NBA Player Props: 2 Best Bets for Monday, May 10

Today's NBA Slate features only 6-games, but we still have plenty of options to choose from for our player prop bets. As for the marquee game of the day, I'll go with Jazz-Warriors. Utah is favored by 3-points and the total is set to 226.5. With the season winding down, this is a big game for Golden State.

For today’s best NBA bets, player props are a fun way to wager on NBA games even if you don't like a side or total. I like to find matchups that I can exploit or good situations due to injuries. 

Let’s dive into a couple of these scenarios now.

Get all of BetQL's best bets for the NBA season! Dating back a full calendar year, our five-star (max-value) bets have won 61% of the time!

Jonas Valancuinas Over 12.5 Rebounds

Great matchup here for the Memphis big man. The Pelicans are badly banged up and will be missing both Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. Steven Adams might also be out for New Orleans, which would mean the team would be missing three of their best rebounders.

Valancuinas has been a beast on the boards this year. He is currently 3rd in the league in rebounding, pulling down 12.5 per game. Over his last nine games, he's grabbing 15 boards a game, and against the Pelicans, that number goes up to 16.5. He's also gone over this mark in five out of his last six games.

With the total set to 228.5, we will see plenty of rebounding opportunities here for him. I can see him getting to 15 as long as this game doesn't turn into a blowout.

Bogdan Bogdanovic OVER 18.5 points

He is averaging 21.8 points per game over his last eight games and gets a great matchup today against the Wizards. Defensively, Washington ranks 30th in points allowed and 28th in field goals allowed. He's also scored 20 or more points in nine of his last 13 outings.

Game script wise, this has the second highest total on the board and Washington likes to play fast so we should see a good pace. Both which should help Bogdanovic tonight.
