NBA Player Props Today – Tuesday, March 4, 2025
- Mikal Bridges Over/Under 14.5 Points
- LeBron James Over/Under 8.5 Assists
- James Harden Over/Under 24.5 Points
Mikal Bridges OVER 14.5 Points (-110, DraftKings)
Bridges had only 5 points in Sunday’s loss to the Heat, but he still attempted 11 shots – his 6th consecutive game with double-digit shot attempts. During that stretch, he’s attempted 13+ shots in 5 games, scoring at least 13 points in all but 1 of those games. Bridges enters play averaging 17.4 points per game this season, and he even averaged 15.2 points per game during a down February. This is a playable number.
LeBron James UNDER 8.5 Assists (-145, bet365)
LeBron has seemingly enjoyed playing alongside Luka Doncic, but his role as a facilitator has taken a slight hit since the arrival of his new costar. In 8 games with Doncic active, James has only 2 games of 9+ assists. Notably, he’s had 12 potential assists or fewer in 5 of the 8 games that they have shared the floor, which limits LeBron’s likelihood of high assists numbers on a nightly basis. The Pelicans are not a defense that does a good job disrupting ball movement, but Doncic is more than capable of playing the role of primary facilitator for the Lakers tonight.
James Harden UNDER 24.5 Points (-135, DraftKings)
Norman Powell has been ruled out for tonight’s matchup against the Suns, but his absence alone isn’t enough to justify a points prop this high for Harden. In 13 games played without Powell this season, Harden has scored 25 points in only 4 games. Phoenix’s defense is most vulnerable against athletic wing players, as we saw the other night when Anthony Edwards torched them for 44 points. Harden, more of a finesse player at this stage of his career, is unlikely to find as much room to operate.
