Top NBA Player Prop Bets for May 12, 2025

Another exciting day of basketball is upon us, with many attractive options to bet on across the NBA slate tonight. With the help of advanced simulations and machine learning, our Basketball Forever bot has run thousands of simulations on every game to expertly pinpoint our best player prop bets for tonight.

1. MIKAL BRIDGES OVER 3.5 TOTAL ASSISTS (+118)

Odds: +118
Probability: 53.6%
Projection: 4.6
Edge: 7.7%
Game: Celtics vs Knicks (7:30PM EST)

Our Basketball Forever betting bot has identified the best NBA player prop bets for today’s NBA matchups. The best player bet takes place in the Celtics vs Knicks matchup, with Mikal Bridges showing value in the total assists made prop market. Our model has narrowed down Mikal Bridges Over 3.5 Total Assists as one of the best player bets for today. Mikal is averaging 4.7 AST per game so far throughout the second round of the playoffs. Bridges has exceeded this line in 2/3 games throughout this playoff series, showing 2/5/7 in each. Falling two assists short in his last match, our model suspects that he’ll be moving the ball today, looking for the best scoring matchup available. Matched up against the Celtics, our model suspects that Bridges will have ample opportunities to rack up enough assists to exceed this line.

Our model recommends placing a wager on Mikal Bridges Over 3.5 Total Assists at +118 odds and an attractive 7.7% edge, making this our best player bet of the day.

2. DERRICK WHITE OVER 3.5 3-POINTERS MADE (-115)

Odds: -115
Probability: 54.1%
Projection: 4.2
Edge: 6.8%
Game: Celtics vs Knicks (7:30PM EST)

The next NBA player prop bet our betting bot recommends comes in the Celtics vs Knicks game, with Derrick White showing value in the total 3-pointers made prop market.

So far throughout the second round in the postseason, White has been slinging the ball from the arc, averaging 3.7 3PM in this round of the playoffs. With him coming off two back-to-back 3 3PM performances, our model suspects that White is due to exceed this line tonight. White will have ample chances at exceeding this line, launching threes from the arc; he has exceeded this line in 1/3 most recent games, falling one three-pointer short in two, racking up 3/3/5 3PM in each.

The Basketball Forever betting bot predicts Derrick White Over 3.5 3-Pointers Made in tonight’s game, which gives us a 6.8% edge on the -115 odds.

3. BUDDY HIELD OVER 3.5 3-POINTERS MADE (+130)

Odds: +130
Probability: 50.2%
Projection: 4.1
Edge: 5.2%
Game: Timberwolves vs Warriors (10PM EST)

According to our model, another best player prop bets for today’s NBA slate takes place in the Timberwolves vs Warriors game, with Buddy Hield showing value in the over 3-pointers made prop market. Buddy Hield averages 4.3 3PM per game in this round of the playoffs, racking up 4/4/5, exceeding tonight’s line in all. Our model suspects that Hield will continue this trend, launching shots from the arc. With Buddy exceeding this line in 3/3 games so far, and with a projection of 4.1 3-pointers made tonight, we have a high degree of confidence in this particular wager.

Our Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Buddy Hield Over 3.5 3-Pointers Made, with an edge of 5.2% at +130 odds.
