NBA Tuesday is a sneaky good with slate with 6 of 7 games having a spread of fewer than 6-points. Yet, the Pistons, Mavericks, Pistons, and Cavaliers are on the second leg of a back-to-back, so be prepared for injury news to drop. Let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for Tuesday, March 31, while you can also find out our expert NBA picks for tonight’s matchups and every game throughout the season.
Best NBA player prop bet: Jakob Poeltl (TOR) Over 10.5 points (-115)
Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing
The Toronto Raptors have been one of the surprise teams in the NBA this season, currently holding the #5 seed in the Eastern Conference by a tiebreaker over the Hawks. They have a big-time game against the Pistons tonight, who are on a back-to-back and have injury questions that need to be answered before we fully dive into it. But we know one thing: Jakob Poeltl over 10.5 points is my top player prop bet of the slate.
The Raptors have already announced Immanuel Quickley for tonight, while Brandon Ingram is listed as questionable. That would open up massive usage for Poeltl, who has the makings of playing 30+ minutes in a close game.

NBA player prop bet: Ryan Rollins (MIL) Over 6.5 assists (-114)
Odds available at NoVig Sportsbook at time of publishing
The Milwaukee Bucks have already been eliminated from playoff contention, and likely the last time we see Giannis Antetokounmpo suit up this season. Not only will Antetokounmpo be unavailable tonight, but so will Kevin Porter Jr. and Bobby Portis, with Kyle Kuzma listed as probable. Rollins failed to suit up in the last game, missing the second leg of a back-to-back, but will be ready to go tonight versus the Mavericks, who played last night.
With all the injuries to the Bucks, Rollins usage should be through the roof, especially with the trio of Antetokounmpo, Portis, and Porter Jr out. With the 3 of them off the floor, his usage increases by nearly 10%. Apart from the on-floor reasoning, we’re backing a price that is 14 cents better than FanDuel and 25 cents better than DraftKings.
