NBA player props: seven markets, one box score
Basketball's box score is long, and the prop menu follows it. Some lines are big numbers where a single basket rarely decides anything; others are counts of one or two where a single play does.
The seven markets we price
Bankroll Guardian prices seven NBA player prop markets across the books in our feed: points, rebounds, assists, threes made, steals, blocks and turnovers. Each shows the best available over and under, logs to your record in one tap, and is graded automatically when the game is final.
Big lines and small lines
- Points, rebounds and assists are larger counts. A half-point line can't push, and the result usually turns on several possessions rather than one.
- Steals, blocks and threes are small counts, where one play can decide the bet — and where a short run of results tells you the least.
- Turnovers are a mistake count: the under wins when the player keeps the ball.
Stats that move together
Props in the same game are often correlated. A fast game tends to lift points, rebounds and assists together; a lopsided score can cut every starter's minutes at once. Sportsbooks price same-game parlays knowing this, so a parlay of related legs isn't a set of independent bets, and its price isn't what multiplying them would give.
Before you read a prop price
Every price carries a break-even rate: 52.4% at −110, 60.0% at −150. Comparing that number with your own estimate of the outcome is the whole calculation, and a graded record of your props is how you find out whether those estimates hold up.
How they're graded
Bankroll Guardian grades NBA props from the final box score: the player's stat against your line. If the player doesn't appear in the box score, the bet stays pending rather than being guessed as a loss. Sportsbooks handle players who don't play differently, so check your book's rules.
