Shai Gilgeous-Alexander NBA

Want a chance to win up to 100x your entry at Underdog Fantasy? Look no further than Underdog Ladders, which can be found in the “Originals” section of the DFS app.

Make 3-5 picks and progressively win more based on how well each of your picks performs that day.

A Look At Underdog’s New Format: Ladders

Underdog Fantasy continues to innovate the DFS pick’em offering, adding another game type called Ladders.

Ladders joins Streaks as the two featured contest types under the “Originals” tab.

Underdog Ladders FAQ

The format for Ladders is simple. Each pick has three rungs to hit, and all of your picks have to hit a rung to get that particular payout.

As of now, only NBA player projections are included as an option for Ladders, though future expansion into other sports is expected.

Underdog Ladders Payout Structure

Each rung in the ladders structure has a multiplier associated with it.

Refer to the table below for the payouts based on how many picks you make.

All entries must include active picks from at least two different teams.

Underdog Ladders Voided Picks Rules

If a tied or voided pick makes an entry invalid, Underdog deems the entry will be considered void, and the fee will be refunded.

“If a pick is voided and the entry is still valid, the entry will be graded as a Loss if another pick is lost. If a pick is voided and the entry is still valid where all other picks won, the entry will be graded as a Win but will pay out for the number of active players.

For example, a 4-pick Ladders entry with one void would become a 3-pick Ladders entry and if it wins would pay at as a 3-pick Ladders win.  A 3-pick ladder with void(s) will result in a refund.”

In the case of postponed contests, picks will be graded as void if the game resumes the next day after 5 a.m. EST or if there is a venue change.

Must be 18+ (19+ in AL, NE; 19+ in CO for some games; 21+ in AZ, MA, and VA) and present in a state where Underdog Fantasy operates. Terms apply. See assets.underdogfantasy.com/web/PlayandGetTerms_DFS_.html for details. Offer not valid in MD, MI, OH, and PA. Concerned with your play? Call 1-800-GAMBLER or visit www.ncpgambling.org; NY: Call the 24/7 HOPEline at 1-877-8-HOPENY or Text HOPENY (467369)

Underdog Ladders Pick’Em Rescues

There are multiple reasons why your pick may leave the first half of the game including injury, ejection etc.

Underdog will refund your entry in this case and potentially offer you a special that will appear in you player lobby the next day if you chose “higher” for your rescued pick.

Make sure to note that all picks are not eligible for rescues. NBA, MLB, WNBA, NFL, and CFB picks are the only sports eligible for this policy.

Why Underdog?

Underdog is available in 35+ states, regardless of whether that state has legalized sports betting or not. They also have a smooth app with plenty of player options across numerous sports.

If you are new, sign up using promo code PROPS to receive $100 when you play $5 on the platform.

Soccer Props Today – Premier League Picks & Analysis

Each week, we will break down the matches and pick out our favorite soccer player props.

Saturday, December 20th

We have a massive English Premier League slate to go through on Saturday, and we’re here to break it all down from a DFS and betting perspective.

Here’s the schedule:

Newcastle vs. Chelsea
Bournemouth vs. Burnley
Brighton vs. Sunderland
Man City vs. West Ham
Wolves vs. Brentford
Tottenham vs. Liverpool
Everton vs. Arsenal
Leeds vs. Crystal Palace

Biggest moneyline favorites (approximate):

  • Man City (-500)
  • Bournemouth (-205)
  • Arsenal (-180)
  • Brighton (-155)

There are a lot of notable injuries to be aware of. The likes of Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Estevao, Jeremy Doku and Ismaila Sarr are out, and a host of other key figures are questionable to play.

Here are the updated leaders in shot-creating actions per 90 minutes so far this season, filtered for non-injured players on today’s slate (Football Reference):

Rayan Cherki (6.09)
Bukayo Saka (4.93)
Florian Wirtz (4.51)
Dominik Szoboszlai (4.46)
Phil Foden (4.28)
Yeremy Pino (4.26)
Jack Grealish (4.18)

Top Targets

A quick overview of our top player picks for the upcoming slate

Man City Attack – Let’s get the obvious out of the way. All of Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki are in play at home against the Hammers. They’ve been in top form, and the Citizens are huge -500 moneyline favorites. Consider an alternate goal play on Haaland.

Antoine Semenyo > 0.5 Goals + Assists – This is a strong spot for Bournemouth at home to Burnley. Semenyo has become one of the most dangerous attacking players in the Premier League and has a great chance of at least one goal or assist here.

Bukayo Saka > 0.5 Goals + Assists – An away match against Everton doesn’t sound all that appetizing, but Arsenal should be able to control possession. The Gunners are looking strong this season, and Saka has been creating a lot of chances on a per-90 basis.

More picks and analysis coming soon. Check back later.

Post-Lineups Update

IMPORTANT: We recommend waiting until starting 11s are released before finalizing picks.

Soccer Props Today – Champions League Picks & Analysis

For each main UCL slate, we will break down the matches and pick out our favorite soccer player props.

Wednesday, December 10th

We have another busy day of UCL action ahead of us, highlighted by a highly-anticipated showdown between Real Madrid and Man City in Spain.

