NBA Player Props Today – Monday, March 24, 2025
- Kevin Durant Over/Under 25.5 Points
- Paolo Banchero Over/Under 27.5 Points
- Nick Richards Over/Under 8.5 Rebounds
Kevin Durant OVER 25.5 Points (-115, DraftKings)
Since Bradley Beal last played on March 16, Durant is averaging 27.3 points per game as the team’s clear No. 2 scoring option. He enters play on Monday on the heels of a 42-point showing against the Cavaliers on Friday, in which he attempted 29 shots – 12 more than any other player on the Suns. Durant is unlikely to see that much volume on a nightly basis, but he remains one of the most efficient scorers in the entire NBA and should have no trouble getting near 20 field goal attempts most days given Phoenix’s lack of depth on their current roster. He should have every chance to make an impact on the offensive end of the floor this evening at home, where he is averaging 27.7 points per game this season.
Paolo Banchero UNDER 27.5 Points (-125, bet365)
Banchero has been on a scoring tear of late, averaging 30.6 points per game since February 25 on a team-high 20.9 field goal attempts. That being said, the market has finally adjusted to his recent run of elite production. Tonight, he will have to contend with a Lakers team that is expected to have LeBron James on the floor once again. In 10 games from February 19 to March 8, the Lakers’ defense allowed the fewest points per 100 possessions in the entire NBA. They had a rough showing on Saturday, with James reintegrating into the lineup, but we should see a much better effort from them on Monday. Banchero could struggle.
Nick Richards UNDER 8.5 Rebounds (-130, DraftKings)
Entering play on Monday, Richards is averaging 7.5 rebounds on 14.5 rebound chances per game for the Suns in March. That being said, his opportunities on the glass have been more inconsistent across his last few games, with 11 rebound chances or fewer in 3 of his last 5 trips to the hardwood. Tonight, he will have to contend with a Milwaukee team that has done a good job keeping opposing centers off of the boards in recent weeks, only allowing 1 opposing center to have 10+ rebounds against them this entire month. The under has some value.
