2023-24 NBA Player Props, Breakdown, Odds, and Picks (Apr 29)

• We’ve got two interesting player props for you for the NBA’s games on Monday, April 29.
• Will Brandon Ingram score 20+ points for the first time in the 2024 postseason?
• Who will score more points this evening, LeBron James or Nikola Jokic?

We went 2-for-2 with our NBA player prop picks last night and we sure hope we can do the same today. For Monday, April 29, we’re going to focus on the two games that could be the last in the series – the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets.

Thunder vs. Pelicans

How to Watch

• When: Monday, April 29, 2024, at 8:30 p.m. ET
• Where: Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, Louisiana
• Channel: NBA TV

Prop Pick

The Thunder are 3-0 against the Pelicans, meaning that the hosts need to go all-in to stay in the Playoff series. They looked really bad offensively in each of the previous three games, scoring no more than 92 points per game.

One of the reasons is that their points leader from the regular season – Zion Williamson – has been out with an injury. Another reason is that their No. 2 scorer – Brandon Ingram – has been out of shape.

This guy hasn’t scored 20 or more points since the start of the postseason, but we think that might change tonight. After all, it’s now or never for Ingram and his teammates if they want to get anything from the Thunder series.

Lakers vs. Nuggets

How to Watch

• When: Monday, April 29, 2024, at 10:00 p.m. ET
• Where: Ball Arena, Denver, Colorado
• Channel: TNT

Prop Pick

The Nuggets are a win away from sealing the series. It’s currently 3-1 for Nikola Jokic & Co., with the series coming back to Denver’s Ball Arena this evening. That’s the place where the defending champions have lost only once to the Lakers in almost four years.

They’re also without a single loss on home turf since March. Obviously, for all these reasons, they’re favored to win tonight. However, you can expect the Lakers to go all-in. This goes especially for the NBA’s oldest active player, LeBron James.

For him, this could be his last chance to win another NBA trophy as he’ll be turning 40 later this year. So, we definitely expect this guy to go crazy on the court, scoring a lot of points along the way. But will he score more than Jokic? We think he might.