Here’s the schedule:

Qarabag vs. Ajax
Villarreal vs. FC Copenhagen
Ath Bilbao vs. PSG
Bayer Leverkusen vs. Newcastle
Benfica vs. Napoli
Club Brugge vs. Arsenal
Dortmund vs. Body/Glimt
Juventus vs. Pafos
Real Madrid vs. Man City

Some of the most popular plays on the Underdog app for that Real Madrid/Man City battle:

Biggest moneyline favorites (approximate):

Juventus (-600)
Dortmund (-295)
Arsenal (-275)
Villarreal (-220)
PSG (-135)

Updated UCL leaders in Shot-Creating Actions Per 90 Minutes, filtered for players on today’s slate (Football Reference):

  • Kylian Mbappe (7.98)
  • Vinicius Junior (6.77)
  • Phil Foden (6.29)
  • Kenan Yildiz (6.10)
  • Francisco Conceicao (5.95)
  • Nicolas Pepe (5.94)
  • Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (5.92)
  • Arda Guler (5.67)
  • Jens Petter Hauge (5.61)
  • Jeremy Doku (5.59)
  • Bradley Barcola (5.25)
  • Dodi Lukebakio (4.92)
  • Achraf Hakimi (4.87)

Top Targets

A quick overview of our top player picks for the upcoming slate

Nicolas Pepe > 0.5 Goals + Assists – Pepe sticks out in the two-game early slate. Villarreal will be at home to Copenhagen and is a firm favorite in the odds.

Pepe is a direct and dangerous player who is averaging 5.22 shot-creating actions per 90 minutes in La Liga play so far this season. That’s easily the most within the Villarreal squad and the 10th-most in the league.

Juventus Attack – We’ll be eagerly awaiting Juventus’ starting lineup for this favorable matchup. Dusan Vlahovic is injured. Jonathan David and Kenan Yildiz would be our preferred targets, if they make the team.

Serhou Guirassy – This is a great team situation for Dortmund at home to a less talented side, and Guirassy has been highly effective leading the line for the club in recent seasons. He should be able to score at least one goal, and if you want to take a bigger chance, consider backing him to net two or more.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia & Bradley Barcola – PSG is without Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi, among others, yet is still favored away to Ath Bilbao. We have interest in both Kvaratskhelia and Barcola, even in what should be a hostile environment, as they’re both been creating a lot of chances going forward.

Post-Lineups Update

We recommend waiting until starting 11s are released before finalizing picks. Check back to this space later for updated plays and analysis.

Serhou Guirassy is not starting. Other than that, no updates.

Good luck!

Tuesday, December 9th

The UCL returns with a full day of action on Tuesday.

Here’s the schedule:

Kairat Almaty vs. Olympiacos
Bayern Munich vs. Sporting
Atalanta vs. Chelsea
Barcelona vs. Frankfurt
Monaco vs. Galatasaray
PSV vs. Atletico Madrid
Royale Union vs. Marseille
Tottenham vs. Slavia Prague

Biggest favorites:

  • Barcelona (-600)
  • Bayern Munich (-400)
  • Tottenham (-220)
  • Olympiacos (-205)

Most popular picks on Underdog at time of writing:

Top Targets

A quick overview of our top player picks for the upcoming slate

Harry Kane & Michael Olise – Young starlet Lennart Karl also stands out and is likely to go more under-the-radar (if he picks up the start), but it’s hard to ignore the output Kane and Olise have been producing for Bayern.

Kane has 17 goals and three assists in 20 Bundesliga matches and Olise has recorded six goals and eight assists in 13 appearances. Kane is already up to five goals in five UCL games, with Olise at three goal contributions (one goal, two assists).

Raphinha & Lamine Yamal – Another dynamic duo. Along with Robert Lewandowski, we can feel great about liberally targeting Barcelona playmakers Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. Though the competition isn’t a walkover, the Catalan outfit is the biggest favorite on this slate at home versus Eintracht Frankfurt.

Raphinha (four goals, three assists in seven La Liga matches) recently returned from injury and continues to cause havoc offensively. Ditto for Yamal, who’s notched six goals and seven assists in 12 La Liga matches and two goals and one assist in four UCL games. The dominant Spaniard is averaging 6.49 shot-creating actions per 90 minutes in Europe so far this term (Football Reference).

Richarlison – Assuming he gets the start up front, Richarlison is interesting in a home spot against Slavia Prague. He found the back of the net in the EPL over the weekend and showed great chemistry with Xavi Simons, who had his best performance in a Spurs kit.

Simons is also intriguing, as he seems to be getting more and more comfortable in his new surroundings. There’s a good chance he’ll miss out on the starting 11, though, so that’s something we’ll have to monitor.

Post-Lineups Update

We recommend waiting until starting 11s are released before finalizing picks. Check back to this space later for updated plays and analysis.

No updates today. All mentioned players are in the starting 11.

Good luck!

Soccer Props & Betting Strategy Tip: Understanding Odds

Just like in other sports, it’s important to understand the macro game environment in soccer. If a team is heavily favored, such as Manchester City against a weak Premier League opponent, that squad is likely to control possession and create a lot more scoring chances.

Understanding team dynamics and who will be in the best opportunities to succeed and fall short of the mark will help you narrow down your favorite soccer props and betting picks.

BEST POINTS PROP

NBA Player Prop: Derrick White > 18 Points

Justin Carlucci wrote about White on our best NBA player props page. Check out the full analysis about why he thinks White could crush vs. Miami on Friday.

BEST REBOUNDS PROP

NBA Player Prop: Rudy Gobert > 9.5 Rebounds

The Thunder are a great rebounding team, but Minnesota will need Gobert’s size in the paint against Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren. They’ll also be desperate for rim protection against SGA and his many drives to the paint. Gobert has been great this year when he’s received a full complement of minutes. Barring foul trouble or injury, he should have that opportunity on Friday.

BEST ASSISTS PROP

NBA Player Prop: Tyrese Maxey > 6.5 Assists

This is a really interesting number at plus-money on most books. There has been a Joel Ebmiid on/off correlation with this one. When Embiid has been off the floor for the past few years, Maxey has distributed less.

UPDATE: Embiid has been ruled OUT.

Across 200+ minutes while sharing the court with Embiid this season, Maxey averages 7.23 assists per 36 minutes. Of course, now, Paul George is in the fold, but it’s nice to see Embiid make things for others, and there could be some easy pick-and-roll looks for the Sixers’ duo.

UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS PICK

Pick: Jaylen Brown > 45.25 Fantasy Points

The Celtics have been leaning on Brown heavily in the absence of Jayson Tatum. He’s averaging a career-high 31.3 points to go with 6.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per 36 minutes through the first 25 games of the season (Basketball Reference). The Celtics are 6.5-point home favorites over the Heat.

Thunder-Wolves Predictions and Preview (12/19)

The Thunder are 25-2 and have won 9 of their last 10 games. They’re not just winning—they’re dominating. In their last 5 games, OKC is averaging 129.6 PPG while holding opponents to just 105.6 PPG, a ridiculous +24.0 point differential.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing at an MVP level with 32.4 PPG, 6.4 APG, and 4.7 RPG. Chet Holmgren is anchoring the defense with 18.9 PPG, 8.0 RPG, and 1.4 BPG. The Thunder rank 1st in Defensive Rating (104.5) and 1st in Net Rating (+16.6).

This team is elite on both ends of the floor.

The Timberwolves are 17-10 but just lost to the Clippers 116-110 at home on December 17. They’re also dealing with a key injury—Mike Conley is out with an Achilles injury and won’t return until at least December 21.

The good news? Anthony Edwards is PLAYING tonight despite being listed as questionable earlier. Ant is averaging 28.7 PPG, 4.9 RPG, and 3.8 APG this season and will need to carry the offensive load without Conley.

Check out a few popular player props to bet on Underdog tonight:

NBA Expert Picks: Thunder vs Wolves Best Player Prop Bets

I’m interested in a pair of Thunder players tonight. This is the second leg of a back-to-back for OKC, but I like the idea of this being a great basketball game on a National stage.

Chet Holmgren Higher Than 26.5 Points + Rebounds

Chet is averaging 29.0 PRA per game this season (18.9 + 8.0 + 2.1). The Underdog Fantasy line is set at 26.5 PRA, which is way too low.

Against the Timberwolves’ frontcourt (Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle), Chet will get his usual production. He’s been incredibly consistent all season, hitting 25+ PRA in 18 of his 23 games. Tonight, expect 20+ points, 8+ rebounds, and 2+ assists for 30+ PRA total.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander HIGHER Than 50.05 Fantasy Points

SGA is averaging 32.4 PPG and faces a Timberwolves defense that ranks 10th in Defensive Rating—good, but not elite. He’s been dominant all year and should go off tonight. Blowout has killed SGA props at times, but I believe this game vs. the Wolves will be competitive. This is a great player prop bet to target from a unique angle.

Let’s say SGA goes for:

  • 32 points = 32 pts
  • 6 assists = 12 pts (2 pts per assist)
  • 5 rebounds = 5 pts
  • 2 steals = 4 pts (2 pts per steal)
  • Total: ~53 fantasy points

That’ll get the job done. Good luck!

Sixers-Knicks Preview and Predictions (12/19)

The biggest storyline for our 76ers vs Knicks predictions is Joel Embiid’s absence. The 76ers’ MVP-caliber center was downgraded to OUT earlier today, leaving Philadelphia without their best player, rim protector, and offensive anchor.

The Knicks are already the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference at 19-7, and now they face a depleted 76ers squad missing Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr. (OUT – knee), and Trendon Watford (OUT – adductor).

The stud trio of Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and Embiid has played less than 50 minutes of shared time on the court together this season.

Before we dive in any deeper, here are some top NBA player props for 76ers vs. Knicks on Underdog:

NBA Expert Picks: Sixers vs Knicks Best Player Prop Bets

Let’s dive into the good stuff. Here are our NBA best bets–all things player prop bets–for the Knicks vs 76ers game on Friday!

Prop Bet: Tyrese Maxey Higher Than 30.5 Points

Without Embiid, Maxey will have to continue playing at a superstar level to keep the 76ers competitive. Maxey averages a tick over 29 points per 36 without Emiibd on the floor, but he might push 40 minutes if the game is close after being off nearly a week.

Prop Bet: Paul George Higher Than 27.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists

George averages more than 35 PRA without Embiid on the floor, per 36 minutes. George’s minutes have been slowly ramping up, as he’s played at least 32 in three straight games. This price seems like books aren’t taking that into consideration. I also like > 18.5 points for him.

Prop Bet: Karl-Anthony Towns Double-Double

No Embiid, no problem. KAT should feast tonight.

Good luck!

CFB Playoff Predictions: No. 9 Alabama at No. 8 Oklahoma

  • Friday, December 19 — 8:00 PM ET | ABC / ESPN
  • Spread: Oklahoma -1.5
  • Total: 39.5

Alabama enters at 10–3, while Oklahoma is 10–2, with the extra Bama loss coming in the SEC title game when they were destroyed by Georgia. These teams played on November 15, when Oklahoma beat Alabama 23–21 in Tuscaloosa despite being outgained by nearly 200 yards.

Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson leads the Tide with 3,268 passing yards, 26 TDs, and 5 INTs. Oklahoma’s defense ranks top-10 nationally in scoring defense and has allowed fewer than 14 points per game this season.

The low total reflects both teams’ defensive strength and Alabama’s inconsistent run game late in the year. Oklahoma’s home field and prior win matter, but Alabama was the more efficient offense in the first meeting.

Best NBA Player Props Today: Friday, December 19th

Every day during the NBA regular season and playoffs, we run through our favorite picks of the night.

We’re fresh off a Thursday sweep! Let’s get to it.

Derrick White > 18.5 Points

Something clicked or White when the calendar flipped to December. His usage was sporadic in late November. In fact, in his last four November games, he recorded two usage frates at 20% or less.

But in December, White has topped 20% in every game– in fact, he’s had no usage rate lower than 25% this month, topping at least 30% in three separate games.

Boston plays Miami tonight, and this isn’t the same Heat team as we’ve seen for the past decade or two. They’re still tenacious defensively, with the league’s second-best defensive rating, but they also play at the fastest pace in the NBA.

