I'm constantly railing on our ability, or inability, to consistently beat a market as liquid as NFL or NBA sides. Player props, though? Player props are an entirely different story.

Handicapping sports is not easy right now. You need to keep your head on a swivel at all times to keep up the news. The NBA player prop streets are not immune, with so many teams and players suffering through COVID-19 outbreaks. Names are being added to rosters you may not have heard of, while old vets are being pulled out of retirement to help fill bench roles. Wild times, folks. In this environment, playing unders are increasingly risky early in the day. If one or two players get ruled out, the usage increases for the remaining members and your unders are likely drawing dead. Proceed with caution.

Now, more than ever, I can't overstate how vital it is for you as a subscriber to be in our private Discord. Only a handful of the plays we make each day find their way into a written article here on the site, but the NBA Team is talking through news and situations all day in Discord. The team is also adding picks in the chat as value opens up throughout the day. You're busy, so you don't need to spend your day in a chat room, but it's easy to set up the push notifications so you can get the alerts as soon as a pick is posted. If you're a subscriber but not utilizing Discord and have questions, please reach out.

We also have two new tools that'll look familiar if you're betting NFL props with us. Sam Hoppen created our NBA Player Prop Tool, and also the NBA Prop Stat Explorer Tool to help in our research. On a busy nine-game slate, filtering through all of the data in one spot saves you a lot of time. Let's dig in.
