Best NBA Player Props for Monday, March 23rd

Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on Monday, March 23rd:

Jrue Holiday OVER 14.5 Points (-125, FanDuel)

Holiday has gone under this number in all 3 games he’s played this season without Jerami Grant, but it’s worth noting that he’s had 12 field goal attempts in 2 of those games. This season, Holiday has scored 15+ points in 22 of 36 games in which he’s taken at least 10 shots – an indicator that his inefficiency with Grant out of the lineup is likely an outlier in a small sample size.

The Nets rank 24th in defensive rating since the All-Star break. This is a good buy-low spot on Holiday.

Daniss Jenkins UNDER 7.5 Assists (-152, DraftKings)

Jenkins has managed 8 or more assists in 6 of 9 games without Cade Cunningham in the lineup this season, but he’s had 14 potential assists or fewer in each of his last 5 such contests. The Lakers defense has been close to the league average since the All-Star break. It’s doubtful that Jenkins will be able to continue racking up high assist totals without more potential assists. The under has value in a matchup that isn’t overly favorable.

Josh Giddey UNDER 7.5 Rebounds (+106, FanDuel)

Add this pick with 1 click!PLACE THIS BET ONFANDUEL

Giddey has been rebounding the basketball at an elite rate in recent weeks, but this is a brutal matchup for him. Since the All-Star break, the Rockets have allowed the fewest rebounds per game to opposing guards by a wide margin.

Giddey had only 10 rebound chances in his last game despite playing 37 minutes in a great matchup against the Cavaliers. This is a tougher matchup with greater risk of a blowout. The under is worth considering at plus money.