I’ll take the pace-up spot plus usage for White at 18.5 points as a 1u play.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Higher Than 24.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists

I’m really not sure why the Hawks brought Trae Young back from a very lengthy absence on the first leg of a back-to-back set. Atlanta plays San Antonio tonight after Young played only 20 minutes in Charlotte.

I can’t see him topping 25 minutes tonight against San Antonio, and there’s a legitimate chance he might sit this one out entirely to rest. That would obviously give a lot more usage to everybody else on Atlanta’s roster.

Which brings me to Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who has been absolutely unbelievable this season. He’s finally hitting his post-hype breakout at 27 years old – better late than never, right?

He’s averaging a tick over 20 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists this season. Even better? He’s been playing roughly 3 more minutes per game and scoring over 4 more points per game in November and December compared to October. That’s a clear upward trend.

He’s going to get major minutes in this game that should be played at a great pace because the Spurs play at an average tempo, and Atlanta plays really fast. More possessions equal more opportunities.

His usage rates have been unbelievably consistent lately. He hasn’t had a usage rate lower than 23% in any game in December. He’s getting a ton of volume and racking up enough peripherals to consistently clear his props.

Now, the Spurs are much better defensively with Wemby on the court, but Wembanyama will likely be limited to about 25 minutes or so as he continues managing his workload. That opens things up for stretches of the game.

Bottom line: there’s upside if Trae Young is extremely limited or sits entirely. But even if Trae plays, you’re getting Alexander-Walker in great form right now, and this bet is well alive regardless. 1u play here.

Must be 18+ (19+ in AL, NE; 19+ in CO for some games; 21+ in AZ, MA, and VA) and present in a state where Underdog Fantasy operates. Terms apply.

Complete NBA Prop Bet Guide

The National Basketball Association (NBA) has become one of the biggest betting markets in the thriving US sports betting industry. There are several great ways to bet on the NBA, but NBA prop betting is one of the latest trends that is starting to become more popular.

NBA prop betting has now taken on a life of its own in some respects, and you will see more of these betting options available every season. If you have not yet made an NBA prop bet, then this upcoming season is the perfect time to start.

This NBA prop betting guide will help explain what this type of betting is, and it will also give you some tips on how to become a better bettor when it comes to this form of sports wagering.

What Is A Prop Bet?

A prop bet is unlike any other form of betting that is offered in the US sports betting industry. Most typical options focus on the outcome of a sporting event, but that isn’t the case with a prop bet. 

This form of betting focuses on events that occur during a game, and that is what makes this betting style unique. NBA prop betting started with only a handful of options, but that is no longer the case. There is currently a vast market for this type of wager, and new NBA prop betting options continue to emerge.

NBA Prop Betting Options

It’s hard to predict what NBA prop betting options will be offered individual sports options arens that are pretty standard. This list has continued to grow over the last few years, and that should be a common theme in the future. 

Here are some of the top NBA prop betting markets you will see in the sportsbook, but there could always be more added on a case-by-case basis.

NBA Draft Props

Before the NBA season even starts each year, the NBA Draft takes place. This has turned into one of the biggest nights on the NBA calendar, and it is also a great time to make an NBA prop betting wager. 

There are several different ways to bet on the NBA Draft, and all of the different options would be considered a prop bet. Here are some of the common NBA Draft options that you might see: 

  • Who will be the first player to be drafted overall?
  • Will the first player be from the United States or an international prospect?
  • Which conference will have the most first-round draft picks?

NBA Player Props

The most common NBA prop betting option that you will see, and also the most popular to make, is what is known as an individual prop bet. This is also called an NBA player prop bet, and it is a wager placed on a certain statistic for an NBA player.

Sportsbooks are going to have long lists for this type of wager as they are trying to get as much action as possible. Usually, only the top players in each game will be featured, but you can also find options for reserves as well. 

It’s hard to come up with potential options for this type of bet because there will be such a long list that is out there.

Team Prop Bet

A team prop bet is extremely similar to an individual prop bet, but it focuses on one team as opposed to just one individual. This has become a popular NBA prop betting option as some bettors tend to prefer wagering on a team rather than just looking at one player. 

There are times that sportsbooks will put each team in an NBA game against one another to come up with this type of prop betting option. Here are a few NBA team prop betting options that you might see:

  • Will the Los Angeles Lakers lead wire-to-wire?
  • Who will have more dunks in the game: Chicago Bulls or Detroit Pistons?
  • Will there be over/under 2.5 technical fouls for the Cleveland Cavaliers?

Full Season Prop Bets

One of the newest forms of prop betting that you will find is what is known as a full-season prop bet. This closely resembles a futures bet in traditional sports betting, and that has become a popular number of bettors to wager on the NBA.

With a full-season prop bet, most of the bets lock when the regular season begins. The final result of a full-season NBA prop bet isn’t revealed until the end of the season, so some patience is required for this type of bet. 

Here are some potential full-season NBA prop bets that you might see:

  • Will a center win the NBA MVP Award?
  • Will any NBA team win at least 70 games during the regular season?
  • Over/Under 2.5 sub-.500 teams that make the NBA Playoffs.

NBA All-Star Game Weekend

The NBA All-Star Game has transformed into a full weekend of festivities, and the sportsbooks in the United States have taken note. The All-Star Game itself is a big draw, but so are the Slam Dunk Contest and the Three-Point Shootout.

If you are someone who is looking to wager on the NBA outside of an actual game, then the All-Star Game weekend might be the perfect time for you. You will find a long list of NBA prop betting options during this time, and here are some that you might see:

  • Which participant will win the Slam Dunk Contest?
  • Over/Under 28.5 points was the highest score in the three-point shootout.
  • Who will win the NBA All-Star Game MVP Award?

