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 Holiday props below.
Under 7.5 Assists (-115, BetMGM)
One added element that bettors have at their disposal when handicapping Holiday NBA player props tonight is the fact that the Bucks just faced the Rockets 12 days ago. In that game Holiday outdid his per-game assists average of 6.4 with seven. While impressive, it still fell short of tonight’s NBA betting line, which sits at 7.5 assists. In fact, Holiday has failed to eclipse that threshold in four of the last six games. OddsShopper is quite confident that he will come up shy again tonight, pegging him for 6.73 assists. This translates to a solid expected ROI of 22% at the optimal -115 price.

Under 5.5 Rebounds (-141, Caesars)
The line of 5.5 rebounds for Holiday in tonight’s game is over one full rebound more than he has averaged this season. Holiday comes in averaging just 4.4 boards per game and has not topped the NBA betting line in any of the Bucks’ last seven games. This includes the previous matchup against the Rockets in which Holiday had just three rebounds over 35 minutes of playing time.
Along with displaying heavy juice on this under across the market, OddsShopper also shows one sportsbook has already moved the number down to 4.5 total boards. With more line moves potentially imminent, bettors should waste little time in playing under 5.5. OddsShopper gives this prop bet a 12% expected ROI at the current -141 price.
Over 19.5 Points (-120, PointsBet)
Like his rebounding total, there are again discrepancies in the line for Holiday’s total points across the betting market. While the majority of sportsbooks list this number at 20.5, some have deviated 1 point lower to 19.5. Awesemo projects Holiday for 20.76 points tonight, leading to a slight edge on the over. In addition to referencing OddsShopper for books offering this NBA player props line at 19.5, bettors must also check to make sure they bet at the best price available. Given the slim margin between the betting line and Awesemo’s projection, the price at which one makes this bet could be the difference between netting positive ROI value or not.
