Note: The table above is updated as regularly as every five minutes, so odds are likely to change.

BREAK IT DOWN:

Nikola Jokic Triple-Double – Yes (-104): There’s only one man in the NBA whose triple-double prop has odds that aren’t plus-money. That man is Nikola Jokic, due mostly to the fact that he led the league in triple-doubles last season, accomplishing the feat 34 times in his 65 starts — a 52.3% rate. However, though there isn’t technically a bad spot to bet on the three-time MVP, a matchup with the Thunder is far from ideal. Heck, Oklahoma City just held Victor Wembanyama to 12 points on 1-for-13 shooting. Overall, the Thunder surrendered just 102.0 points per 100 possessions on Opening Night, and that’s after the team easily posted the best defensive rating in basketball last season (106.5). Tread carefully.

Jaylen Brown 6+ First Quarter Points (-105): This is an interesting one. Brown’s role on his new team was always going to be an adjustment. The wing led the Eastern Conference in usage rate in 2025-26 (36.2%), but he’s now sharing the floor with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and LeBron James. Sacrifices were going to have to be made. Well, we only have a one-game sample, but Brown took just 14 field goal attempts against the Knicks, finishing with 19 points and a 21.6% usage that ranked third on the 76ers. Only three of those points came in the first quarter, as Nick Nurse essentially ran with his starting lineup for the opening six minutes. If anything, I’d expect Brown to have more scoring acumen in the second quarter, when he’s playing alongside reserves.

Jared McCain 3+ Three-Pointers Made (+143): Even after shedding some pieces in the offseason, the Thunder remain super deep, with SGA, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, Ajay Mitchell and McCain all fighting each other for minutes in the backcourt. However, if we learned anything about McCain in the club’s first game on Tuesday, it’s that he’s not going to be shy about hoisting in 2026-27. In just 22.2 minutes of action, McCain led Oklahoma City with eight three-point attempts. Even better? Six of those went in. Obviously, McCain isn’t going to shoot 75% from distance all year long, but he knows his role and he’s capable. Add in some nice odds, and I get the popularity of this prop.

3-PICK PARLAY:

Taking three of the most-bet player props individually is always an option, but why not roll them into a parlay and get in on all the action at once? It’s a fun way to tie everything together — feel free to tag along.

Nikola Jokic Triple-Double – Yes (-104)

Jaylen Brown 6+ First Quarter Points (-105)

Jared McCain 3+ Three-Pointers Made (+143)

Parlay Odds: +832
