Tuesday’s 8-game slate features 6 games with a spread of more than 1o points — not surprising this late in the season. Nonetheless, I’m looking to build on our 3-0 sweep last night. Let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for Tuesday, March 17, 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: Stephon Castle (SAS) Under 17.5 points (-113)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
There’s not much debate about who would go #1 in a 2024 redraft. Stephon Castle took home Rookie of the Year honors last season and has transcended into a star. He complements Victor Wembanyama while being one of the best backcourt mates to D’Aaron Fox. On the second leg of a back-to-back, the hope is that Wembanyama suits up against a tanking Kings team. The spread currently sits at 13.5 points, so it’s a perfect time for the Spurs’ core to see rest in the 4th quarter.
If you believe in revenge narratives, D’Aaron Fox is playing his former team in his old arena, only having played there once as an opponent. He could be in for a big game, ultimately leaving Castle as the 3rd option. In games where the Spurs are big favorites, rookie Dylan Harper has stood out. He is listed as questionable, as he has sat out the last 2 games, but if you’re looking to craft up a Same Game Parlay, fading Castle and backing Harper is a good starting point.
