NBA Props for Tuesday March 12: A fearsome foursome of picks

By Matt Wiesenfeld | Last updated 3/12/24

Yesterday was a typical Monday, a 1-3 record with a net loss. It just seems that we build momentum as the week goes on.

There is definitely more hoops energy right now as the conference tournaments are giving us afternoon basketball and the condensed NBA schedule makes it such that it feels like there are meaningful games most nights.

Tonight we have seven games on the slate. I am loving the test of Indiana visiting Oklahoma City, and even though KAT is out. Timberwolves at Clippers has an impact on the standings.

NBA Props for Tuesday, March 12

Brice Sensabaugh Over 10.5 Points (+120) Alt Line

If you look quickly, you will see that the rookie is averaging just 5 ppg on the season. However, he has started the last couple of games and tripled that scoring average in them. He is making the most of his new opportunity and even if the Jazz are not competitive tonight he should be able to get on the scoresheet often. Also, you are getting a great bump from -110 to +120 just for a single point.

Andrew Nembhard Over 8.5 Points (+100)

Guilty. I have been in the Nembhard fan club ever since the Pacers traded Buddy Hield and he has been a regular starter. This prop is right at his seasonal average and I am overlooking the data point of zero points in his last game. He only took a couple of shots and the team won by 20 points. Against OKC, they are going to need him as the game plan will focus on stopping Ty Haliburton.

Pascal Siakam Over 7.5 Rebounds (+110)

Indiana is second in the NBA in pace and Oklahoma City is not far behind them at No. 8. That should make for a very entertaining game and an opportunity for Siakam to show his whole game. This is just a little above his average production but he has hit it five times in his last eight games. Oklahoma City is far from a beefy rebounding team.

Giannis Antetokoumpo Over 12.5 Rebounds (+100)

Giannis is taking Domantas Sabonis tonight in a battle of two of the best rebounders in the league. There might not be any rebounds for everyone else but there should be plenty for each and tonight we do not have to pay too much of a premium. I like Giannis to be leaned on a little more in what should be a close game. He has bested this in four of eight games.
