Today’s NBA Player Prop Bets (March 25, 2023)

Bam Adebayo Double Double (-105 at FanDuel)

Before the all-star break, Bam Adebayo was a double-double monster with 28 of them. Since the break, the rebounding pace has slowed considerably, but that allows for a better number on the price in a strong matchup in Adebayo’s favor.

Since the break, Adebayo has had a slew of tough rebounding matchups, especially for a big of his skill set. He has faced the Knicks twice, Sixers twice, Cavaliers twice, Hawks twice, and Milwaukee all since the break, that is, 60% of games against negative matchups. Contrast that with the Nets, who are allowing the most rebounds and the sixth most points to Cs over the last two weeks. Nic Claxton is a smaller-bodied, agile center, closer to the profile of Adebayo but with even less strength.

In the last matchup against Brooklyn, Adebayo had 24 points and 13 rebounds in the last game before the break. It is fair to expect that starters could play even more minutes in this game with the importance of Miami and Brooklyn battling with each other for the sixth seed in the East and getting to avoid the play-in. Adebayo has averaged 34.6 minutes since the break, and with an extra day of rest heading into the game, he should be able to push into the high-30s and give himself even more rebounding chances to get to the double-double.

Risk: 1.05 units on FanDuel to win 1 unit. (Playable to -115)
