The NBA picks up where March Madness left off with a whopping 10 games on the schedule to tip of a new week.
That means an endless supply of player props to bet on, and I’ve found my three favorite, including Jalen Johnson bullying the Grizz on the glass, while we double up with Amen Thompson.
Those and more NBA picks for Monday, March 23, below.

Prop #1: Jalen Johnson Over 10.5 rebounds
Injuries have ravaged the Memphis Grizzlies, which means we’ve been riding with Ty Jerome points props. But books have caught on, so it's time to pivot.
The Grizz have had no presence on the glass, ranking dead last in rebounding rate and surrendering the second-most opponent rebounds per game since the All-Star game.
So, let’s keep it simple for tonight’s game against the Atlanta Hawks. Jalen Johnson is one of the best rebounders in the NBA, averaging 10.4 per game.
His rebounding total tonight is 10.5, and he has topped that number in two of his last three games.

Prop #2: Amen Thompson double-double
The Houston Rockets’ Amen Thompson has been an absolute beast on the boards lately. He’s hauling down a whopping 9.6 rebounds per game over his last 12 games, and I’m betting he keeps that up tonight against the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls are already looking ahead to next season and aren’t showing much defense or effort on the glass. Chicago ranks 21st in rebounding rate and 28th in opponent rebounds per game since the All-Star break.
Thompson has grabbed 10 or more rebounds seven times over these 12 games and in four of his last five, making a double-double at this price a great bet.

Prop #3: Kristaps Porzingis Over 15.5 points
The Dallas Mavericks might be the only team in the NBA with less interior presence than the Golden State Warriors.
The Mavs are a young roster going through growing pains, but they’ll need to get bigger in the future because they rank dead last in opponent points in the paint.
Luckily for the Dubs, Kristaps Porzingis is expected to return after a minor back injury he suffered vs. the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.
Porzingis had scored 17 or more points in three of his four games before that. With a point total of just 15.5, I love the Over.
