Happy Wednesday to all! We hope you’re ready for tonight, which should be a fantastic evening of basketball on the NBA and NCAA levels. While there are two play-in games for the NCAA Tournament tonight, our attention is focused on the NBA, as there are eight games on the slate.
We’ve taken a look at all of these matchups and have out together our four favorite player props from the action, all of which are found on Underdog. Let’s get into it!
Bam Adebayo OVER 14.5 Rebounds & Assists
The matchup of the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers should be a fun one to watch tonight. The Heat currently have the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, so they are looking to rack up wins where they can get them to stay in the playoff hunt.
With that in mind, we love this line for Bam Adebayo. Adebayo continues to be a stable force for this team, mainly getting it done by being aggressive on the glass. However, he can certainly handle the rock as well, which is why we’re taking the over on his rebounding + assist total in this one!
Live player props data coming soon for Bam Adebayo.
Jayson Tatum UNDER 26.5 Points
Jason Tatum is one of the best players on this Boston Celtics squad, but for whatever reason, he hasn’t historically played well against the Milwaukee Bucks, who the Celtics happen to be playing tonight.
He averages 22 PPG against them in his career, and in his two meetings against them this year, he has scored 23 and 7 points, respectively. However, we can’t knock his January 11th performance against him, as he only played 16 minutes in that game.
Regardless, we’re taking the under on his point total, believing that it’ll be a big night for Jaylen Brown.
| Player | Prop | Price |
|---|
| Jayson Tatum | Over 26.5 Points | |
| Jayson Tatum | Under 26.5 Points | |
John Collins UNDER 15.5 Points
Okay, we’re officially buying the John Collins-Anthony Edwards narrative. Collins is just two days removed from getting bodied by Edwards in what has been one of the most viral NBA videos of all time.
Collins is still dealing with the embarrassment of this situation, and as a result, we think he’s due for a bad game tonight. Plus, he has only scored 16 or more points in one of his last three games, an indication that he is trending downward recently. With that in mind, we’re fading his point total in this one.
Live player props data coming soon for John Collins.
Kevin Durant OVER 24.5 Points
Kevin Durant seemingly loves playing against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has played over 20 games against them in his career, and in those games, he averages more than 27 PPG.
His most recent game against them was in November, where he put up 31 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. We’re not overthinking taking his point total over tonight, especially since the 76ers seem to be an easy matchup for him.
| Player | Prop | Price |
|---|
| Kevin Durant | Over 25.5 Points | |
| Kevin Durant | Under 26.5 Points | |
