I’ve picked out three prop bets from Thursday’s eight-game NBA slate.
The pregame narrative: Tyrese Haliburton has a prime opportunity to continue his strong play against the Washington Wizards tonight. I’ll also tail Paolo Banchero and Devin Vassell during their respective hot streaks.
Check out the best NBA prop bets for March 27.
NBA prop bets
Best Bet: Haliburton over 32.5 points/rebounds/assists (-112)
The Indiana Pacers’ point guard is back to the stat-stuffing version of himself.
Take a look at his averages over the past 12 games:
- 21.1 points
- 12.6 assists (10+ in every game)
- 3.4 rebounds
- 9-3 against this line
The scoring and passing numbers are well above his season averages, and I don’t expect him to slow down during the final stretch of the season.
On Thursday, he plays the Wizards, and they provide an excellent matchup for point guards. According to Fantasy Pros, Washington gives up the second-most points/assists/rebounds to the position (41.58).
Key stat: In two games vs. Washington this season, Haliburton averaged 20.5 points, 8.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds (33.5 PRA).
Best NBA picks
Banchero over 28.5 points (-110): This is quite a hefty line but Banchero could smash it with the way he’s been playing.
Over the past 13 games, he is averaging:
- 31.0 points
- 51.1% shooting
During that time, he’s 9-4 against this line with three different 40-plus point performances.
He comes into Wednesday off the back of four-straight games of 30 or more points and should continue feasting against the Dallas Mavericks’ defence.
The Mavs concede the fifth-most points per game to opposing power forwards (23.88).
Vassell over 17.5 points (-125): With season-ending injuries to De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama, someone had to step up and fill in the scoring role for the San Antonio Spurs.
That brings me to Vassell, who’s been torching NBA defences.
Since March 4, the dynamic guard has averaged 20.2 points per game on incredible efficiency (49.2% from the field, 44.7% from 3).
The biggest worry here is a blowout with the Cleveland Cavaliers being 15-point favourites at the time of writing.
However, Vassell played 30-plus minutes in 13 of the last 14 games, so I expect him to get his fair share of playing time regardless of the result.
