3 Best NBA Player Props Today
1. LeBron James Under 23.5 Points (-120)
Nothing like taking the under on a guy who will be the all-time leading scorer until we colonize Mars. But that’s where we start today’s prop betting online, one day after the King helped the Lakers survive in Salt Lake City in a game that included a gem of a look.

James had 27 points in that one but was held under 20 points in each of his previous four games. That’s the longest such run since he was a rookie in 2003!!! For perspective, his teammate Bronny wouldn’t be born for another 10 months.
The haters jumped all over the slump as a sign of LeBron’s demise, and perhaps it is one indicator. While we’re not ready to go that far just yet, we do think his numbers could be low again on Monday against Minnesota.
James scored 16 points in the season opener against the Timberwolves, who enter seventh in the NBA in defensive scoring. He’s also playing the second night of a back-to-back. LeBron has gone for 21 points and 16 points, respectively, the last two times playing on no rest.

2. Trae Young Over 11.5 Assists (-107)
Trae Young barely kept alive his streak of games with five assists on Saturday at Charlotte, even seeming a bit preoccupied with it. Anyway, he got to that mark for the 181st straight time – the third-longest run in NBA history – so you’re guaranteed at least that when he goes up against the Pelicans on Monday.

New Orleans gives up 28.5 assists to opponents per game, which is third-most in the league. There will be plenty to go around for Young and company, and if you’re scared off by the five he got vs the Hornets then you should know he averaged 15.3 over the previous six games. You should also know that according to NBA betting trends, his totals in the last three vs New Orleans are as follows: 16 … 12 … 12.

3. Coby White Over 17.5 Points (-113)
The Chicago Bulls are averaging 125.6 points over their last five games so there’s always plenty of scoring to go around. Coby White strangely hasn’t been a big part of the mix, averaging only 14.4 in that span as he draws a lot of iron.
White has been such a consistent option for the Bulls over the last two seasons that seeing him have a downturn is a bit odd. It’s always going to be short-lived; he’s just too good to keep posting 3-for-11 nights like he did Friday against Boston.
The standout guard had 21 points in an earlier matchup with the Nets and has gone over the 17.5-point mark in our NBA betting lines in 13 of his 21 games overall (as well as four straight vs Brooklyn). This a great time for him to break out.

Question Of The Day
Is there a long-term bet online that looks interesting right now?
Occasionally we like to glance at the over/unders for wins at the BetUS Sportsbook to see what’s changed. Since we last told you to jump on the Hawks’ over, they’ve gotten hot. Now we’re eyeing the Bulls. As long as they don’t get blown up, an over on 29.5 wins isn’t the worst option. They are on pace for over 31 wins and have the easiest remaining schedule in the league, according to Power Rankings Guru.
Then again, they may just blow it up and aim for the lottery.
