2023-24 NBA Player Props, Breakdown, Odds, and Picks (Apr 29)
- Weโve got two interesting player props for you for the NBAโs 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, weโre going to focus on the two games that could be the last in the series โ 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 โ Zion Williamson โ has been out with an injury. Another reason is that their No. 2 scorer โ Brandon Ingram โ has been out of shape.
This guy hasnโt scored 20 or more points since the start of the postseason, but we think that might change tonight. After all, itโs now or never for Ingram and his teammates if they want to get anything from the Thunder series.
| NBA Player Prop | Odds |
|---|---|
| Brandon Ingram 20+ Points | -179 |
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. Itโs currently 3-1 for Nikola Jokic & Co., with the series coming back to Denverโs Ball Arena this evening. Thatโs the place where the defending champions have lost only once to the Lakers in almost four years.
Theyโre also without a single loss on home turf since March. Obviously, for all these reasons, theyโre favored to win tonight. However, you can expect the Lakers to go all-in. This goes especially for the NBAโs oldest active player, LeBron James.

For him, this could be his last chance to win another NBA trophy as heโll 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.

|---|---|
| LeBron James vs. Nikola Jokic More Points: LeBron James | -104 |
