Happy Tuesday to all! The NFL season is officially over, a painful time of year for sports fans. However, the NBA and NHL seasons are in full swing, and the MLB season is just around the corner.
We’ve got you covered with our favorite player props from Underdog for the NBA tonight, even though there are only four games on the slate. It’s a great time to get into the NBA if you aren’t an avid fan, especially with the All-Star Game happening this weekend. Let’s dive in, hoping to sweep the board!
Live player props data coming soon for Joel Embiid.
Joel Embiid UNDER 27.5 Points
This line feels too high for us to have confidence in Joel Embiid’s over tonight. Embiid certainly has games where he achieves 28+ points with ease, but the Philadelphia 76ers might not need him in a major capacity tonight given their matchup with the Toronto Raptors.
The 76ers are a 9.5-point favorite in this one, and if they get out to an early lead, Embiid could play limited minutes in the third and fourth quarters, giving him fewer chances to score points. He might have around 22 or 25 points tonight, but we’re confident that he’ll go under his projected total in this one.
Live player props data coming soon for Tyrese Haliburton.
Tyrese Haliburton UNDER 18.5 Points
What has happened to Tyrese Haliburton? He was a menace on the Indiana Pacers last year and had some strong games earlier in the season. He’s in the middle of a slump, as he’s only averaging 13.6 points per game during February, a lackluster total compared to what he’s capable of.
We can’t trust him until he gets back to some consistency on offense, so we’ll take the under in this spot, especially against the New York Knicks, a tough opponent.
| Player | Prop | Price |
|---|
| Cade Cunningham | Over 9.5 Assists | |
| Cade Cunningham | Under 9.5 Assists | |
Cade Cunningham OVER 10.5 Assists
If there’s one thing that Cade Cunningham knows how to do extremely well, it’s his ability to distribute the ball to his teammates. The Detroit Pistons wouldn’t be as good as they are without him, and he is solid as a scorer and as a passer.
Cunningham continues to be one of the best players in the league from an assist standpoint, and we think he’s in for a strong game in this category against the Chicago Bulls, who should be a good matchup for him. The Pistons need all the help they can get to win games, and Cunningham should provide that with some solid assist numbers.
