NBA Props for Monday March 18: New week, new opportunities

We closed last week with a 1-3 day on Friday. That sucks but at the same time, it is almost impossible to remember what happened with all of the wonderful college hoops we had over the weekend. Plus some decent NBA games too. 

We still have to wait a few days until March Madness begins. Thankfully we have eight NBA games to keep us occupied until then. May your brackets never bust.

NBA Props for Monday, March 18

Jarrett Allen and Myles Turner Over 19.5 Rebounds (+100)
Cavaliers vs. Pacers, 7 p.m. ET

I might be guilty of leaning on Allen too much here. I think I have taken him in a combined rebounding prop a few times before too (and always won). The simple fact he is one of the most consistent rebounders in the league. Turner is always a bit of a tease but I think Allen, in a fast-paced game, is good for at least a dozen tonight so Turner can just be a little better than average and we cash. 

Jaden Ivey Over 3.5 Rebounds (+130)
Pistons vs. Celtics, 7:30 p.m. ET

Ivey has burned me more than once this season. However, I am dipping back into the well here because we are getting a great price (and it is not even an Alt line) and when I looked back over the season I saw that Ivey grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds the only time he played against Boston. All of the athleticism is there for him to exploit, even if the game is not close.