Are You Looking For Fun Or Skill Options?

Now that you know some of the top NBA prop betting options that are out there, you also have to ask yourself another question: are you looking for fun prop bets, or do you want to use your NBA knowledge?

Pro actually got its start as a fun way to bet on the Super Bowl, but you can now wager on prop bets that require some knowledge and skill. Before you click the “submit” button on an NBA prop betting wager, it is important to know what type of bet you are making.

Fun Prop Bets

A fun prop bet is a way to get non-sports fans interested in making a wager on an NBA betting market. This type of prop bet doesn’t usually require any basketball knowledge to place the wager, and it focuses on events that take place off of the court. 

Here are some examples of potential fun NBA prop bets:

  • Will the NBA Championship coach have Gatorade poured on his head?
  • Will there be a Budweiser commercial during the first quarter?
  • Will a certain celebrity be sitting courtside for this NBA game?

Skill Prop Bets

Nearly all of the prop betting options that are listed above in the previous section would be classified under “skill prop bets.” These are wagers that focus on the action that takes place on the and require some basic or advanced NBA knowledge to win. 

If you are going to make a skilled NBA prop bet, then you are going to have to do some research. There can still be some “luck” involved in this type of wager, but the bettor will have a pretty good idea of how a certain game or event will play out.

NBA Player Prop Betting Tips

Now that you have read about some of the top NBA prop betting options that are out there, you are probably excited to get in on the action. Before you start making some NBA prop betting wagers, it is important to look at some tips or strategies that will help you be more successful with this type of betting.

Beware Of Load Management

The term “load management” is typically only used when it comes to the NBA, and it is a term that can have a huge impact on NBA prop betting. Load management refers to teams resting some of their strong efforts to keep them healthy and fresh for the postseason.

When top players are sitting out of games, it can have a big impact on NBA prop betting, especially when it comes to team betting options. This information isn’t always easy to find as you must search long and hard to find out what players might be missing.

Focus On Key Players

If you are planning on making an NBA prop bet on an individual player, then it is wise to only wager on the biggest stars for each team. Those are the players that will have the most information available, and that will allow you to do plenty of research.

It might seem tempting to bet on a reserve player to go over a certain number of points or assists, but you need to be certain that you have researched recent trends and analyzed that particular matchup.

Show Some Restraint

Finally, if you are planning on getting involved in NBA prop bets, you must show some restraint when it comes to betting. You are going to be overwhelmed with NBA prop betting options, but that doesn’t mean that you have to wager on each market.

It is important to use a smaller betting unit when you are making an NBA prop betting wager as this isn’t usually an easy bet to win. If you don’t like any of the NBA prop betting options that are listed, then it is best to take the night off and try again on another date.

NBA First Points Picks & Longshots

Our first basket plays, featuring a mix of shorter/longer odds

Quick note: Because success in the NBA is so dependent on news and making the correct reactions, it’s often prudent to wait for more clarity before making picks.

That’s especially true for a market like first basket, where starting lineups and even the smallest of changes can affect the best value.

The exception would be if you feel strongly that a certain player will/will not play and want to get ahead of potential line movement.

3 PM ET Update:

Since our initial post, both Trae Young and Joel Embiid have been ruled out. Karl-Anthony Towns is now probable. Tyrese Maxey and Paul George are appealing for first basket purposes against a Knicks team playing on a back-to-back.

Updated injury news:

Here are our top targets for tonight:

Donovan Mitchell First Points (+350) – Currently questionable, but expected to suit up. Cavs are favored by 6.5 and prop odds are posted for their star player. Averaging career-best 32.1 points and 22.7 field goal attempts per 36 minutes through 26 appearances (Basketball Reference).

UPDATE: Mitchell will not play tonight.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker First Points (+620) – NAW is worth considering as a first points play with Trae sidelined on the second game of a back-to-back. Kristaps Porzingis is also out. Through 26 games, Alexander-Walker is putting up 22.7 points on 16.8 field goal attempts per 36 (both career-highs).

Good luck!

Wednesday, December 17th

It’s another quieter day in the association, with only two games on the schedule. Come on, man! The NBA needs to load up these slower sports days with more action.

Most important injury situations for tonight:

Anthony Edwards (Q)
Ja Morant (Q)
Evan Mobley (OUT)

Opening tipoff win percentages so far this season (via BettingPros):

  • Cavaliers (63.0%)

  • DeAndre Hunter (23 starts, 17.4% first shot)

  • Nikola Vucevic (24 starts, 12.5% first shot)
  • Donovan Mitchell (25 starts, 12.0% first shot)

Where should we be looking with our first point selections?

NBA First Points Picks & Longshots

Our first basket plays, featuring a mix of shorter/longer odds

Afternoon Update (3 PM ET)

Since our initial post, Ja Morant has been downgraded to doubtful. That’s significant news on a two-game slate. As of now, the projected starting lineup for the Grizzlies is Williams-Coward-Wells-Aldama-Jackson Jr.

Cedric Coward (+1000) is an interesting first points play on the Memphis side if he ends up starting. He has been aggressive despite it being his first season in the league, averaging 17.8 points and 14.0 field goal attempts per 36 minutes (Basketball Reference).

We still don’t have more clarity about Anthony Edwards, who remains questionable due to a foot injury. The assumption is that he will play, but make sure to monitor his confirmed status.

Evening Update (6 PM ET)

Ant-Man has been ruled OUT. Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo become more intriguing for first basket picks.

As for the Bulls/Cavs game, we don’t love anything. If we had to pick, it’d be Donovan Mitchell first points at around +535 depending on the site. He’s averaging 32.0 points on 22.6 field goal attempts per 36 minutes through 25 games, both of which would be career-high numbers if the season ended today.

Good luck!

