Happy Tuesday to all! We have officially made it to Super Bowl week, an exciting time for sports fans across the globe. While our minds might be primarily focused on the big game, there are plenty of other sports to watch, including tonight’s 7-game NBA slate.
We’ve put together our favorite player props from the action, which we’ll do every day this week, and we’re hoping to find some great value on Underdog. With that in mind, let’s get into our top player props from the action!
P.J. Washington (DAL) OVER 8.5 Rebounds
The Dallas Mavericks are on the heels of making one of the biggest trades in the NBA in recent history. Luka Doncic is no longer with the team, and the Mavericks are moving forward in an era without the player that was said to be the future of the franchise.
Anthony Davis should be a great addition to the squad, but he’s not playing tonight, so we’ll have to wait and see how he’ll gel with the team. For now, we’re going to take the over on PJ Washington’s rebounds total, a line that looks to be a tad too low with Doncic in LA.
Washington has had at least nine rebounds in four of his past five games, and considering the Mavericks are facing the Philadelphia 76ers tonight, we like his odds of hitting this with ease. He’ll likely play the whole game, giving him plenty of chances of having at least 9 boards.
Jaylen Brown (BOS) OVER 21.5 Points
Jaylen Brown has been playing exceptionally well lately. He and Jayson Tatum are still one of the best duos in the league, and his scoring numbers have certainly been impressive. Brown has not only hit the 22-point mark in four of his past five games but had 28 points in three of those contests.
We’re expecting another big night out of him, especially considering that their opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers. He only scored 17 points against them on their November 19th meeting, so look for Brown to bounce back in a big way in the scoring column.
The Celtics can make a bit of headway on the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference standings with a win tonight, and they’ll want to utilize Brown to help them do that.
R.J. Barrett (TOR) OVER 5.5 Rebounds
RJ Barrett has started to find his groove as an NBA athlete. He is one of the lone bright spots on the Toronto Raptors, a team that is well below .500. Barrett gives it his all every night, regardless of the score, putting himself in positions to secure a lot of rebounds, especially.
He’s on a roll with rebounds lately, having at least six in four of his past five games, and we don’t anticipate that he’ll slow down anytime soon. The Raptors typically play the New York Knicks tough, and he should have at least six rebounds by the time the final buzzer sounds.
