Here are our favorite NBA prop bets for Monday, March 13 (odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook): 

Minnesota Timberwolves at Atlanta Hawks (-5.5, 244.5)

It’s a little wild to see Mike Conley’s assist total down at 6.5 in tonight’s meeting with the Hawks. This game has one of the highest point totals you’ll see, with it currently sitting at 244.5. That means this is expected to be a game that is extremely high in scoring, which isn’t surprising considering both teams are top 10 in the NBA in pace. They both want to get up and down the floor in a hurry, and that should make it rather easy on Conley to spot easy opportunities for his teammates.

Conley’s assist numbers haven’t jumped off the page since he arrived in Minnesota, but he is averaging 8.2 potential assists per game in that time. Now, he has a matchup that should produce a lot more than that, and we see his teammates cashing in a little more in this one. The plus-money odds only make it more enticing.

Bet: Conley Over 6.5 Assists (+120)

Milwaukee Bucks (-2, 244.5) at Sacramento Kings

De’Aaron Fox is averaging a career-high in rebounds per game this season, as he’s pulling down 4.2 boards per game. That alone makes it hard to lay off the 25-year-old to grab at least four tonight, as it’s something he has done more often than not this season. Also, according to our Daily Prop Analyzer, Fox has gone Over a 3.5-rebound total in 39 of the 59 games in which he has had one. That’s a 66.1 percent hit rate.

We should also note that Fox has been even more productive as a rebounder in recent months. The lefty superstar has pulled down at least four boards in 13 of his last 19 games coming into this one, and that makes it hard not to back him to reach the number again on Monday.

It also doesn’t hurt that this game has a total of 244.5 tonight. Of course, that means there will be a lot of shots made. But it also meant the game will be played at a very fast pace, which means more possessions for both teams. That should come with more misses, which only means more rebounding opportunities.

Bet: Fox Over 3.5 Rebounds (-165)

 

Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors (-4.5, 236)

With Kevin Durant out for the Suns, Phoenix now has more minutes to go around. That should mean an increased role for Josh Okogie, who played 35 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Sacramento Kings. That was the first game the Suns played without Durant, so it’s a good sign to see Okogie getting that much playing time.

The 24-year-old has constantly delivered for the Suns this season, but he has been especially impressive offensively when he has gotten at least 30 minutes. Okogie has played 11 games this season in which he has hit that minute mark, and the former Georgia Tech standout has scored at least 15 points in nine of those 11 contests.

Look for this to be another game in which Okogie scores quite a bit, and we only need him to score 14 tonight. He can easily cash this by knocking down a couple of corner threes, but he’s also going to be a threat to score some points off offensive rebounds. He’s a menace on the offensive glass, despite being only 6-foot-4.

Bet: Okogie Over 13.5 Points (-110)
