Thursday’s Best NBA Player Props & Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Desmond Bane Over 3.5 Made Three-Pointers (+128)
Desmond Bane has never been afraid to launch it from downtown. The Orlando guard has shot 40.2% from three-point range on 6.2 attempts per game in his career. This season has been no different, as Bane has tallied at least eight three-point attempts in each of the Magic’s seven games. He’s drained at least four three-pointers in three straight outings as he tries to make up for Paolo Banchero’s absence (ankle injury).
The Suns have struggled to guard the perimeter so far. They are giving up the most made threes per game (15.8) and the highest three-point shooting percentage (40.3%) in the Western Conference. An opposing player has drained at least four three-pointers in each of Phoenix’s first six games. Bane went 5-of-9 from deep in his last away game versus the Suns in February. Trust him to repeat that success this time around.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 11.5 Rebounds (-102)
Golden State has not been shy about crashing the glass. The Warriors average the third-most offensive rebounds per game (14.5) while also conceding the third-fewest opponent rebounds per game (49.6) in the NBA. Veteran Draymond Green’s toughness and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg’s emergence are making an impact. It doesn’t get any easier when center Charles Bassey brings his physicality off the bench.
The Heat face an uphill battle on Thursday, especially on the second night of a back-to-back. Giannis Antetokounmpo remains a rebound machine in his 14th NBA campaign. That said, he has averaged 8.4 rebounds in 21 career games against the Warriors. That includes just six performances with more than 11 rebounds. Bank on him having a tough night on the boards.
Yaxel Lendeborg Over 3.5 Assists (-136)
Skepticism surrounded Yaxel Lendeborg during the 2026 NBA Draft process. The Michigan product was the class’s oldest prospect, which is rarely seen in a positive light. However, early results show the Warriors may have gotten a steal with the 11th overall pick. Lendeborg has averaged an impressive 21.5 points, seven rebounds and 3.9 assists across eight games. He has come out of the gate firing on all cylinders.
Keep an eye on Lendeborg’s ability to dish the rock on Thursday. He has logged at least four assists in five of his eight games and now faces a Miami defense still learning to gel with several new players. The Heat have allowed the most assists per game (29.9) and the third-most assists per possession (0.279) in the league. They are failing to put pressure on shooters and force isolation plays. Expect Lendeborg to take full advantage.
