Top NBA Prop Bets for May 9, 2025

As the NBA Playoffs heat up, finding value in prop bets can be the key to cashing in. With star players stepping up and matchups getting more intense, today’s slate offers some intriguing opportunities for prop bettors. Yesterday, we went 1 for 3—a tough outing, but we’re ready to bounce back. Let’s break it down and get back on track with today’s top prop bets.

Yesterday’s recap: We hit Brandin Podziemski Over 9 Rebounds + Assists as he grabbed 12, well above the target. Unfortunately, Rudy Gobert fell short of his Over 11 Rebounds, pulling down only 9, and Gary Payton II was a non-factor in just 11 minutes of play, missing the mark on Over 10 Points and Rebounds.

Now, let’s move on to today’s top prop bets:

  1. Nikola Jokic Over 9 Assists vs Oklahoma City Thunder
    • Jokic is averaging 10.2 assists per game this season and has hit this mark in 1 of his last 5 games. Against a team that struggles to defend the paint, Jokic could easily facilitate for his teammates and rack up dimes.
  2. Isaiah Hartenstein Over 11 Rebounds + Assists vs Denver Nuggets
    • Hartenstein has been a beast on the boards lately, going over 11 in 3 of his last 5 games. He’s averaging 14.5 in this category and should have plenty of opportunities against a shaky Nuggets defense.
  3. Jarrett Allen Over 11 Rebounds vs Indiana Pacers
    • Allen has hit this mark in 2 of his last 5 games, averaging 9.7 rebounds per game. With Indiana playing a high-paced style, there should be plenty of rebounding opportunities for Allen to clean up the glass.

Final Thoughts: Whether you’re playing on FanDuel, DraftKings, PrizePicks, Underdog, Sleeper, or BetMGM, these prop bets provide solid value based on recent trends and matchup data. Stay sharp, bet responsibly, and let’s cash in!
