An 8 game NBA slate starting at 1:00 E.T. takes center stage along with March Madness. Let’s dive into my top NBA player prop bet for Saturday.
Malik Monk, SG, SAC, Over 16.5 points (-120)
Malik Monk is starting to run away with the 6th Man of the Year Award. He’s jumped from -400 earlier this week to currently -1100 on FanDuel. 5 20-point games in his last 10 played sure help. He’s averaging over 15 field goal attempts a game during that span but has yet to figure it out from three-point range. He’s shooting below 30% in his last 10 games.
Monk and the Kings will take on the Orlando Magic as 3.5-point underdogs on the road. The Magic defense is stellar, but we’re getting a soft number. Monk has topped at least 17 points in 28/44 games that he’s seen at least 25 minutes in – closing the game helps.