Tuesday, December 16th

It’s the NBA Cup Final, featuring the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. It should be a show as Victor Wembanyama and Jalen Brunson lead their respective teams for all of the marbles.

As far as first point plays go, let’s see if we can hit another winner after Jaylen Brown came through for us last night.

Most important injury situations for Tuesday:

Miles McBride (OUT)

Opening tipoff win percentages so far this season (via BettingPros):

  • Spurs (72.0%)
  • Knicks (48.0%)

Highest first shot percentages within this game:

  • Jalen Brunson (23 starts, 21.7% first shot)
  • Victor Wembanyama (12 starts, 16.7% first shot)
  • Devin Vassell (25 starts, 16.0% first shot)
  • OG Anunoby (16 starts, 12.5% first shot)
  • Harrison Barnes (25 starts, 12.0% first shot)
  • De’Aaron Fox (17 starts, 11.8% first shot)

Where should we be looking with our first point selections?

NBA First Points Picks & Longshots

Our first basket plays, featuring a mix of shorter/longer odds

Wemby returned in style in the NBA Cup Semis, dominating the Thunder in just over 20 minutes off the bench. He’ll still be on a minutes limit for the finals against the Knicks, but we’ve seen what kind of upside he carries. even in limited action.

His presence is also notable for first basket purposes, as he’s led the Spurs to a strong opening tip win percentage so far in 2025/26. He also has the team’s highest first shot percentage this season.

As we mentioned, Wembanyama did not start in the semis, and it hasn’t yet been announced whether he’ll be in the starting five tonight.

We’ll obviously need to track that news. Luke Kornet would likely start in Wemby’s place, making San Antonio less appealing from a first basket perspective.

If Wembanyama starts — he stated to the press that he was ready to rejoin the lineup — we like him to score the game’s first points at around +410. It’s the chalky pick, but he’s a generational player and will want to assert his dominance early. Wemby is averaging a career-best 27.7 points on 19.1 field goal attempts per 36 in his third season.

Monday, December 15th

There are five NBA games on tonight’s schedule, and we’re here to break things down from a DFS and betting perspective.

Most important injury situations for Monday:

James Harden (Q)
Anthony Davis (Q)
Zach Edey (OUT)
Jusuf Nurkic (OUT)
RJ Barrett (OUT)

Nurkic’s absence is noteworthy, as he’s guided Utah to a nice winning rate on opening tips.

Highest opening tipoff win percentages so far this season (via BettingPros):

  • Jazz (75.0%)
  • Grizzlies (60.0%)
  • Raptors (57.7%)
  • Heat (52.0%)
  • Nuggets (45.8%)

Highest first shot percentages on this slate (minimum of 15 starts):

  • Bam Adebayo (26.3%)
  • John Collins (25.0%)
  • Ace Bailey (20.0%)
  • Norman Powell (20.0%)
  • Lauri Markkanen (17.4%)
  • Jaylen Brown (16.7%)
  • Jaylen Wells (16.0%)
  • Kevin Durant (15.0%)
  • Cade Cunningham (14.3%)

Notable omissions due to lack of sample size:

Cedric Coward (12 starts, 41.7% first shot)
Anthony Davis (11 starts, 18.2% first shot)
Ja Morant (13 starts, 15.4% first shot)

NBA First Points Picks & Longshots

Our first basket plays, featuring a mix of shorter/longer odds

Quick note: Because success in the NBA is so dependent on news and making the correct reactions, it’s often prudent to wait for more clarity before making picks.

That’s especially true for a market like first basket, where starting lineups and even the smallest of changes can affect the best value.

The exception would be if you feel strongly that a certain player will/will not play and want to get ahead of potential line movement.

Jaylen Brown First Points (+510) – Payton Pritchard is currently questionable with neck spasms for tonight’s home game against the Pistons. Jaylen Brown has been a usage monster in the absence of Jayson Tatum and owns one of the highest first shot percentages on the slate (16.7%).

Teammate Derrick White is also interesting at longer odds (+740) given his increase in offensive responsibilities this season.

Kawhi Leonard First Points (+790) – James Harden is questionable to play, and his absence would increase Kawhi’s probability of scoring the first points.

Either way, we like the number here, as Leonard has been in the midst of one of his best scoring campaigns in years, having averaged 28.1 points and 20.8 field goal attempts per 36 in 15 appearances (Basketball Reference).

Sunday, December 14th

It should be a fun Saturday in the NBA, as there are a lot of games and interesting DFS/betting opportunities on the schedule.

Injury update:

Highest opening tipoff win percentages so far this season (via BettingPros):

  • Lakers (70.8%)
  • Suns (68.0%)
  • Nets (66.7%)
  • Cavaliers (65.4%)
  • 76ers (54.2%)

Highest first shot percentages on this slate (minimum of 15 starts):

  • Grayson Allen (35.3.%)
  • Andrew Nembhard (29.4%)
  • Luka Doncic (27.8%)
  • Dillon Brooks (22.2%)
  • Herbert Jones (22.2%)
  • Kon Knueppel (20.8%)

NBA First Points Picks & Longshots

Our first basket plays, featuring a mix of shorter/longer odds

Michael Porter Jr. First Points (+390) – Will continue to ride the MPJ train. The Nets’ starting five is horrendous and they need his shot creation desperately. It doesn’t hurt that Brooklyn won’t have to contend with Giannis, who’s been ruled out for the Bucks.

Deni Avdija First Points (+630) – We like the value on Portland’s best offensive player. The leash has been let off Avdija, who’s taken a huge jump in 2025/26. He’s averaging career-highs in minutes, points and field goal attempts ahead of Sunday night’s date with Steph Curry and the Warriors.

Good luck!

NOTE: Full analysis will return on Monday, December 15th.

