Welcome to another day of NBA player props as we close in on the end of the regular season. If you aren't taking advantage of the BettingPros prop tools, you're missing out, but there's no time like the present. It's been a profitable year, and I plan on continuing that into the playoffs.
As always, monitor any potential news and lineup announcements. The best way to stay informed about NBA player props is to stay current with the latest updates. The second-best way is to shop around at different sportsbooks. Player props rarely have identical odds across platforms, so ensure you get the best value.
We have a healthy seven-game slate, which means plenty of options to choose from. Of course, there are still players with questionable tags across the board, so make sure to stay on top of the news. Anyways, let's get to the best bets of the day.
Unless specified otherwise, each bet will be for a single unit.

Wednesday’s Best NBA Player Props
Last Time: 2-1 | This Season: 80-62
Deni Avdija Under 39.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds (-112 at DraftKings Sportsbook)
The Trail Blazers sit at 40-39 with a spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament locked up, but they still have a chance to move up in the standings over their final handful of games. The Spurs are in the same boat as they attempt to (unlikely) topple the Thunder from the number one overall seed.
Of course, the big blow to the Spurs is Victor Wembanyama suffering from a rib contusion, but this San Antonio defense is still deadly without him. Since the All-Star break, they rank third defensively, while ranking in the bottom half of the league in pace of play.
Over their last 15 games, the Spurs have allowed the fewest combined points + assists + rebounds to opposing power forwards. Deni Avdija has averaged 20 points a game over his last two months, plus six boards and just under seven rebounds a game, all under his seasonal averages. He hasn't covered this line in five of his last seven games, and I don't expect him to do so tonight.
Jarrett Allen Over 24.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds (-115 at Hard Rock Bet)
The Cavaliers are in position to host a series to open the playoffs and still have the opportunity to jump the Knicks for the third seed. Who else but Jarrett Allen to help them do so?
Cleveland has ranked second in the league in offensive efficiency over their last 15 games, and it takes an even bigger jump at home. Allen has covered this line in 10 of those same games while seeing a big bump in usage rate over his last two weeks of play.
Donovan Mitchell is still questionable, and while he's looking to play, Dean Wade remains out, which can only help Allen's numbers. The Cleveland center is projected for around 26 combined points + assists + rebounds. Even with a bit of a juiced line, there's still some value with these odds.
Jamal Murray Over 35.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds (-110 at FanDuel Sportsbook)
Now it's time to get a little bit weird. Denver comes in as a whopping 22.5-point favorite against Memphis. The Nuggets are firing on all cylinders right now, as no team in the NBA has a better offense over their last 15 games than Denver. They're 12-3 over that time frame and looking to lock up the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, while still being at risk of dropping to fifth.
The spread is massive, but so too is the total at 245 points. Memphis' defense ranks dead last since the All-Star break, while sitting in the top 10 of pace of play, two spots ahead of Denver. Jamal Murray has been playing big minutes (yes, I know overtime boosts the average a bit) of late, and his usage rate has stayed steady around 25% in the last two weeks of play.
I fully expect this prop to continue increasing as we get closer to tip, so get on it quickly.
