Best NBA Player Props & Betting Picks | Chris Paul

With OddsShopper, finding the best NBA betting player props is fast and simple. All users must do is filter the prop selections, sort the page and find the best pick to bet. The process is extremely quick and highly effective. Try out the tool for yourself tonight with the three featured Paul props below.

Under 4.5 Rebounds (+125, PointsBet)

On the surface, one might be inclined to believe Paul will have an uptick in rebounding production with both Deandre Ayton and Jae Crowder set to miss tonight’s contest. However, the opponent might have a thing or two to say about that. Even with reports also indicating that Jazz center Rudy Gobert may miss this game, Utah is still a very sound rebounding team. They rank second in rebounding rate coming into Monday’s contest. Paul will have a tough time getting inside to make a significant impact on the glass.

In addition to the matchup itself, the math on this NBA player props offering just doesn’t add up. Paul comes in averaging 4.3 rebounds per game this season, slightly below the betting line of 4.5. Yet, OddsShopper shows us a hefty return of +125 is available on the under. The chance to grab plus-money odds to that degree while making a pick that falls in line with Paul’s season average is too good to pass up. Even though Awesemo’s projections don’t give a huge statistical edge, the inexplicable price works to inflate the expected ROI to a massive 32%.

Over 9.5 Assists (-108, FanDuel)

Considering that Paul ranks third on the all-time NBA assists list, an obscure NBA betting line or difficult matchup is almost always necessary to play his props under. Such is not the case in OddsShopper‘s eyes this evening. The NBA player props market has Paul’s assist total set at 9.5. This is over one-half an assist lower than the 10.1 he has averaged per game on the season thus far. Paul has been on a particular tear recently as well. His 16 dimes in Saturday’s win marked the third straight game in which he has finished with 11 assists or more. Awesemo projects Paul for 10.45 assists tonight against what is likely to be a shorthanded Utah defense. The resulting win probability for the over on this prop bet is 62%. At optimal -108 odds, bettors can also score an 18% ROI.

Under 15.5 Points (-120, SugarHouse)

Rounding out tonight’s Paul NBA player props is a lean towards the under on his scoring total of 15.5. Although he has finished with no fewer than 15 points in each of Phoenix’s last three games, Paul is only averaging 14.1 on the season overall. OddsShopper shows that the NBA betting market clearly agrees with OddsShopper‘s under projection as the odds are juiced heavily in that direction. In fact, the best available price of -120 is as much as 15 cents lower than alternative listings. While this edge is not very large, the under is still determined to have a positive expected ROI of 5% when played at the most favorable odds.
