Monday brings a nine-game NBA slate with plenty of options in the NBA player prop market.

With the regular season still in its opening week, there is some uncertainty around rotations and early-season statistics. Still, we can combine what we've seen so far with larger samples from last season to identify a few appealing spots.

Using the NBA player props at FanDuel Sportsbook, here are three bets that stand out for today.

NBA Prop Bets for Today: Best NBA Props

Devin Booker Under 4.5 Rebounds (-166)

Suns at Thunder — 8:00 p.m. ET

Devin Booker has opened the season playing a massive offensive role for the Phoenix Suns, but I don't think we need to count on his rebounding production against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Booker has recorded four and seven rebounds through Phoenix's first two games, putting him at 5.5 per game. The seven-board outing came in a game in which he logged more than 36 minutes and erupted for 43 points against Golden State.

The larger sample favors the under. Booker has gone over today's 4.5-rebound line in only 3 of his last 10 games dating back to last season.

Oklahoma City also isn't a matchup where I'd expect Booker to be pulled away from his primary offensive responsibilities to hunt rebounds. With Booker’s scoring and creation carrying so much importance for Phoenix, I'll back the under on his rebounds line at this number.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 42.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-106)

Suns at Thunder — 8:00 p.m. ET

It hasn't taken long for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to remind everyone why he remains one of the league's premier offensive players.

Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 27.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists through three games. He produced 45 combined points, rebounds and assists Sunday against the Clippers, finishing with 34 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

That gives us a quick turnaround, but the workload remains encouraging. SGA has played at least 34 minutes in each of Oklahoma City's first three games, and he took 26 shots in Sunday's win. He’ll also need to do more now with Jalen Williams sidelined.

Phoenix should need to devote plenty of defensive attention to Gilgeous-Alexander, but that can open up assist opportunities in addition to his usual scoring volume.

I'm comfortable backin the overall stat production rather than requiring another 30-plus-point night.

Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 Rebounds (-114)

Warriors at Nuggets — 10:00 p.m. ET

Nikola Jokic has averaged 11.0 rebounds through the first two games for the Denver Nuggets, but that average doesn't tell the whole story.

After grabbing only seven rebounds in Denver's opener against Oklahoma City, Jokic pulled down 15 boards in 44 minutes against New Orleans. He averaged 12.9 rebounds per game over 65 regular-season appearances last season, so a 12.5 line is right around his established level of production.

I like the matchup with the Golden State Warriors, too. Jokic's combination of size, positioning and minutes gives him a strong path to another double-digit rebounding night, and Denver should continue leaning heavily on him with its frontcourt rotation not at full strength.

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.
