What are NBA player props

An NBA player prop is a bet on a specific stat for one player in one game: for example, whether he will score more or fewer than 24.5 points. It does not matter who wins the game, only what that player does.

Every prop has three elements: the player, the market (points, rebounds, assists, threes, or combos such as points + rebounds + assists) and the line. If the player clears the line the Over wins; if he falls short, the Under wins. Half-point lines (.5) rule out a tie.

To analyse a prop look at three things: how often the player cleared that line in his last 10 games and over the season, how much the opponent allows to his position, and how many minutes he is likely to play. BucketsBase shows all three on each player page and on the NBA props page.
