Who needs luck this St. Patrick's Day when you have our NBA player prop predictions? And we'll be the ones in the green thanks to Brandon Miller's effort on the glass.

It’s St. Patrick’s Day, but we don’t need luck to hit some winners in the NBA player prop markets.

I’ve reached the end of the rainbow and found my three favorite NBA picks for the day, which include Brandon Miller finding us some green on the glass, and the Kings needing the luck of the Irish if they don’t want to get blocked by Victor Wembanyama.

Prop #1: Brandon Miller Over 5.5 rebounds

+100 at bet365

Fading the Miami Heat on the glass is still one of my favorite ways to bet NBA player props right now.

The Heat play at the highest pace and take the most field goal attempts in the NBA. That inherently means a lot of rebounds up for grabs, and not surprisingly, they surrender the third-most opponent rebounds per game.

Tonight, the Heat take on the upstart Charlotte Hornets.

One of the players creating a buzz around the Hornets is Brandon Miller, and it’s not just with his scoring. Miller is averaging 7.1 rebounds over his last nine games and has hauled down 6+ boards six times over that stretch.

Prop #2: Cam Johnson Over 10.5 points

+100 at bet365

Denver Nuggets wing Cam Johnson is finally starting to find his shooting rhythm again, so this might be one of the last times we see a point total like this for him for a bit.

Johnson has put up totals of 17, 15, and 18 points over his last three games, where he’s shooting 60% from the field, including 47.1% from 3-point range.

Tonight, Johnson and the Nuggets play host to the banged-up Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers are missing basically all of their impact players and rank 22nd in defensive rating over their last 10 games.

Prop #3: Victor Wembanyama Over 3.5 blocks

+115 at bet365

Another one of my favorite player props going in the NBA right now is Victor Wembanyama's blocks.

Sportsbooks just can’t quite fully grasp his ability to protect the rim recently. Wemby has been putting up monstrous block numbers ever since the All-Star break.

The San Antonio Spurs star center is averaging 4.2 blocks per game in his 13 games since coming out of the break, topping 3.5 11 times during that period. 

Next, he takes on the Sacramento Kings, who rank 20th in opponent blocks allowed per game since the start of February. The Wemby block party continues tonight.

  • Time: 10:00 p.m. ET
  • Where to watch: FDSN-Southwest, NBCS-California

The sportsbook where he does the bulk of his betting is bet365 thanks to its numerous prop betting options and competitive odds. His best advice? Find the balance between the numbers and what you see on the playing field. Then find the best price using multiple books. And don’t ask him where the nickname Taco comes from. It's not an interesting story. Seriously.