Saturday, December 13th

Well, the picks were pretty on point yesterday. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

Michael Porter Jr. First Points (+475) – W
Paul George First Points (+640) – W
Nickeil Alexander-Walker First Points (+740) – W
Ace Bailey First Points (+890) – L

Bailey got the first shot attempt but couldn’t convert, preventing us from hitting an insane first points sweep. Oh well, not a shabby night!

Let’s see what is standing out for Saturday night in the NBA. It’s the NBA Cup semis, with the Magic taking on the Knicks and the Thunder battling the Spurs in Vegas.

Injury update:

Opening tipoff win percentages so far this season (via BettingPros):

  • Magic (76.0%)
  • Spurs (70.8%)
  • Thunder (68.0%)
  • Knicks (45.8%)

Highest first shot percentages on this slate (minimum of 20 starts):

  • Wendell Carter Jr. (25.0%)
  • Jalen Brunson (22.7%)
  • Jalen Suggs (20.0%)
  • Devin Vassell (16.7%)
  • Chet Holmgren (14.3%)

Notably, Victor Wembanyama is scheduled to return from injury. That’s a big boost for San Antonio’s chances of winning the tipoff, and Wemby himself has posted a 16.7% first shot percentage in 12 starts this season.

NBA First Points Picks & Longshots

Our first basket plays, featuring a mix of shorter/longer odds

Remember that both games are at a neutral site in Vegas!

Paolo Banchero First Points (+565) – Banchero has now had a few games to regain conditioning and confidence after a long injury layoff. His minutes since returning are trending nicely (20 -> 24 -> 32), and he’s coming off a productive 18-7-4 showing in a win over the Heat his last time out.

Orlando has been strong on opening tips early this season, and Banchero will continue to have an alpha role offensively alongside Desmond Bane with Franz Wagner sidelined.

Check back for potential late-adds, along with final plays and analysis.

Good luck!

NBA First Points Picks & Longshots

Our first basket plays, featuring a mix of shorter/longer odds

Michael Porter Jr. First Basket Scorer (+475) – The projected starting lineup for the Nets: Demin-Mann-Porter Jr.-Clowney-Claxton. Yikes. Porter Jr. has been chucking it, but for good reason, as he’s one of the only players who can consistently create offense on this abysmal team. He’s averaging a career-high 28.3 points and 20.5 field goal attempts per 36 minutes through 19 games (Basketball Reference).

Paul George First Basket Scorer (+640) – Maxey remains questionable for tonight’s favorable home matchup against the Pacers, and PG13 has had some nice scoring outputs early in games since returning to the court.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker First Basket Scorer (+740) – Lost in Jalen Johnson’s elite season has been NAW’s significant contributions. He’s done an amazing job filling the scoring void left by Trae Young’s injury — heading into tonight, he’s averaged 22.7 points (career-high number) and 16.7 field goal attempts per 36 minutes in 2025/26.

Ace Bailey First Basket Scorer (+890) – Want a wild one? Lauri Markkanen has been the top dog offensively for the Jazz and will be a popular NBA first points pick, but Bailey is intriguing as a longer-shot. If there’s one thing we’ve learned, he’s not afraid (whatsoever) to shoot. The ultra-confident rookie is averaging 13.9 field goal attempts per 36.

Check back later for finalized picks and analysis.

Good luck!

Best NHL Props Today – Top Player Picks & Analysis

Every day during the regular season and playoffs, we run through our favorite NHL player props of the night. Picks and analysis are typically posted by 2 PM ET daily.

Friday, December 19th

There are five games on the board for Friday night in the NHL. Let’s see if we can pick out some winners to start off the weekend right!

Highest team totals at time of writing (approximate):

COL vs. WPG (3.7)
DAL at ANA (3.4)
ANA vs. DAL (3.2)
NYI vs. VAN (3.1)
UTA vs. NJ (3.0)

Most popular players on the Underdog app:

The Avalanche have the slate’s highest implied team total. They are a ridiculous 24-2-7 so far this season, with Nathan MacKinnon pacing the team with 28 goals and 30 assists in 33 games. Dude’s on another unreal pace heading into tonight’s game against a Winnipeg team that’s been struggling.

Elsewhere, the Stars/Ducks game should have some fireworks. There will be a lot of offensive firepower on the ice, namely Jason Robertson, Mikko Rantanen, Wyatt Johnston, Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier. It looks like a strong game to target for fantasy.

Adjusted Goals Created leaders so far this season, filtered for players on this slate (Hockey Reference):

  • Nathan MacKinnon (58.9)
  • Martin Necas (40.1)
  • Jason Robertson (39.0)
  • Leo Carlsson (38.7)
  • Wyatt Johnston (38.5)
  • Mikko Rantanen (38.5)

NHL Player Props: A Complete Guide

The National Hockey League (NHL) is one of the four major professional sports in the US, but it isn’t as popular as the NFL or NBA. This is also true when it comes to sports betting, but the league has been making up some ground in recent years.

Prop betting is one of the best ways to bet on the NHL, as this is something every potential bettor can do. With prop betting, there is no need to focus on the outcome of a certain NHL matchup, instead, it looks at events that take place during the game.

This guide to NHL prop bets will point out the top options and also provide some NHL prop betting tips to become successful with this wagering style. For more on prop betting across all sports, take a look at the Props.com complete guide to prop betting.

Why NHL Prop Bets?

A prop bet is a term that is used often in the US sports betting industry and it stands for a propositional bet. This is a very unique form of betting, and it is one of the newer sports betting types offered by US gambling operators.

The reason for making a prop bet is to provide some additional entertainment and excitement when betting on sports. Instead of simply picking the winning team in a matchup, NHL prop betting provides many other betting opportunities.

The list of available NHL prop bets will continue to grow as time goes on, but there will always be some options that remain the most popular. These NHL prop betting options are similar to what you will find in other sports even though this league overall is not as popular.

When you are looking to make a prop bet on the NHL it is important to look over all of the available options to find the most valuable prop bet that you can find.

