WASHINGTON D.C. – The NBA regular season is winding down as the Race to the Play-In Tournament is in full swing.

The triple-double seems to be a common occurrence in the NBA, but it doesn’t happen as often as it may seem. The player with the most triple-doubles this season is Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook who has 20 triple-doubles this season and just recorded his sixth triple-double in the last seven games.

NBA bettors looking for player props to take action on should look at the Who Will Average A Triple-Double prop at Bovada.
Who Will Average A Triple-Double In The 2020-2021 NBA Season?
- Russell Westbrook -250
- No Player Will Average A Triple-Double +175
- Nikola Jokic +400
- James Harden +400
- Luka Doncic +950
Russell Westbrook is the betting favorite to finish the season averaging a triple-double with -250 odds and is the only player in the NBA currently averaging a triple-double putting up 21.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 10.6 assists per contest.
The -250 odds on Westbrook to finish the season averaging a triple-double are well worth the risk but the +175 odds on no player to average a triple-double could also be a solid play should Westbrook numbers decline in any way.

As far as longshot options for this betting prop both Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden and Denver Nuggets Center Nikola Jokic are two players that are threatening to average a triple-double this season as both have +400 odds to do so.
Nikola Jokic – 26.3 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 8.7 assists
Jokic is the heart and soul of the Denver Nuggets and is having an MVP caliber season. But, he needs to up his assists down the stretch and he’s a player that is capable of doing so especially with the addition of Aaron Gordon to the team. The supporting cast and passing vision make Jokic the best option of any player on the odds board outside of Russell Westbrook with +400 odds.
James Harden – 25.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 10.9 assists
Harden’s move to the Nets has put a spotlight on his passing game. However, the return of Kevin Durant and Harden’s hamstring injury will likely prevent him from averaging a triple-double for the season. Even at +400 odds, bettors should avoid betting on James Harden for this prop as he was just diagnosed with a right hamstring strain on April 6 and will be re-evaluated in 10-days.
If betting on NBA props, Russell Westbrook is the best option as he is likely to continue filling the stat sheets in an attempt to help the 18-32 Washington Wizards at least make the Play-In Tournament. If Russ does finish the season averaging a triple-double this will be the fourth time in his career he has done so.
Westbrook and the Wizards have a matchup against Steph Curry and Golden State Warriors on Friday in the Chase Center. Going up against Curry, Westbrook will certainly be on triple-double watch as the Wizards look to win their second game in a row on this five-game road trip.
