With several of the NBA’s biggest stars scheduled to play, there are plenty of great player props to choose from, but the following are my top choices for Thursday, April 2.

NBA Best Player Prop Bets for Thursday, April 2

Phoenix Suns vs. Charlotte Hornets

• Dillon Brooks, UNDER 14.5 Points: -105 (bet365)

Brooks is averaging 20.5 points per game this season, but he just made his return from a long stay on the injured list. Tuesday night against Orlando, Brooks scored nine points on 4-13 shooting in 22 minutes. If the Orlando game is any indication, the team may not be in a hurry to get him back to his season average of 30.4 minutes per game.

Without more time, he is going to find it difficult to get enough scoring opportunities to go OVER this TOTAL, especially against this Charlotte defense.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

• Luka Dončić, OVER 31.5 Points: -120 (bet365)

Normally, I would preach caution regarding the OVER for such a high number, but not for Luka Dončić. He averaged 37.5 points per game in March (16 games) and scored 40+ in seven of them, including his last three. Dončić has gone OVER this number in eight straight games.

Yes, the Thunder defense is stingy, but Luka is on a roll and taking the shots necessary to hit the OVER, even against the OKC defense in Oklahoma City.

• Luka Dončić, OVER 4.5 Made Threes: +120 or 4+ made threes at -185

This number is insane, right? I had to double-check it to make sure I was seeing it right. It looked like something better suited for Steph Curry or Klay Thompson back during the Splash Brothers Days. But then I checked out Luka’s stat lines for the last month.

He averaged five threes per game in March and hit over 4.5 threes in seven games and more than seven in four games. His shot percentage for the month was an incredible 39.2%. So, it is not inconceivable that he goes OVER this mark. At +120, I’d call it a solid value play. But if you are unsure, consider taking 4+. The price isn’t as good, but he made 4+ in 12 of 16 games last month. So, there is a greater chance he’ll cover that number despite playing a solid defensive team.

• Luka Dončić, OVER 12.5 Attempted Threes: +100

If you are thinking about betting on how many he’ll make, then you should definitely consider how Dončić has gone OVER this mark in 5 of his last 7 games and in 9 of 16 in March. In those nine, he hit 4+ in eight of them. At +100, I’d call it another solid value play.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Los Angeles Clippers

• Victor Wembanyama, UNDER 25.5: -112 (bet365)

It is really easy to convince yourself that he’ll cruise OVER this mark. He is coming off back-to-back 40+ point games and has gone over it in four of his last five. But he is 1-1 vs. the Clippers, with him going over it at home and under it in LA. The Clippers are playing well at the moment, winners of five of their last six and with the third-best defensive rating in the league over the last five games.

I’m not doubting his ability, just giving the Clippers credit for being one of the better defensive teams in the NBA.

• Victor Wembanyama, OVER 3.5 Blocks: +135 (bet365)

He has fallen off his pace a little, going UNDER it in his last three and in 5 of his last 7. But he has still gone over this mark in 9 of his last 15 games, and is averaging 3.1 per game. Teams are averaging 4.5 blocks per game against the Clippers. He recorded four in each of San Antonio’s prior games vs. the Clippers.

• Kawhi Leonard, UNDER 27.5 Points: -120 (bet365)

Leonard is averaging 28.1 points per game. He has gone OVER this mark in 10 of his last 15 games but UNDER in 4 of his last 7. Part of me would like to think a star like Leonard will step up in a big game like this. He scored 30 vs. the Spurs last month. But San Antonio’s defense has been clamping down hard on opposing teams lately. It has the second-best defensive rating in the league over the last ten games.
