Today's Top NBA Prop Bet Picks & Predictions, Monday 03/16 (Cade Cunningham Highlights): Stat Projections & Picks

As the Portland Trail Blazers gear up to face the Philadelphia 76ers, all eyes will be on Deni Avdija, but don't be surprised if he falls short of that 14.5 rebounds and assists mark. While he's been solid overall, averaging 10.8 rebounds and 6 assists in his last five games, his away performance tells a different story. On the road, his numbers dip to 10.4 rebounds and just 5 assists. Against the 76ers, Avdija has averaged only 5.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in away games, far below our target. Historically, he's managed to hit this high mark just 12 times in his last 17 away games. With the Sixers' defense tightening up, particularly at home, we can expect Avdija to struggle to reach that 14.5 threshold on Sunday. Betting the under seems like the smart play here.

Russell Westbrook (Denver Nuggets) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-152)

As we look ahead to the Kings versus Jazz matchup, targeting Russell Westbrook for under 5.5 rebounds feels like a smart play. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 3.2 boards, and when playing away from home, that number creeps up to only 4.4. The Jazz's frontcourt is no walk in the park; they've been limiting opponents to just 4.6 rebounds per game at home, and Westbrook's recent tussles with them have only netted him an average of 5 rebounds. Diving deeper, Westbrook has seen a perfect 8-for-8 hit rate on this under recently, which speaks volumes about his current rebounding struggle. With a model edge suggesting about a 60% chance he stays under, this bet feels like a solid move. In a game where the Kings will likely prioritize other aspects of their offense, Westbrook's rebounding output could very well take a back seat.

Ivica Zubac (LA Clippers) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-139)

As we look ahead to the matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers, Ivica Zubac's performance could be pivotal yet underwhelming in terms of rebounds and assists. Over his last five games, Zubac has averaged 9.2 rebounds and 2 assists, totaling just over 11 per game. When facing the Pacers, his statistics dip even further, where he's only managed 10 rebounds and 1.6 assists on average.The Bucks will likely focus on their perimeter play, which may limit Zubac's involvement in the paint. With the Pacers' frontcourt averaging 13 rebounds in their last five games, Zubac could struggle to hit the mark. Given these trends, betting on his combined rebounds and assists to stay under 12.5 seems like a smart move. The data suggests he's trending toward a quieter night, making this prop a solid choice for your betting slip.

Naji Marshall (Dallas Mavericks) Over 2.5 Assists (-159)

When targeting Naji Marshall for over 2.5 assists against the Cleveland Cavaliers, you're betting on a player in his groove. Marshall has been a facilitator of late, averaging 3.6 assists in his last five games. While the Cavs are a tough defensive unit, they've shown vulnerability to playmakers, and Marshall is riding a wave of confidence with a remarkable 10 out of his last 11 games hitting the over on this line. On the road, he's averaged 2.8 assists, and against Dallas specifically, he's managed at least 2.7 assists in their last encounters. With the Mavericks struggling to contain versatile players, the odds are in Marshall's favor to not only meet but exceed that 2.5 mark. If he continues to play with this level of aggression and vision, expect him to dish out some key assists as the game unfolds.

Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers) Over 4.5 Rebounds (-143)

As the Indiana Pacers gear up to face the Milwaukee Bucks, Myles Turner stands out as a solid candidate for the over on his rebounds prop at 4.5. While he's averaged 3.6 boards in his last five games, his away performances tell a different story-he's been grabbing an impressive 5 per game on the road. Turner thrives in these matchups, evidenced by his 7 out of 11 success rate in away games recently.The Bucks have a tendency to challenge the boards, yet Turner has consistently pulled down about 5 rebounds against them when playing away. With an expected stat value pushing over 5, the numbers align favorably for him to surpass that 4.5 mark. Given his current form and historical performance, it's hard to ignore Turner's potential to dominate the glass in this matchup.
