One of the nice things about NBA player props is that the action extends far beyond the game’s biggest stars. There are a total of 12 games on Wednesday’s NBA betting slate. With so many teams in action, perhaps it’s fitting that today’s featured player props consider three players who aren’t exactly considered to be superstars. All tickets cash the same, and these NBA betting picks are just as valuable at the window as any others. Tonight’s featured NBA player props include Jeff Green, Dwayne Bacon and Reggie Jackson.

NBA Betting Prediction: NBA Player Props | April 14
Jeff Green Over 1.5 Made 3-Pointers
Why not kick things off with some plus-money value on a 3-pointer prop? The Nets have been slowly getting healthy over the last few weeks. Naturally, the return of Kevin Durant, the addition of LaMarcus Aldridge and other factors have cut into Greens’ playing time. One look at the Nets’ injury report ahead of their showdown against the 76ers tonight explains the motive to bet over 1.5 triples for Green.
The Nets have made it clear that they are prioritizing the long-term health of their stars ahead of the NBA playoffs. Tonight’s game goes a long way toward deciding the top seed in the East, yet Brooklyn is willingly holding Durant, Aldridge and Blake Griffin out for the second of a back-to-back. With James Harden also remaining sidelined by injury, players like Green figure to see plenty of run.

Green has been sharp from long range on the season, shooting the 3-ball at a 41.5% clip. After a stretch in which he hit two or more 3’s in five of six games, Green has failed to connect on a 3 in two consecutive outings. Yesterday’s outing saw him play just 19 minutes, the lowest such mark since March 24. With so many players sidelined tonight, that number will come back up, as will Green’s usage. It’s worth a shot for a plus-money NBA betting payout.
Dwayne Bacon Under 11.5 Points
Whether the player in question on a given prop is a superstar or an also-ran, cash is cash. With that being said, bettors should have no hesitation in playing under 11.5 total points for Bacon tonight. Awesemo’s NBA Player Props Tool vehemently agrees.
It is unclear why Steve Clifford continues to give Bacon so many minutes. Season averages of 10.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists aren’t very impressive for a player averaging over 25 minutes per game, yet Clifford has had Bacon on the court for a minimum of 27 minutes in six of the Magic’s last eight games. In three of those, he played over 30 minutes. While it is true that he scored 14 points in the most recent contest, that followed up a run of four consecutive games in which he had 8 points or fewer.
Tonight, the Magic face a Bulls team that has been showing signs of improvement at the defensive end. The Bulls have successfully held five of their last seven opponents below 120 points, their season average for scoring defense. Yes, Orlando is still riddled with injuries. Even so, betting on Bacon to exceed his season points per game average by nearly 2 points is just ill-advised.

Reggie Jackson Over 4.5 Assists
The Clippers are playing the second leg of a road back-to-back tonight. After knocking off the Pacers last night, multiple Clippers stalwarts will be taking tonight off for injuries, aka load management. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have joined the longer-term absences of Serge Ibaka and Patrick Beverley on the Los Angeles. injury report. With the team’s top two stars out, other players will have to step up in their place. Add in the fact that Beverley is also out, and Jackson will be seeing plenty of run for the foreseeable future.
On the season Jackson is averaging 3.1 assists per game. Keep in mind that that number has come in just 22 minutes of action per night. After playing around 30 minutes in each of the last three games, Jackson supplied 7, 7 and four assists, respectively. Similar playing time tonight, combined with more emphasis on him to facilitate with Leonard and George out, make Jackson a good NBA betting choice to go over 4.5 dimes.
