NBA Player Props Today – Tuesday, March 18, 2025

Giannis Antetokounmpo UNDER 6.5 Assists (-105, DraftKings)

Antetokounmpo has collected 7+ assists in each of his last 4 games heading into tonight’s action, but it’s unlikely that we continue to see him post such gaudy numbers as a passer. His surface-level stats have looked strong of late, but Antetokounmpo has not had more than 12 potential assists in a game since the first week of March, and he’s had 10 potential assists or fewer in 3 of his last 5 contests. The Warriors have allowed the 4th-fewest assists per game since Jimmy Butler arrived in early February – this could be a spot where we see Antetokounmpo finally experience some negative regression.

Jarrett Allen UNDER 13.5 Points (-120, bet365)

Allen draws a difficult matchup against Ivica Zubac, who is one of the best defenders in the entire NBA. Since the All-Star break, the Clippers have allowed the 3rd-lowest success rate on shot attempts in the restricted area, which is where Allen attempts the majority of his shots. Allen has gone under this number in 18 of 32 road games this season, including 14 of his last 20 road games with Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley active. If those guys are all on the floor this evening, the under is likely to have a good chance to cash.

Draymond Green OVER 9.5 Points (-105, BetMGM)

Green enters play on Tuesday averaging only 7.4 field goal attempts per game this season, but that number has gone up in games that Stephen Curry has missed this season. In the last 4 games that Curry has been inactive, Green has a pair of games with 11 field goal attempts and no games with fewer than 7 shot attempts. He’s scored 9+ points in each of those contests and 10+ points in 3 of those games. The math favors the over.
