Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker highlights the top NBA prop picks for Wednesday’s busy 11-game slate.
The pregame narrative: Booker has a great matchup against the Chicago Bulls and I expect him to score plenty. I also have plays on Luka Doncic and Devin Vassell.
Check out the best NBA prop bets for March 19.
NBA prop bets
Best bet: Booker over 26.5 points (-125)
This is a big number and there’s blowout concern.
Phoenix is a 6.5-point favourite, has a pair of 15-plus point wins in its last three games and the Bulls allow the third-most points per game in the NBA.
That said, the Suns give a lot back on the defensive end and have been maddeningly inconsistent this season.
Bradley Beal is also out, taking away the team’s No. 3 scoring option. And when Beal sits, Booker produces more.
- Booker is averaging 25.7 PPG, a number that spikes to 28.6, per StatMuse, with Beal on the sidelines (over 20 games).
- The Bulls play at the NBA’s third-fastest pace, which could lead to a lot of bucket exchanges between two teams that aren’t great defensively. Tonight’s total (234.5) is among the highest of the slate.
- Booker is likely staring down roughly 40 minutes and 20 shot attempts. Several of those jumpers are sure to be from the perimeter (Booker is averaging a career-high 7.6 attempts/game).
The Suns all-star dropped 29 on the Bulls last month, canning four triples.
There’s huge scoring upside here. He’s hit the 35-point mark six times without Beal and all three of his 40-plus-point games have come with his teammate inactive.
Key stat: Booker is 12-8 vs. this line when Beal is out.
Best NBA picks
Doncic over 9.5 rebounds (+108): There’s some solid value here as a plus-money play against the Denver Nuggets.
The Lakers star has cleared this line in three of his last four games — the only four he’s played without LeBron James since joining Los Angeles.
Doncic is averaging 10.8 rebounds per game over that stretch and reached the 40-minute mark twice.
He played the Nuggets in his fourth game as a Laker and corralled 10 boards, one of seven times he’s done so in his last 13 games.
Doncic had nine rebounds in a pre-trade meeting against Denver in November and was 3-0 vs. this line in this matchup last season.
Vassell over 2.5 threes (-117): How good has Vassell’s March been?
Take a look:
| Stat | 2024-25 | March |
| PPG | 16.1 | 19.6 |
| 3PM | 2.3 | 3.1 |
| 3P% | 35.3% | 38.7% |
| FG% | 43.7% | 47.5% |
With Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox both out for the season, the touches and scoring opportunity should remain there for the San Antonio Spurs’ fifth-year guard.
Vassell has attempted at least seven shots from deep in all but one of his 10 March games, clearing this line six times.
There’s little reason to believe he won’t be uncorking against the New York Knicks, who are 28th in the NBA in opponent 3-point percentage.
