Expert NBA Player Props for Thursday: Josh Hart, Knicks OVER 14.5 Rebounds + Assists (-138)

Josh Hart has cashed in on this prop in 2 of his last 3 games with 13, 15 and 20 Rebounds + Assists while playing 40+ minutes in 3 of his last 4 games.

Hart has seen a ridiculous number of rebound chances with 20, 27 and 21 during those three games. He has also recorded 5+ assists in EVERY game of this series while logging 7, 9, 9, 10 and 12 potential assists.

From all reports, his 4th quarter injury from Game 5 shouldn’t limit him in any way tonight. This series has been an absolute dog fight and that is Josh Hart’s style as he has always been known as a scrappy player.

Hart has thrived during the two games played in Detroit with 15 and 20 RA and we have a spread of only -1.5 so we should expect another 40+ minute tonight. *Playable at 15.5 or better.

Expert NBA Player Props for Thursday: Nikola Jokic, Nuggets OVER 9.5 Assists (-125)

The Los Angeles Clippers have decided to double team Nikola Jokic and force him to pass rather shoot which led to him scoring a series low 13 points while shooting 4-13 from the field in Game 5.

Joker has covered this line in 4 of 5 games in this series with 12, 8, 10, 12 and 13 assists and he’s logged 17+ potential assists in all five games while tying a series with 22 potential dimes in Game 5.

The Clippers have allowed 4.9 assists per game to opposing centers this season which doesn’t sound like a lot but it’s the MOST in the NBA during the 2024-25 season.

Jokic has averaged 10.8 assists during his last 10 games and in this series that has been elevated to 11 assists per game.

Look for Los Angeles to continue to force Jokic into passing situations and if you want to shave a bit of juice of this prop, play a triple double at even money as Jokic has recorded double digit rebounds in all but one game while landing on 9 in Game 1.
