In the world of season-long NBA props, there are many options. I like to keep it simple because I will be targeting plays daily. Instead of hitting all of the averages, I like to take shots on outcomes.
The season is long, and there are so many things that can happen between games 1 and 82. This is where the spice comes in! Let’s take a look at what I’m targeting for this season.

Top Season-Long Prize Picks: NBA Player Props
Chris Paul UNDER .5 30-Point Games
It may not get spicier than this folks! Chris Paul is now entering his 19th season in the league. Yes, he does still have something left in the tank, but I don’t think a 30-point performance is in
the cards here.
He had just one of these games all last season, and practically the whole roster had to be out for him to get there. Did I mention he played 39 minutes in that game and scored……..wait for it……31 points? This is a roster where the heavy lifting will be done by other incredibly talented scorers. In addition to that, my anticipation is that he doesn’t log the heavy minutes that
we are accustomed to seeing in season 19. For these reasons combined, I love the under.

Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER .5 50-Point Games
Giannis has been a man amongst boys as he has entered the prime of his career. With that has come huge outputs in all the counting stats. He now gets to play alongside another incredible
talent by the name of Damian Lillard. He will not have to carry the load night in and night out due to the extra scoring punch, but this is a man who picked up three 50-point games last season.
GIANNIS TONIGHT:
50 Points
13 Rebounds
4 Assists
77% FG

I know Lillard is in the building, but I still think he can squeeze out 1 huge performance over the course of 82 games. I think we see him pick up at least 2 of these types of games this year, so
getting the option for just 1 feels like good value.
Joel Embiid over 1.5 50-Point Games
The Harden Bonanza continues to roll in Philadelphia. While Harden is looking like he will be OUT, Mr. Process will be IN.
Joel Embiid tonight:
50 points
12 rebounds
3 blocks
17/23 FG
15/17 FT
27 minutes #JoelEmbiid #NBAAllStar pic.twitter.com/u65lg3oLzB— NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) January 20, 2022
I think Embiid comes off of his MVP season ready to once again chase the ever-elusive championship. Embiid picked up 3 50-point games last season and I suspect he will be able to pick up a few more during this one.
Embiid had one of the highest usage rates in the NBA last season at 38%. Something close to that should continue this year, and if so, big games are in our future.
I’m hoping that these 3 plays add a little spice to some of your season-long investments. The season will be full of fun, and excitement, and if things break our way PROFITS! I’ll see you guys real soon!
