Today's Top NBA Prop Bet Picks & Predictions, Wednesday 03/18 (Brandin Podziemski Highlights): Stat Projections & Picks

As the Raptors gear up to face the Bulls on Thursday, all eyes should be on Immanuel Quickley, particularly when it comes to his assist totals. While he has averaged a respectable 7 assists over his last five games, the numbers tell a different story against this specific opponent. Quickley has managed just 4.4 assists per game when facing the Bulls, and even in away games, he's only hitting the mark at 5 assists.With the Raptors' offense shifting gears, the ball might not be in Quickley's hands as much, especially in a high-pressure away environment. Additionally, his hit rate for going under this threshold has been impressive, with 12 out of his last 17 road games finishing below 6.5. Given these trends, betting on Quickley to fall short of 6.5 assists feels like a savvy move.

Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors) Over 7.5 Points (-127)

As the Warriors roll into Boston, all eyes should be on Draymond Green to make an impact on the scoreboard. The versatile forward has averaged 12 points in his last five road games, showcasing his ability to step up when the lights are brightest. In fact, he's hit the over on 7.5 points in all four of his recent away contests. Against a Celtics team that can be aggressive defensively, Green thrives as a playmaker, often finding gaps in coverage that allow him to score.Additionally, while facing the Celtics, Green has averaged around 9.2 points in their last five matchups, and with his recent surge-hitting the over in six of his last seven games-there's strong momentum behind him. With an expected stat value pushing into double digits, the over on 7.5 points feels like a smart bet. Expect Draymond to play a pivotal role in this battle, both on defense and, crucially, on offense.

Kawhi Leonard (LA Clippers) Over 3.5 Assists (-164)

As the Clippers gear up to take on the Pelicans, all eyes should be on Kawhi Leonard, especially when it comes to his assists. Over the last five games, he's averaged a solid 5.2 assists, showcasing his ability to facilitate plays in crunch time. The matchup against New Orleans could be particularly fruitful; they tend to allow around 2.8 assists to opponents at home, creating a favorable environment for Kawhi's playmaking. With a hit rate of 66.7% on his last six games, Leonard is in a groove, showing his knack for not only scoring but also spreading the ball around. Given the implied probability of 62.1% for him to exceed 3.5 assists, it feels like a safe bet to trust Kawhi to deliver the goods and keep the Clippers' offense humming. Expect him to be a pivotal force in this matchup, making the Over on his assists a smart wager.

Derrick White (Boston Celtics) Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (-127)

As the Boston Celtics prepare to face the Golden State Warriors, all eyes should be on Derrick White, especially when it comes to his points and rebounds total. Playing at home, White has been nothing short of impressive, averaging 20.4 points and 4.2 rebounds over his last five games. Digging deeper, at TD Garden, he's upped his game to 19 points and 6.6 rebounds in those same outings.Against the Warriors, who have struggled defensively, White's recent numbers are even more promising. He's hit the over on this prop in five of his last six games, and he's been a model of consistency at home, going 3-for-3 recently. With an expected stat value of 22.31, it's clear that White is poised to exceed the 19.5 mark comfortably. Trust in his ability to shine in front of the home crowd, and take the over on this prop bet.

Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors) Over 12.5 Points + Assists (-132)

With the Warriors heading to Boston, Draymond Green's all-around game becomes crucial, especially in a high-pressure environment. His recent form is impressive, hitting the over on points and assists in six of his last seven outings. On the road, he's averaging a solid 12 points and 4.6 assists, which puts him right at the edge of our target line.Against the Celtics, Draymond's stats against them in recent matchups show he can rise to the occasion, typically scoring around 9.2 points and dishing out about 4.2 assists. However, he's stepped it up away from home, hitting over 12.5 in every one of his last four away games. With the Warriors likely looking to counter Boston's defensive schemes, expect Green to play a pivotal role, creating opportunities and putting up numbers. It's a good bet that he'll surpass that 12.5 mark, making this a compelling prop to consider.
