NBA Best Bets: Props, Locks & Drops for Thursday, April 4

We’re back with another round of curated NBA picks for tonight’s slate, pulling from expert insights, betting trends, and matchup breakdowns across the league.

Using our 3-step model — data-driven research 📊, trends analysis 📈, and AI insights 🤖 — we’ve locked in the top plays for tonight’s action.

Let’s break down our picks using our exclusive system: 👍 Props (bets we like), 🔒 Locks (our favorites), and 💧 Drops (leans we don’t love but don’t hate).

Nikola Jokic Over 50.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists 🔒 — Jokic has cleared this number in 7 of his last 9 and faces a Kings team he dominated earlier this season.

Jayson Tatum Over 14.5 Rebounds + Assists 🔒 — Tatum’s all-around contributions continue to trend upward, and he’s crushed this number in games where the Celtics offense flows through him as a facilitator.

Derrick White Over 25.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists 👍 — White has quietly hit this number in 5 of his last 7. His usage spikes when Boston’s starters stagger, and he’s been aggressive with secondary playmaking.

Austin Reaves Over 24.5 Points + Assists 👍 — With LeBron sidelined, Reaves is taking on more ball-handling and scoring responsibilities. He’s passed this total comfortably in recent games.

Deni Avdija Over 11.5 Rebounds + Assists 💧 — Avdija continues to log heavy minutes and rack up peripheral stats, but matchup concerns and pace make this more of a lean than a lock.

Kawhi Leonard Over 24.5 Points 💧 — Kawhi’s usage has stayed steady, but with PG-13 back and potential blowout risk, we’re treating this one with caution.

📈 Final Thoughts/Trend Analysis

Nikola Jokic’s PRA was the most talked about prop of the night, with consistent support from analysts and sharp bettors.

Jayson Tatum’s all-around line also popped across sources, especially with the Suns’ weak rebounding and defensive issues.

Derrick White and Austin Reaves saw strong usage and line movement throughout the day, and both figure to be heavily involved again.

Avdija and Kawhi showed up on several boards but didn’t generate enough consensus to land in lock territory.

Let’s stay hot as we move toward the postseason!
