There’s plenty of action in the NBA on Friday, April 12, 2024. Fifteen games are scheduled for tonight, which is great news for those bettors who are into NBA player props. We’re now going to show you our top prop picks for today’s games, explaining why we’re certain they’re going to win.


Pacers vs. Cavaliers

How to Watch

  • When: Friday, April 12, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. ET
  • Where: Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, Cleveland, Ohio
  • Channel: fubo

Prop Pick

Both teams are very close to booking a spot in the postseason. This goes especially for the Cleveland Cavaliers who just need to win tonight, and they’re in the playoffs for sure. They play home tonight, which is why we expect all of their players to be fired up.

This includes their best player, Donovan Mitchell. This guy is averaging 26.5 points per game, but in his last outing, he scored 29. We suspect he’s gonna get somewhere around that number tonight, definitely over 25.5, which is the margin set by the bookies.

NBA Player PropOdds
Donovan Mitchell Over 25.5 Points-118

Bucks vs. Thunder

How to Watch

  • When: Friday, April 12, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Where: Paycom Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
  • Channel: NBA TV

Prop Pick

Both teams have done their job in the regular season – we’ll see both of them in the playoffs. This is why we suspect the coaches will want to rest some of their key men this evening.

This goes especially for Oklahoma’s best player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had some problems with injuries earlier this month. It’s likely he will play, but we don’t expect him to stay on the court for more than half an hour.

That said, we also don’t expect him to score too many points this evening. That’s why our prop bet pick for the Bucks vs. Thunder game is that Gilgeous-Alexander will go under 27.5.

NBA Player PropOdds
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 27.5 Points-112
