Underdog Fantasy Top NBA Props and Projections: Thursday, May 19th

Hopefully you took advantage of our Underdog promo code because each day during the NBA playoffs we will share the top picks on player props and NBA DFS projections for Underdog Fantasy, which has a props-based DFS game that allows you to parlay picks for cash payouts.

Below you will find today’s best bets based on the RotoGrinders CourtIQ Premium Projections model, which includes a play-by-play simulation to determine the odds that a prop on Underdog Fantasy will succeed. We’ve selected the top 10 props based on the latest NBA projections. Also make sure to sign up for RG Premium and use the RotoGrinders Underdog Fantasy Tool browser extension to get projections for every available player prop.

Please note that our Underdog Fantasy welcome offer is currently inactive, but you can get an even better offer — $250 BONUS + 5 FREE TICKETS — with our ThriveFantasy promo, another DFS prop site similar to Underdog. You can also use these same NBA projections to help make your NBA prop picks on their DFS app as well.

This table will update once prior to 2pm ET, and then again at approximately 4:30 ET, 5:30 ET, and 6:30 ET. You can expect at least these four daily updates.

We’ll keep track of the record of every pick graded above an 80, and let you know how successful we are on the recommended bets. The projections will change throughout the day, and we’ll rely on the closing line update at 6:30et to ensure our results are graded utilizing the most final and difficult standards possible.

How to Use Underdog Fantasy Top Props

The grade of each prop is set on a scale of 0-100, and you’ll normally be seeing props on the higher end of that spectrum. The closer to 100, the more confident our current projections are in the success of the bet. We generally recommend focusing on numbers above 75, although the majority of the options shown are very live and viable. You can use these model results in addition to your own research to find success daily on Underdog Fantasy.

Remember that the numbers are as of this most recent projection set, and could be impacted by injury situations and late news. Download the RotoGrinders app and subscribe to DFS alerts for all the latest info. Premium subscribers can access advanced injury information and detail in the LineupHQ optimizer and NBA DFS Injury Report each day.
