We went 2-1 last Friday with our NBA player props! We cashed 2 picks by the skin of our teeth as both Tyler Herro and Aaron Gordon won by the hook. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
Our only loser was on Jarrett Allen, who busted our under by grabbing a ton of rebounds. For some strange reason, we can't seem to ever cash a prop that involves Mr. Allen. Maybe we should add him to the Do Not Play list.
Anyways, let's keep it rolling with 3 NBA PrizePicks Props for Monday, March 13. Best of luck with all your action!

Mike Conley OVER 1.5 Made 3-Pointers
You have to admire a salty old dog like Conley. He's 35 years old and still putting up some decent numbers, which is pretty impressive. For the season, Conley is averaging almost 2 made three-pointers per game, which is a nice edge in our favor.
The former Ohio State Buckeye is hitting 36.1% of his shots from downtown, which is also a pretty good number. Conley has also been in good shooting form from beyond the arc. He's gone over this total in 5 of his last 7 games.
Conley will be facing the Hawks tonight, which makes us like this play even more. He's made two 3-pointers or more in 3 of his last 4 games against Atlanta. The Hawks aren't exactly a defensive juggernaut either, as they only rank 23rd in points allowed. Take the Over!
Jaren Jackson Jr. OVER 1.5 Made 3-Pointers
Jackson shoots the basketball remarkably well for a guy who's 6-11 and 242 pounds. He's averaging 1.5 made shots from 3-point land this season. That doesn't give us a mathematical edge against this number, but he is hitting nearly 34% of his 3-point attempts this season.
The former Michigan State Spartan is really starting to come into his own as pro. He made his first All-Star team this year, and we like the direction his game is headed. He's also gone over this number of made 3-pointers in 4 of his last 6 outings.
Daily readers of our column know that we look for plays that have some market support behind them. We have that with this play. BetRivers is juicing this Over at -148, which is a good sign for us.
Kelly Olynyk UNDER 5.5 Rebounds
We'll be honest about this play. It's a hold-your-noser from a statistical standpoint. Olynyk has been crashing the boards well of late, as he's averaging 6.2 rebounds per game over his last 5.
So, why in the world are we playing the Under? For two reasons: market and matchup. PointsBet is juicing the Under at -145, which tells us that we're on the more likely outcome, even without a lot of stats to back it up.
The matchup also favors an Under in a big way. Olynyk has played against Miami 15 times in his career. He's grabbed 5 rebounds or less in 12 of those games. The Heat also ranks 7th in the league in rebounds allowed per game.
