NBA Player Props: Mar. 03, 2026

Top player prop picks

Kon Knueppel — Over 18.5 points. The Hornets have been playing well and Knueppel has stepped up in his rookie season, becoming a primary scoring option. Expect him to get enough minutes and looks to clear this line against the Mavericks.

Cade Cunningham — Over 25.5 points. Cunningham is the engine of the Pistons’ offense and has been carrying a heavy scoring load. In a tough road matchup he’ll likely need to be aggressive, so this total looks reachable if he controls the offense as usual.

Tyler Herro — Over 20.5 points. With Norman Powell out, Herro should see more shot opportunities and minutes. He’s rounding into form after a layoff, and against a middling perimeter defense he should be in a position to top this mark.

Jalen Brunson — Under 25.5 points. The Knicks have tightened up defensively and are sharing the ball more, which has reduced Brunson’s individual scoring bursts recently. In a challenging road game, he may not hit this ceiling unless he takes an unusually high volume.

Kelly Oubre Jr. — Under 16.5 points. The Sixers have been inconsistent and Oubre’s role can be streaky. Facing a disciplined defensive team, he’s not likely to dominate the scoring, so staying below this line is a reasonable expectation.
