NBA Player Props: March 18, 2026

Player prop picks

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — Under 30.5 points (Odds: 1.87). Oklahoma City are on a back-to-back and should be big favorites in this one. After a heavy outing against Orlando, it looks like Shai won’t need to shoulder as much of the scoring load if the Thunder control the game early. Expect a more balanced attack and an appearance below this total.

Ivica Zubac — Under 12.5 points (Odds: 1.87). Zubac recently returned but has a limited role and modest minutes with his current team. He hasn’t cleared this number in the handful of games he’s played so far, and the squad lacks the playmaking that would boost his looks. This one looks headed under the line.

RJ Barrett — Over 21.5 points (Odds: 1.87). Barrett has been in a good groove and is one of his team’s primary scoring options. He’s been consistent lately and has mostly cleared similar totals, while the Bulls have struggled on the defensive end. This matchup favors Barrett getting enough shots to finish over the line.

Julius Randle — Over 23.5 points (Odds: 1.87). With Anthony Edwards sidelined, Randle is expected to take on a bigger offensive role for the Timberwolves in this home game. He’s produced big scoring nights recently and should see the volume needed to push past this total.

Naji Marshall — Over 16.5 points (Odds: 1.87). Marshall has seized extra opportunity amid injuries and has been productive, including a big 32-point game in his last outing. The matchup suggests he’ll continue to see heavy offensive usage, making the over a realistic projection.
