The homestretch of the NBA regular season is officially upon us. We’re just 5 days away from things wrapping up, and there are battles all over the association for playoff seeding as teams look to avoid the Play-in Tournament. Among tonight’s hot contests are Hawks vs Cavaliers and Trail Blazers vs Spurs as part of an ESPN doubleheader. I’ve combed through each of today’s 7 games and have found my best NBA player prop bets for Wednesday, April 8, targeting that Blazers/Spurs matchup. Let’s break it down, while you can also get our expert NBA picks for every matchup through the rest of the regular season and playoffs.
Best NBA player prop bet: De’Aaron Fox (SA) over 20.5 points in Trail Blazers vs Spurs (-120)
Odds available at BetMGM at time of publishing.
San Antonio will likely be without both Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle tonight. Both are listed as doubtful, which should set the stage for a De’Aaron Fox masterclass. Fox averages 24.6 ppg in games without Wemby this year across 16 contests. The Spurs are just 3.5-point favorites here, which implies that this game should remain close. San Antonio technically isn’t locked into the #2 seed just yet and could still catch OKC for the top spot, so I expect starters to see a full workload. Portland has struggled all year with pick-and-roll ball handlers, and that’s where Fox really shines. I like him to step up tonight, and due to the circumstances, he should see heavier usage tonight than normal. Let’s roll!
