Top player prop bets to consider

Here are targeted player markets from our Top NBA Prop Bets coverage. Each pick uses recent form and matchup context.

Isaiah Hartenstein — Over 15.5 points + rebounds (-118)

Hartenstein faces his former team for the second time this season. He logged 0 points and five rebounds in 16 minutes during the earlier meeting.

He missed a stretch with a calf issue but has played the last four games for Oklahoma City. In three of those games he posted 22-plus points and rebounds.

In his most recent outing, he finished with six points and 16 rebounds in 24 minutes against the Bulls. He averages 9.5 points and 9.6 rebounds in 42 games this year.

Karl-Anthony Towns — Over 30.5 PRA (-105)

Karl-Anthony Towns had 22 minutes in a Thursday loss to Charlotte. That game produced just 18 points, rebounds and assists.

Before that night, he recorded at least 31 PRA in 11 straight contests. He posted 35 PRA in the first matchup between these teams.

He has cleared this line in 17 of his last 20 games. Over those 20 games, he averaged 21.1 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists for 35.7 PRA.

Jalen Williams — Over 4.5 assists (-120)

Williams has missed much of the season but has been productive when available. His averages are 17.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists.

He returned about a week ago and registered six assists in 20 minutes versus the Sixers. He followed with 18 points and eight assists against the Bulls.

If he sees roughly 26 minutes in a tight game, he should be positioned to reach five assists.

Bonus parlay: Josh Hart — Over 12.5 points (+101)

Adding Hart’s points total as a fourth leg boosts a same-game parlay. Including this prop raises the combined odds to about +1200.

Hart scored 33, 16, 10, and 16 points across his last four games. Since March 1, he is averaging 13.8 points while logging heavy minutes.

With playoff intensity rising, Hart is likely to remain a primary scoring option for New York.
