3 Best NBA Players to Bet on Today

Who are the Top NBA Players to Bet On?

While the NBA is in off-season, it’s the perfect time to do some research. Use a wealth of NBA stats and figures to see who went into the play-offs in the best shape. Plus, in an Olympics year, you can keep tabs on which NBA stars have been lighting up Paris in the Olympic Men’s Basketball games. 

Start by finding some value in the futures markets. Here you can find value in the odds markets with many bookmakers, months before the regular season starts. The top bookmakers let you cash out futures bets if things are going your way down the line. 

Here are three players who had a stellar 2023–2024 season. We feel they are poised to do good things in the 2024–2025 season, and therefore offer value in the player props markets. 

1 – Luka Doncic

• Most goal attempts for 2023-24 (23.6)
• 33.9 points per game for 2023-24
• Tied 4th for all-time NBA GP record (73 pts vs Phoenix)

Slovenia’s Luka Doncic ended the 2023–24 season with the most goal attempts of any player at 23.6. He also racked up a 33.9-point average across the season. 

The Dallas Mavericks star’s prowess in the NBA couldn’t translate to the Olympic Games, however. His Slovenia side exited at the semi-finals of the Men’s Olympic  Basketball qualifying competition. Doncic slammed in 21 points during the loss against Greece.

2 – Jalen Brunson

• Highest GP in NBA
• 28.7 pts per game 2023-24
• 29.7 average in the Conference Semis

Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks finished the regular 2023–24 season atop the GP table. He carried his form into the Conference semis, racking up a 29.7-point average across the seven games versus the Indiana Pacers. 

Certainly, Jalen Brunson was a top pick in the Over/Under points props, as he scored over 25 points in all but two of the semi-finals. Brunson also finished the season with a 6.7 APG stat for the Knicks. 

3 – De’Aaron Fox

• 74 GP during 2023-24 season
• 1.5 average on 3-pointers
• Strong Over/Under props prospect for Sacramento Kings

For Total Points prop bets last season, you needn’t have looked further than De’Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings. Fox scored 74 GP for the 2023–24 regular season, up from 73 the year before. 

The Kings point guard’s 3-point percentage of 36.9 was the best of his career. Overall, Fox has a per-game average of 1.5 three-pointers – something to note in the new season if you’re betting on the Over/Under player props.
