Happy Monday, everyone! We hope you all had a great time watching the NBA action all weekend. If you followed our picks on Friday, you’d know that, despite putting together some good reads, we only hit one of our three top suggestions. Who knew that Devin Booker would take 24 shots and only make seven of them?
While Friday wasn’t our best night in terms of player props, we’re getting right back on the horse tonight. There are only four games tonight, so, with fewer players to choose from, we decided to talk about our favorite prop from each game.
All of these can be found on Underdog. Let’s get after this small slate and put some extra money in our pockets for the rest of the week!
Tyrese Haliburton OVER 21.5 Points
Tyrese Haliburton has been most well-known for his assist numbers throughout the season. He is a big reason for the Indiana Pacers turnaround, and he currently leads the league with 11.7 assists per game.
While Haliburton is certainly a great shot-creator, he is also a great scorer. He had a slower-scoring night against the Dallas Mavericks yesterday, so we’re expecting him to bounce back tonight and score at least 22.
He had 21 against the Toronto Raptors a few weeks ago and had 33 against them in November. We like his chances to go off against this team once again!
Simone Fontecchio OVER 12.5 Points
Getting traded to the Detroit Pistons might have been one of the best things for Simone Fontechhio in his young career. Fontecchio has scored at least 14 points in four of his five games with this team, mostly because he is typically playing for 30+ minutes per night.
We like Fontecchio’s odds of scoring at least 13 in tonight’s contest with the New York Knicks, continuing his nice scoring run.
Vince Williams Jr. OVER 12 Points
We love this line for Vince Williams Jr. He has only scored less than 12 points in one of his last seven games, an indication of how consistent he has been for the Memphis Grizzlies all season.
He has carved out a role due to the absence of Ja Morant, and judging by how well he has played this season, it doesn’t look like this role is in jeopardy moving forward.
De’Aaron Fox OVER 33.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists
Some people forget just how good of a player De’Aaron Fox is. He has been a staple of this Sacramento Kings roster since he came into the league and has shown his star potential all year.
He is averaging the 10th-most points per game of any player in the NBA this season, routinely scoring over 25, with the capacity to score 30+ points in any contest. Tonight, the Kings face off against the Miami Heat, a matchup that should be highly contested until the end.
Look for Fox to have his hands all over this one, resulting in him hitting more than 33.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists.
