Our NBA props have cooled off this week, but they're still 96-85 on the year. Unfortunately, we suffered another 1-2 fate on Wednesday night. Aaron Gordon and Dejounte Murray both let us down.
The offensive rebounding bug continued to bite us, as Gordon somehow brought down 6 boards off the offensive glass to bust our Under. Our only winner was on Jerami Grant, who thankfully stayed under his points prop with relative ease.
Oh well, it's time to move on and move up! Here are 3 PrizePicks NBA Props for Thursday, March 9, to right the ship! Good luck with all of your action.

PJ Washington UNDER 5.5 Rebounds
Hopefully, some unlucky offensive rebounds won't burn us on this prop. Washington is a pretty steady scoring option for Charlotte, but he's not known as a powerhouse board-crasher. He's stayed under this total in 40 of 62 games this season, which is a pretty nice trend in our favor.
The former Kentucky Wildcat is only averaging 4.8 rebounds per game this season. He's been on kind of an upwards trend with his rebounding of late, but we're expecting some regression tonight. FanDuel is juicing the Under at -148, which is something we always like to see when playing props on PrizePicks.
The matchup isn't too great for Washington tonight, either. Detroit is a complete mess, but they do rank 14th in rebounds per game. Washington has grabbed 5 rebounds or less in 7 of 11 career games against the Pistons.
Markelle Fultz OVER 5.5 Assists
Fultz has been dogged by injuries ever since he was drafted No. 1 overall by the 76ers back in 2017. Philly traded Fultz to Orlando in 2019, and the change of scenery seemed to do him some good.
The former Washington Husky has played in 45 games this season and is finally showing some flashes of his old brilliance. Fultz is averaging 5.5 assists per game this season, which is right on this number. Even though there's no numerical edge in that number, Unibet is still juicing the Over at -141.
The Jazz are pretty solid in some defensive categories, but they rank just 22nd in points allowed this season. We're hoping that translates into some easy assists for Mr. Fultz. Take the Over!
Franz Wagner OVER 1.5 Made 3-Pointers
It must be Orlando Magic night for us! Wagner is having a fine season for the Magic and is averaging 1.7 made shots from beyond the arc. He's also shooting 40% from 3-point land over his last 5 games.
The former Michigan Wolverine has gone over this number of made three-pointers in 6 of his last 9 games. We're expecting his hot shooting to continue in this one. Apparently, so is BetRivers, who is pricing the Over at -148 odds.
Again, Utah doesn't have a world-beating defense. The Jazz are just mediocre at defending 3-pointers (14th), so Wagner shouldn't have any trouble finding open looks. He made 5 shots from downtown against Utah back on January 13th, so we're riding the Over!
