13-for-17 shooting proves just that. This man has not scored a three in 10 games in a row, but that’s okay. He’s one of the most physically gifted players the game has ever seen and will once again bully his way on the inside against Phoenix. The Suns have Deandre Ayton on the inside, but over their last 3 games they’ve given up an average of 56 points in the paint, including 72 against the Pelicans on Friday. I expect Zion to dominate tonight.
