NBA Props: Five players who make ladder targets on Friday, April 3

There's a nine-game NBA schedule on Friday, April 3, and with the NBA playoff push upon us, the Dimers data continues to deliver the best NBA player props for every slate, thanks to the trusted prediction models behind the insights from the Dimers Pro suite of NBA betting tools.

From our best bets and props to the Dimers Pro NBA Projections Hub and our prop trends, all exclusive to Dimers Pros, we have a loaded arsenal of features to help you cut through the noise and find the most profitable ways to bet on every single NBA game, just like how we nearly swept a slate with this same feature article.

Now included in the Dimers App, the NBA Player Projections Hub is one of the best ways to uncover hidden player prop value, providing daily projections for every NBA player, including points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals, and we'll be using this tool heavily today.

This expansive hub can identify players on the brink of significant statistical performances, such as those who are within range of double digits in multiple categories as “Double-Double Threats” or “Triple-Double Threats” like Jayson Tatum on Wednesday night.

Dimers Pros can also find players who are projected not just to hit their regular prop line, but go over even further and cash some plus-money alternate lines or ladder props, which is what we're looking at today.

Five player props to ladder on Friday, April 3

Some of the worst teams in the NBA are playing tonight and the Dimers projections point to several favorable outcomes for their opposition, from high three-point totals to crashing the boards.

Below, you'll find five players with good projections from our data in matchups they can exploit to climb even higher.

The Dimers App makes it super easy to find these projections; simply tap on each category, filter by category and you'll see the top-projected performers in every stat.

1. Jayson Tatum (Celtics) three-pointers

Game: Celtics vs. Bucks

Tip: 8:00 PM ET

First up, we're looking at Jayson Tatum vs. the Bucks in tonight's most one-sided matchup. That means a blowout could make things messy, but it also might not take long for Tatum to do his thing.

He projects for 3.2 threes tonight, the fourth-highest mark of the slate. Since returning, Tatum's averaged 2.9 threes per game on just over 9 attempts. There's a strong, but unsurprising correlation here - when he hits double-digit attempts, he's hit 4 or more threes, all four times.

The matchup is where things really stand out. Over their last 15 games, Milwaukee has allowed the second-most threes made per game at 15.7 and just allowed the Rockets' Reed Sheppard to put up a career-high 9 threes on 14 attempts.

Tatum's ladder starts at 4+ and +135 odds on FanDuel (unless you want to play the juiced 3+ at -195).

2. Jakob Poeltl (Raptors) rebounds

Game: Raptors vs. Grizzlies

Tip: 8:00 PM ET

Next, we'll look at Raptors center Jakob Poeltl to crash the boards vs. the team that allowed the most rebounds in the NBA over the past month.

The Grizzlies are letting teams pull down just under 50 rebounds per game and tonight, Poeltl projects for 8.6 rebounds, the most in this game and a Top 10 overall mark across the nine-game slate.

Poeltl averaged 7.7 boards per game in March, hitting double digits in four games, peaking with 18 vs. the Pistons on March 15.

In their past 10 games, game leaders vs. Memphis have tallied 13, 11, 13, 16, 15, 14, 11, 14 and 15 rebounds, hitting double digits in all but one game.

His line is set at 8.5 at +108 odds on FanDuel, giving a solid plus money floor right at where we project him tonight, and the matchup gives him room to climb.
