Prop Types: Points, Rebounds, Assists & More
There are many prop types, but a few dominate the market. Let's learn them.
The Big Three (NBA)
Points
The most popular prop. How many points will the player score?
Jayson Tatum - Points
Over 27.5 (-110) | Under 27.5 (-110)
What counts: Field goals, free throws, three-pointers - all scoring.
Rebounds
How many total rebounds (offensive + defensive)?
Anthony Davis - Rebounds
Over 10.5 (-115) | Under 10.5 (-105)
What counts: Both offensive and defensive rebounds combined.
Assists
How many assists will the player record?
Trae Young - Assists
Over 9.5 (-110) | Under 9.5 (-110)
What counts: Passes that lead directly to a made basket.
Secondary Props
Threes Made
How many three-point shots will the player make?
Steph Curry - 3-Pointers Made
Over 4.5 (-120) | Under 4.5 (+100)
Steals + Blocks
Often combined since both are hard to predict individually.
Player - Steals + Blocks
Over 1.5 (-130) | Under 1.5 (+110)
Combo Props (PRA)
Points + Rebounds + Assists combined into one number.
Luka Dončić - Pts + Reb + Ast
Over 48.5 (-110) | Under 48.5 (-110)
Which Props Are Best for Betting?
| Prop Type | Predictability | DMP Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Points | High | ✅ Primary |
| Rebounds | Medium | ✅ Primary |
| Assists | Medium | ✅ Primary |
| 3PM | Lower | Selective |
| Steals/Blocks | Low | Rarely |
DMP Note
We focus on Points, Rebounds, and Assists because they're the most predictable and have the most value. High-variance props like steals are harder to project.
You know the prop types now. Next: how opportunity affects these numbers.
How DMP uses this
DMP focuses on PRA (points, rebounds, assists) because they are most predictable and have the deepest markets.
Common mistake
Betting on high-variance props like steals regularly. Stick to more predictable stat categories.
After this lesson
You can identify the main prop types and understand which are more predictable.
