Our Basketball Forever betting bot has identified the best NBA player prop bet for today’s NBA matchups. The best player bet takes place in the Celtics vs Knicks matchup, with Derrick White showing value in the total points made prop market.
Our model has narrowed down Derrick White Over 20.5 Points as the best player bet for today. Our model predicts that White will rack up 24.1 PTS in tonight’s game. With the Celtics losing Tatum, White was able to run the show in their last matchup, racking up a total of 34 PTS with 7 3PM. Our model suspects tonight will go similarly with him taking over a lot of the responsibility with Tatum missing, leading to more shots taken and more points scored.
Our model recommends placing a wager on Derrick White Over 20.5 Points at -120 odds and an attractive 9.7% edge, making this our best player bet of the day.

Probability: 52.8%
Projection: 4.1
Edge: 7.9%
Game: Celtics vs Knicks (8PM EST)
The next NBA player prop bet our betting bot recommends playing comes in the Celtics vs Knicks game, with Peyton Pritchard showing value in the total 3-pointers made prop market.
Throughout the 24/25 postseason Pritchard has been able to average 3.4 3PM made per game, and he’s coming off a 5 3PM game two nights ago. Our Basketball Forever Betting Bot is projecting Pritchard to have 4.1 REB. With Tatum OUT and Porzingis suffering from an illness, Pritchard has been getting more time on the court allowing him to launch balls from the arch. In their last matchup, Pritchard was able to go 5/14, giving our model confidence that he’ll be slinging the ball again tonight.
The Basketball Forever betting bot predicts Peyton Pritchard Over 3.5 3-Pointers Made in tonight’s game, which gives us a 7.9% edge on the +120 odds.
3. MIKAL BRIDGES OVER 3.5 TOTAL ASSISTS (+140)

Our model has found Mikal Bridges Over 3.5 Total Assists as one of the best bets for tonight’s game. Bridges has been able to cover this line in 2/5, falling one assist short in the two most recent matchups. Throughout this series of the playoffs, Bridges has been able to average 4 APG, showing 3/3/3/5/7 assists made in each game. With the series 3-2, the Knicks will have to move the ball giving them the best scoring matchups. With an average of 4 APG and a Projection of 4.1 AST, our model has a high degree of confidence in this particular wager.
Our Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Mikal Bridges Over 3.5 Total Assists, with an edge of 11.8% at +140 odds.
