It's Thursday, May 6. Here is what the data is telling us for tonight's NBA player props ⏬

---

Bulls @ Hornets

PLAYER: LaMelo Ball 

BET: 🔥 To score 15+ points via Dimers Instagram

We'll level with you; the odds on offer with the 'books for Melo to score 15 aren't great, BUT the odds Dimers are offering are big.

Tonight we are running a contest via the Dimers Instagram page where we'll be giving away $50 cash if Ball scores 15+ points. 

All you need to do is follow us on Instagram and like the LaMelo Ball Contest post (to be published at 2pm EST) to enter. Once LaMelo hits, we'll draw a winner at random! 

Also, just so you know, DimersBOT has projected 18 points for the Hornets guard 😉

Nets @ Mavericks

PLAYER: Joe Harris

BET: 🔥 OVER 12.5 points with FanDuel Sportsbook (-118)

As one of the staff writers at Dimers tasked with the daily duty of finding the best NBA player prop plays for you, the Dimers community, I feel a certain sense of responsibility to not only find you the best edges against the sportsbooks, but also to ensure that you are playing props from games that are interesting involving the best teams. I badly want you to watch the Nets and Mavs rather than have to suffer through betting on someone like Moses Brown to get 8 rebounds for the OKC Thunder, but the Nets are a tough one to crack this season from a props perspective with the elite players on their team because it seems that Irving and Durant kind of take turns at deciding who is going to be the best on any given night, leading to some real frustration for bettors.

With all that said, I'm still going to give you a prop for this game because you deserve to watch this instead of the Grizzlies and Pistons.

So, Joe Harris.

We've got him projected to hit 15 points, easily eclipsing his 12.5-point line. Dallas rank in the bottom third of the league for opponent 3PA per game, somewhere that Harris thrives with 6.5 attempts per game from deep. He'll get enough shots, the question will just be about whether or not they go in. Let's take that bet.

Wizards @ Raptors

PLAYER: Kyle Lowry

BET: 🔥 UNDER 19.5 points with PointsBet (-116)

Lowry sat out against the Clippers on Tuesday to rest and will return to a lineup that now has Fred VanVleet back as well who should take up the brunt of the scoring burden along with Pascal Siakam to leave him as the third, possibly fourth - or even possibly fifth - scoring option on the Raps offense. Look for the PG to play more of a facilitators role in this one. 19.5 is too many points tonight.

Lakers @ Clippers

PLAYER: Paul George

BET: 🔥 OVER 23.5 points BetMGM  (-114)

LeBron James will be sitting this one out as we are once again left waiting for this fixture to feature both teams at full strength, but we'll push on nonetheless. 

Our projections have Paul George down to score 26 which means we are going to jump alllllll over the 23.5 on offer here. After a prolific scoring run through mid-April, PG has slowed down a little over his last five games, but this is a primetime match up and George rarely shies away from the limelight.

To best use this pick, you can't go wrong when signing up to BetMGM where new customers you can cash in even if your bet doesn't win!

Simply deposit $20 into your account, place your bet, and then wait for the money to come in, regardless of the result! It's free money.
