Best NBA Player Props for Monday, March 2nd
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on Monday, March 2nd:
- Giannis Antetokounmpo Over/Under 19.5 Points
- Derrick White Over/Under 6.5 Assists
- Isaiah Collier Over/Under 7.5 Assists
Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 19.5 Points (-110, BetMGM)
BETMGMAntetokounmpo is likely to see his minutes monitored tonight following a 15-game absence for a right calf injury. That being said, he’s rejoining a Milwaukee team that is still fighting for a playoff spot. We should see a motivated and aggressive version of Antetokounmpo in this matchup. Boston defends well around the rim, but if Antetokounmpo plays close to 30 minutes, this number is simply too low.
Derrick White OVER 6.5 Assists (-135, Hard Rock)
HARDROCKAccording to CourtIQ, White is averaging 6 assists per 36 minutes. In 6 games with Brown inactive this year, White has 5 games with at least 7 assists and 5 games with 10+ potential assists.
Tonight, he gets to face a Milwaukee defense that allowed the 8th-most assists per game in February. If his teammates can knock down shots, White should have a good chance to clear this number once again on Monday.
Isaiah Collier OVER 7.5 Assists (-143, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSCollier has fallen short of this number in 4 consecutive games, but not for lack of opportunity. Over the weekend, he had 7 assists against the Pelicans, but he had 21 potential assists. He’s had 15+ potential assists in 8 of his last 10 games.
Denver allowed the 5th-most assists per game to guards in February. We could see Collier rack up dimes this evening in a favorable home matchup.
