A Look at Some of The Best NBA Prop Tips

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is pure thrills from whistle. You can get your heart beating faster with NBA prop bets. These wagers let you bet on specific outcomes of in-game events, from rebounds to misses to total points under or over.

You can choose team or player prop bets, and your options are pretty much limitless. That said, you need strategy to win at props, and that can be tricky when you first start. Even if you’re a seasoned pro, a few nudges help sometimes.

We’re here to give you them. Read on for your NBA prop betting tips!

Player Performance Is Top of the Props

Player performance lets you tap into the styles and techniques of your favourite players. Follow their season or look back at past games for props hints. You can bet on the number of points, rebounds, assists, or blocks a specific player will have in a game. 

Think about who they’re playing against and how the opposing players could help or hinder their style. If your player is great when attacking, see how the other team’s defense could stop this. Top player prop picks are K. Porzingis and P. Banchero tied for total steals.

You would be wise to wager on J. McDaniels for assists and A. Edwards for rebounds. J. Grant and K. Irving are top choices for blocks. For 3-pointers, G. Harris and K. Anderson are top picks right now.

Who’s Playing Who?

Matchups can give you huge tips on game outcomes. If you expect one team to win with -7 odds, you might want to check who they’re playing. Just because they fared well in the past, doesn’t guarantee they should be your pick now!

Keep an eye on recent trends when making prop bets. This includes things like a team’s recent form, their recent performance against a specific team, and any changes in their role or playing time.

Team Props Offer Plenty of Opportunities

You can bet on teams and players at the same time. Even if you wager one team to win, you can still be on the other team’s individual players as we said above. Team props offer wagers like total points under or over, total number of 3-pointers, and total misses.

Develop expertise in a specific category of props. This helps you specialise in the odds of that niche and how to place spread bets for the greatest effect. And by effect, we mean profit in your pocket!

Keep Tabs on Upcoming Special Events

The NBA has several special events throughout the year, including All-Star weekend and the playoffs. These events are ideal for prop betting. If you put in the research, you can wager on some winners. Millions of people watch NBA events and finals in the USA alone, so you will have plenty of company.

Tune into the latest NBA news and keep a calendar. When you see a special event in your spotlight, dig into the specifics of teams, matchups and players. Note your research down and use it when it you place your bets later.

Let’s See What Happens on the Courts

We hope these tips help you make the most of your NBA prop bets. If you feel like a more laid-back game, you and your pals can try playing squares, an almost strategy-less form of props that is more fun in a group. Give it a try next time!

Please bear in mind that betting should always be done responsibly and within your own financial means. Oh, and remember to have fun too!
