NBA Player Props Today – Monday, March 31, 2025
- Jordan Poole Over/Under 13.5 Points
- Malik Monk Over/Under 6.5 Rebounds + Assists
- Jaylen Brown Over/Under 4.5 Rebounds
Jordan Poole OVER 13.5 Points (-140, bet365)
Poole has clearly fallen out of favor in Washington’s rotation late in the season, but this is still too low of a number for someone averaging 20.3 points per game. Even with reduced minutes in March, Poole is averaging 17.4 points per game.
Since the All-Star break, Miami’s defense has only been around the league average, so this isn’t a particularly prohibitive matchup for Poole. Efficiency is seemingly always an issue with Poole, but this is a very playable number for someone who is rarely shy about getting up his shots.
Malik Monk OVER 6.5 Rebounds + Assists (-140, DraftKings)
In 2 games since returning from the injured list, Monk has gone under this number twice. However, he still had 13 rebound chances + potential assists on Saturday and 12 rebound chances + potential assists last Thursday, so the opportunities have still been there despite being on a workload restriction.
On Monday, he should see his workload creep up near the 30-minute mark after playing only 23 minutes and 17 minutes in his past 2 games. Since the All-Star break, the Pacers have played at a top-10 pace, which often leads to allowing a lot of rebounds and assists based on volume alone. During that span, Indiana has allowed more rebounds and more assists than the league average to opposing guards.
If Monk sees close to 30 minutes this evening, he should have a good chance to get the job done.
Jaylen Brown OVER 4.5 Rebounds (-135, bet365)
Brown has gone under this number in each of his last 3 games, but part of the reason for that can be attributed to the fact that he’s played 30 minutes or fewer in each of those games. Tonight, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Brown get a little bit more run, facing a legitimate playoff team.
This season, Brown has recorded 5+ rebounds in 11 of 16 games in which he’s played 30+ minutes with the rest of Boston’s starting 5 action – including each of his last 9 such contests. If he sees a more normal allotment of minutes this evening, he should have a good chance to make an impact on the glass.
