Spurs vs Thunder Game 6 Props: Best NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets Today

Chet Holmgren Under 13.5 Points (-102)

Although Chet Holmgren is coming off a 16-point effort in a key Game 5 win, him to go under 13.5 points tonight is my favorite player prop for Game 6.

For the series, Holmgren is averaging 12.2 points per game and just hasn't had that big of a role, taking only 8.2 shots per night. He's topped 28 minutes in only three of the five games and has played more than 30 minutes just once (in the double-OT Game 1).

Having to deal with Victor Wembanyama's interior defense makes this a rough matchup for Chet, and even though the Oklahoma City Thunder have been short-handed -- check out player news page for Game 6 injury news -- Holmgren just isn't super involved offensively.

He averaged 12.0 points and 7.5 shots per game in the two previous matchups in San Antonio, and I think he'll have another quiet night.

De'Aaron Fox to Score 15+ Points (-108)

De'Aaron Fox has had two straight poor shooting nights, and I think that -- coupled with him sitting out Games 1 and 2 -- has created a decent buying window on him in the points market.

After scoring 15 points in Game 1, Fox has put up 12 and 9 points the last two games, shooting just 9 for 28 from the floor over those two contests, including 1 for 6 from three. We know he's a better shooter than that as he posted a 48.6% field-goal percentage in the regular season and hit 33.2% of his threes.

The good thing from the last two games is that Fox looks healthy and has played 33 and 31 minutes. The volume has been there, too, as he's hoisted at least 13 shots in every game. His shooting percentages should regress positively over time, and with the San Antonio Spurs' season on the line, Fox should continue to see healthy minutes today.

NBA Player Prop Bets FAQ

What are NBA player prop bets?

NBA player prop bets are wagers on specific statistical outcomes for individual players during a game — independent of which team wins or loses. You might bet on how many points a star guard scores, whether a big man grabs 10 or more rebounds, or how many assists a point guard dishes out.

What types of NBA player props are available?

FanDuel offers an extensive menu of NBA props. The most common categories include:

• Points — over/under on a player's scoring total
• Rebounds — over/under on total boards (offensive + defensive)
• Assists — over/under on dimes dished
• Three-pointers made — over/under on made threes
• Points + rebounds + assists (PRA) — combined stat total for those three stats
• Double-double or triple-double — yes/no prop on achieving the milestone

How do NBA player prop odds work?

NBA props use the standard American (moneyline) odds format. A negative number indicates how much you must wager to profit $100, while a positive number shows the profit on a $100 bet.

• -115 odds — bet $115 to win $100
• +115 odds — bet $100 to win $115
• -200 odds — bet $200 to win $100

What is a points prop bet in the NBA?

A points prop is a bet on whether a specific player will score over or under a set total. For example, a line might read: LeBron James — Points — Over 24.5 (-110).

Key factors to research before betting points props include the player's recent scoring form, the opposing team's defensive rating and points allowed to their position, pace of play, and how many minutes the player is likely to play.

What is a PRA prop bet for NBA?

PRA stands for Points + Rebounds + Assists — a combined stat prop that totals all three categories into one number. For example, a Nikola Jokic PRA line might be set at 49.5.

PRA props are popular for versatile players because their contributions span multiple statistical categories. They're less volatile than single-stat props since a slow scoring night can be offset by a strong rebounding or passing game.
