NBA Best Player Props Today – May 12th & 13th, 2025

We’ve provided an NBA parlay pick below featuring a player for each game tonight and a straight bet on Tuesday.

The New York Knicks (leading the series 2-1) are hosting the Boston Celtics, and the Minnesota Timberwolves (up 2-1) face the “Curry-less” Golden State Warriors.

Yesterday’s action featured the Indiana Pacers routing the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-109. The game was essentially over at halftime because the Pacers scored an astounding 80 first-half points and led by 41.

The following tips are for Josh Hart (NYK vs. BOS, 7:30 p.m. ET), Draymond Green (GS vs. MIN, 10 p.m. ET) and Isaiah Hartenstein (OKC vs. DEN, May 12 at 9:30 p.m. ET).

Remember to wager responsibly and be careful with your bankroll.

Josh Hart 10+ Points & Draymond Green 6+ Points (-114) at FanDuel

This parlay is for Josh Hart of the New York Knicks and Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors.

Hart’s Outlook

Hart has scored 10 or more points against the Celtics in all seven meetings this season and is averaging 15.14 points per game during that span.

In this year’s postseason, he’s averaged 15.7 points per game against them.

The “Swiss army knife” has recorded 10 or more points in 8-of-9 playoff games (88.88%) and averaged 13.6 points per contest during the regular season.

Hart, a Villanova product, has been extremely efficient, thanks to shooting 52.5% from the field during the regular season (77 games).

In his last outing, he barely reached the mark with 10 points, but only played 34 minutes due to the game getting out of hand (New York lost by 22).

Oddsmakers have the spread set at 6.5 points in favor of the Celtics, and the line initially opened at 5.5.

The previous three outings between the rivals were decided by three points or less and if bookmakers are accurate and it does remain competitive, the 30-year-old should play around 40 minutes. 

Hart’s standard points total is listed at 12.5 by most sportsbooks.

Green’s Outlook

The 35-year-old veteran has scored at least six points in eight of his last nine outings (88.88%) and averaged nine points per game during the regular season.

Over his last five games, his scoring output has increased to an average of 10.6 points per game.

Against the Timberwolves this season, Green has scored six or more points in four out of five (80%) contests and is averaging nine points per game.

He’s coming off a poor performance in Game 3, in which he scored only two points, but played just 29 minutes due to foul trouble.

The Michigan State product exploded for 18 points in Game 1 in 35 minutes. I’m not saying he’s going to repeat that performance, but if he can stay out of foul trouble, he should see at least 35 minutes.

With Golden State’s leading scorer, Steph Curry (24.5 points per game), continuing to miss time due to a hamstring injury, the Warriors will need other players to step up. This will also force starters such as Green into even more minutes.

Sportsbooks feature the Warriors as five-point underdogs. Playing at home should help, and if it stays close, Green should see plenty of scoring opportunities. 

Green only shot the ball four times in Game 3, and averaged 7.5 field goal attempts during the regular season. He should definitely come closer to his average, if not more.

In Games 1 and 2, he attempted 13 and 10 field goals.

FanDuel is one of the few books that allows this customizable line for each leg of the parlay and features better odds than DraftKings.

Most bookmakers featured Green’s regular scoring total at 7.5 points.

Isaiah Hartenstein Over 0.5 Blocks (-158) at FanDuel

I’m rarely going to tip anything this juiced, but other books list this prop at -200 (BetMGM and bet365) and even as steep as -250 (Sportzino), so the -158 definitely showcases value.

Again, Sportzino hanging 71.43% implied odds for Hartenstein to record a block definitely is eye-catching.

The 7-foot center has recorded a block in four straight contests, averaging 1.1 per game.

Dating all the way back to a preseason game against the Nuggets, where he recorded one block in 21 minutes, the 27-year-old has recorded at least one block in five out of seven games (71.4%) this campaign when facing them.

Denver is allowing 1.78 blocks per game to opposing centers and Hartenstein has recorded a block in 65% of games this season.

While it isn’t the most crucial stat, Hartenstein does hold a one-inch height advantage over Nikola Jokic, whom he’ll primarily be guarding.

We don’t recommend using offshore sportsbooks, but for context on the value that FanDuel is offering at -158, two offshore operators feature Hartenstein at -501 (83.36% implied odds) to record one or more blocks.

Odds Comparison for Hartenstein over 0.5 blocks

Sportsbook	Blocks (Over)	Odds
FanDuel	0.5	-158
Fliff	0.5	-170
bet365	0.5	-200
BetMGM	0.5	-200
Sportzino	0.5	-250