NHL Player Props

The most popular NHL props are known as player props. This is a wager that is placed on an individual player in an NHL game, but it can be on someone from either team.

When you are looking to bet on NHL player props, you will be looking at a specific statistical category to make the wager. This is similar to looking at fantasy points, and some bettors prefer to focus on just one player as opposed to an entire team or NHL game.

Here are some examples of NHL player props:

  • Will Patrick Kane score a goal in the upcoming game?
  • Over/Under 1.5 total points for Sidney Crosby.
  • Which player will record the first penalty in the game?

First NHL Goal Scorer Bet

Another popular NHL prop bet is the first goalscorer in a game. This can be a very exciting wager to make, and it can provide some good value as well.

When you are looking at the first goalscorer in an NHL game, you will need to look at both teams and find the player that you think has the best chance to score first. This can be based on many factors, but it is important to do your research before making this type of bet.

Team Prop Bets

Team props are similar to an NHL player prop bet, but the focus is now on an entire team’s performance. Team props are relatively new, and you likely won’t see as many options as you would for NHL player prop betting.

Sportsbooks sometimes like to put each team against one another when making an NHL team prop bet, which can add some additional excitement. Here are some examples of this type of bet that you might see:

  • Which team will record more penalty minutes?
  • Will the Washington Capitals record over/under 3.5 goals?
  • Over/Under shots on goal for the Carolina Hurricanes: 37.5

Season NHL Props

If you are looking to make a season prop bet on the NHL then you are someone that has no interest in focusing on just one single game. An NHL season prop bet is very similar to an NHL futures bet, and that is one of the most popular ways to bet on the league.

Future bets tend to focus on individual or team awards when it comes to the NHL, but an NHL season prop bet takes things a bit further. This is when you will be able to make a unique wager on a certain award and how it will be one.

Here are a few potential examples:

  • Will a team from the Eastern or Western Conference win the President’s Trophy?
  • Will the league MVP be over/under 26.5 years of age?
  • Will an American-born player win the league MVP?

All-Star Game Prop Betting

The NHL All-Star Game is not as popular as some of the other major professional sports, but it is still a celebration of the best hockey players in the world. This is a time that sportsbooks love to feature the NHL in a number of wagers, especially when it comes to prop betting.

Skills Competition

Before the NHL All-Star Game takes place, there are a number of different skills competitions that take place. The NHL has continued to change up the different skill competitions that are available, but sportsbooks are always offering prop betting options for whatever is available.

There are some unique events offered by the NHL, and these will all come with some unique prop betting options.

NHL All-Star Game

The actual NHL All-Star Game is one of the biggest events of the season for the league, and you can guarantee that sportsbooks are paying attention as well. You won’t find any other NHL event that has more prop betting options than the NHL All-Star Game.

Here are a few examples of some of the prop betting options you might see for this event:

  • Will a goaltender win the All-Star Game MVP?
  • Over/Under total goals scored in the All-Star Game
  • Will there be a penalty assessed in the NHL All-Star Game?

Choose The Right Kind

Nearly all of the NHL prop betting options below talk about skill wagers, but that isn’t the only available kind. Just like with any sport, you can also find fun NHL prop betting options throughout the season.

It is important that you know which type of prop bet you are looking to wager on, and you should become an “expert” at whatever type you choose. Feel free to bounce around between both options, but becoming great at one type will give you more success.

Fun Prop Betting

Most people think of “fun” prop betting options when looking for this type of wager, but that is no longer the only option. The Super Bowl used to have a wide range of fun prop betting options each year, and that bled into the NHL as well.

If you are going to make a fun NHL prop bet then you have to be prepared to have the outcome influenced by a little bit of luck. These fun NHL prop bets typically won’t have anything to do with the action on the ice, but will instead focus on other happenings.

Skill Prop Betting

A skill prop bet is similar to what takes place in all of the other sports bets that are made at the sportsbook. While there could still be some luck involved in a skill prop bet, most of the time this is won by doing some research.

A skill prop bet is won by making a wise bet rather than just guessing and hoping for some luck. The top NHL prop betting options that are discussed above would all fall under this category.

NHL Props & Betting Tips

Now that you have a better understanding of how NHL props betting works it is time to look at some NHL prop betting tips. You are free to come up with your own NHL prop betting strategies, but the information below should help you be more successful.

Check Goaltenders

The first thing you want to look at when studying an NHL game is the goaltending matchup that is set to take place. There are several factors that can dictate the outcome of NHL games, but goaltenders play a large role.

This doesn’t mean that you have to make an NHL prop bet on goaltenders, but they will always factor into whatever you decide to bet on. You won’t want to wager on a player to score a goal if they are facing a hot goaltender.

Small Unit Betting

Most sports betting experts will always recommend using the same betting unit when making a wager, but that doesn’t apply when it comes to prop betting. You don’t typically want to use a large unit when making an NHL prop bet because there are so many variables that could affect the outcome.

You might also find a number of NHL prop bets that you want to wager on for a specific game, and you won’t want to use a large unit for all of those bets.

Check The Injury Report

Hockey is a contact sport, but it is also a sport that is played by some of the toughest men on the planet. NHL players are known for playing through injuries, and teams don’t usually disclose too much information on the injury report.

This can make researching injuries pretty difficult, but you still need to find out as much information as possible. Even if a player isn’t listed on the injury report there is still a chance that they could be dealing with some sort of injury.

Find The Best NHL Betting Odds

It is also important to shop around for the best odds when you are placing NHL prop bets. This is because the lines and odds can vary greatly from one sportsbook to another. This is true for betting on NHL games as well as wagering on NHL player props.

For example, when looking across the prop betting market, you may find different odds for Sidney Crosby to score a goal. That’s why it pays to have multiple sportsbooks, so you can lock in the best odds to enhance your payout.
