April has arrived, and we’re just a week and a half away from the NBA regular season wrapping up and shifting our attention to the postseason. Teams are jockeying for playoff seeding and to avoid the NBA Play-in Tournament, and we’ll get a matchup proving just that with Celtics vs Heat on ESPN at 7:30 pm ET, which is followed by Spurs vs Warriors at 10:00 pm ET. I’ve cast my eye on all 9 games today and have picked out my best NBA player prop bets for Wednesday, April 1. Our player props experts are on a HUGE 8-2 run, so let’s keep that momentum rolling tonight! You can also find out our expert NBA picks for every matchup throughout the season.
Best NBA player prop bet: Jamal Murray (DEN) over 6.5 first-quarter points in Nuggets vs Jazz (-130)
Odds available at BetMGM at time of publishing.
The Nuggets enter this game as 17.5-point favorites, so just targeting the first quarter feels like the play for any overs. Jamal Murray has been lethal in the 1st quarter, hitting this mark in 5 of his last 7 games. His 2 misses were both heartbreakers, ending with exactly 6 both times. He is averaging 9.8 first-quarter points over his last 7 games. He finds himself against a Utah team that allows the 3rd-most points to point guards and the 2nd-most three pointers made to the position. I believe 3 early made shots should bring us home, given how susceptible the Jazz are to the long ball. I expect an early flurry from Murray. Let’s roll!
