NBA player prop odds best bets

There’s no better time to bet on basketball than the NBA playoffs. Stars up their minutes, coaches cut their rotations to keep their biggest names on the court, and the playoff series format guarantees repeat match-ups. That allows us to take advantage of potential mismatches and find the best value player props.

We’ll be providing you with daily NBA player prop bets throughout the 2025 playoffs, with expert analysis and breakdowns for each selection!

Today’s NBA Prop Bet of the Day

Pascal Siakam over 5.5 attempted free throws

For all Siakam’s qualities, he isn’t the best when it comes to shooting free throws. The forward has been getting to the line more consistently, while he should be happy that he made eight of his nine free throw attempts in Game 2.

Despite that fine return, the Thunder won’t likely be too concerned with sending Siakam to the line, given his 68.9% conversion rate in this postseason. That plays into our hands here, as does the fact we’re taking the attempts line, rather than made free throws.

For all his difficulties from the free throw line, Siakam has been a regular there of late. He has cleared this line in five successive games, while he’s attempted five or more free throws in his last nine postseason appearances.

Siakam has shot six and nine free throws across the first two games in this series, while he went 8-11 from the line in his last home appearance, on his way to a 31-point game and the Eastern Conference Finals MVP award. With his side in need of a result, back Siakam to be aggressive at getting to the basket, which should see him cover this 5.5 line.


What are NBA Player Props?

In addition to betting on games, which we cover in our daily NBA tips, player props allow you to predict how a player will perform in individual stat categories. The most popular bets tend to be over/under player props, which mostly revolve around points, rebounds and assists.

NBA prop lines appear a little after the main moneyline and spread odds. These are often linked to player stat lines from the regular season. Our NBA playoff betting strategy is focused on finding favourable matchups or increased minutes, which can help players to hit the over.

Underrated NBA playoff prop markets

The most popular NBA prop bets tend to be based around points + rebounds + assists (PRA). However, betting markets for player stats extend far beyond that. Throughout the NBA playoffs, you’ll find prop lines on other markets like threes made, steals, blocks and even turnovers.

NBA Prop Betting Tips for the Playoffs

There’s little doubt that the game changes from the regular season to the playoffs, which is something to consider for your NBA playoff prop picks. Teams shorten their rotations, cutting opportunities for players further down the roster. Stars have the ball in their hands much more, while the prospect of a seven-game series opens up an opportunity to bet focused on matchups between the two teams.
