Best NBA Team Props Today – April 2

The NBA playoffs are so close you can almost taste them. However, Wednesday’s schedule across the association is a reminder that there are still some clunker matchups to get through before the season concludes.

At the time of this writing, only one game (Hawks-Mavs) has a point spread where the favorite is not expected to win by double digits. Needless to say, tonight could feature mostly one-sided affairs.

Fortunately, sports betting can make nights like these a bit more interesting. Without further ado, let’s jump into our favorite NBA team props of the night.

Note: Odds were correct at the time of writing.

Thunder Team Total OVER 122.5 Points (-114) at FanDuel

We keep waiting for Oklahoma City to come back to Earth, but the Thunder just keep winning, and more often than not, they’re winning in blowout fashion.

The Thunder bring a 10-game winning streak into tonight’s home matchup against the surprising Detroit Pistons. Even with the Pistons vastly improved from a season ago and heading for their first playoff berth since 2019, they are still a hefty 13.5-point underdog tonight.

The Thunder have not only won 10 straight games, but they are also 16-1 across their last 17 and have won by double digits in 12 of those. You may still be skeptical that the Thunder can win the title, but it might be time to revisit that hesitation. This team is very much for real.

With all that said, I am circling another prop where the Thunder have flourished: the over on their team total. The Thunder have been dominant at home, clearing their team total prop in 27 of their 38 home games this season and in nine of their last 10 at home.

Currently, you can find this number at 122.5 at FanDuel, but if the line adjusts to match the 123.5 found elsewhere, I think you can still back it with full confidence. The Pistons have been one of the best stories in sports this season, but tonight, I feel like they are running into a buzzsaw.

Clippers Team Total OVER 117.5 Points (-120) at Caesars

The race to escape the NBA play-in round is hitting a fever pitch in the final week and a half of the season.

The Warriors, Grizzlies, Wolves and Clippers are all within a game of each other in the Western Conference playoff standings, with any of these four teams in position to finish anywhere from fifth to eighth.

For the last team mentioned in that group, tonight’s game against a Pelicans team more focused on the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes than their remaining schedule carries greater importance than it otherwise might. The Clippers are favored by 17 points at home, so whether they win tonight is not the biggest mystery.

However, we are going to mimic what we did above with the Thunder and take the over on the Clippers’ team total of 117.5 at Caesars Sportsbook. Just like the Thunder’s team total, the Clippers’ total is a point higher at every other major book outside of Caesars, and I believe you can take this with confidence at 118.5 as well.

The Clippers have been hot, winning 11 of their last 14 games. Even more encouraging, they have cleared their team total in 10 of those 14. So not only are they winning, but they are also putting up big offensive numbers when they do.

Tonight’s game could be out of hand by the fourth quarter, but either way, I believe the Clippers hit the 120-point mark and pick up their 12th win in their last 15 games.

Kings + Rockets + Pacers to Win By 11+ Points Parlay (+251) at FanDuel

The theme of tonight’s schedule is that many of these games will be snooze fests if the oddsmakers are still good at their job.

I am going to assume the oddsmakers still know what they are doing and will back the Kings, Rockets and Pacers to win their respective matchups tonight by 11 points or more. When you look at each of their matchups, it is easy to see why this parlay is enticing.

Matchup	Odds
Kings at Wizards	Kings (-13)
Jazz at Rockets	Rockets (-17.5)
Hornets at Pacers	Pacers (-14.5)

The Kings, Rockets and Pacers are all playing for playoff positioning and actually want to win. Their opponents might as well get tickets to Saturday’s Final Four in San Antonio to watch Cooper Flagg in action and hope Adam Silver’s lottery magnets favor them in the draft lottery.

I’ll gladly take the +251 odds that each of these games ends in a blowout.
