How Do NBA Player Prop Bets Work?

So, a prop bet is any bet or wager that doesn’t involve the actual outcome of a game. This is how DFS operators such as PrizePicks and UnderDog can provide certain props in states where traditional sports betting isn’t legal yet. 

As for how NBA player prop bets work in particular, you basically wager on whether a player will hit over or under a certain amount of points, assists, rebounds, etc. This can also be done on the team level with points, dunks, fouls, etc. 

Additionally, the advent of micro-betting has massively expanded the pool of NBA player props as you can now place bets on specific stats on a half or even quarter level (see more below).

The biggest operators like FanDuel and DraftKings have gained popularity among different types of bettors in no small part due to the variety of props available.

Before placing a prop bet, do your research to find out where you'll get the best sportsbook bonus.

NBA Prop Bet Options

The best part about NBA prop betting is all the options it affords you. 

Want to wager on the amount of points a player will score against the worst defense in the league? Done. 

What if you want to bet that a player on a hot streak will hit over a certain amount of threes? You can do that too. 

The list below is by no means comprehensive, but outlines several of the different NBA player prop options at most of the biggest sportsbooks:

Offensive NBA Player Props

• Rebounds (quarter, half or full game)
• Points (quarter, half or full game)
• Assists (quarter, half or full game)
• Field goals made (quarter, half or full game)
• Threes made (quarter, half or full game)

Defensive NBA Player Props

• Steals (quarter, half or full game)
• Blocks (quarter, half or full game)

Some operators also offer NBA player props on less desirable statistics like fouls, turnovers or missed shots but, as noted, those are less common options.

You can bet player props on BetMGM sportsbook.

NBA Player Props

As mentioned before, this is when you wager on a particular player hitting over or under a particular stat, such as points, rebounds, assists, etc. 

Here is a hypothetical example:

• LeBron James: Over 26.5 Total Points -120; Under 26.5 Total Points -105

Always keep in mind that the odds can differ between the over and the under. As you can see above, LBJ scoring over 26.5 points in this hypothetical game is favored and a bit more expensive at -120 rather than -105 for the under.

Best Sportsbooks For NBA Player Props

Other NBA Props Available

In addition to player prop bets, you can also wager on team prop bets and season-long prop bets. Team prop bets are a little easier than player prop bets since you don’t have to rely on a single player, while season-long prop bets are much more difficult than both. 

Season-long prop bets are good if you have a strong hunch or feeling about a certain player or team. Much like an NBA futures bet, you can wager on a team’s win totals, whether a player will win a certain award, etc. 

Our FanDuel promo code is great for NBA player prop bets. Here is a hypothetical example of an NBA team prop bet: 

1st Half Winning Margin 

• Los Angeles Lakers 1-3 Points: +650
• Los Angeles Lakers 4-6 Points: +750
• Los Angeles Lakers 7-9 Points: +950
• Los Angeles Lakers 10-12 Points: +1300
• Los Angeles Lakers 13-16 Points: +1600

Told ya there were a lot of options. 

NBA Player Props Betting Tips

Regardless of who you’re betting on, there are some general tips you should always take into consideration before placing a prop bet. 

Check Injury Reports

This one seems like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised at how many people forget to check the injury report. Not only is this important to see if the player you want to wager on is playing, but also who else is available. 

Obviously, if the best player on a particular team is out, that might lead to more opportunities for the second or third option and perhaps better value for you if you get a wager in quickly. 

Check Trends

We have plenty of expert tips and trends for you here at VegasInsider, so always make sure to check them before placing a bet. 

If you see a player has scored 20 or more in five straight, chances are he should hit that again. Of course, the line will dictate whether the bet is smart or not. Books might make things tough and place the line at 21.5 for a player that averages 20.2 points per game, but that’s why they call it gambling.

Play Within Your Means

This goes without saying, but always manage your bankroll. Remember, sports betting and gambling is supposed to be for fun. If you need help, check out our responsible gambling resources.
