💰 Best NBA player prop: Who's stopping Wembanyama in Detroit? (-118)
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Victor Wembanyama has proven himself to be matchup-proof this year and is coming off a 28-point performance against the Sacramento Kings in 30 minutes of floor time. I'm expecting him to get closer to 35 minutes tonight in a game that should be close from wire-to-wire. While the Pistons are one of the best in defending the paint, it's his usage that will allow us to go over this low number. It doesn't hurt that Isaiah Stewart of the Pistons remains out, too.
Our Corey Scott backs Wembanyama to grab 11 or more rebounds with his Spurs vs. Pistons player props. If you're looking for even more picks, dive into my Victor Wembanyama player props for tonight.

DeRozan to soar Over 16.5 points vs. lowly Grizzlies (-125)
DeRozan remains one of the league's elite mid-range scorers, and with the Grizzlies ranking near the bottom of the NBA in opponent two-point percentage, this matchup sets up well for him to pick them apart throughout the night. Given that Memphis' season is essentially winding down, I’m anticipating a sluggish defensive effort in a game that carries the highest total on the board at 233.5.
Jazz to get blown out by Durant and Rockets (-130)
Durant is coming off back-to-back 30+ point performances, and is now getting just 23.5 points against the worst scoring defense in the NBA (125.9 points against per game). Don't overthink this one, Durant will get whatever he wants against a depleted Jazz team tonight. Fire him up with confidence as part of our best NBA player props tonight.
Our Corey Scott also expects Durant to pour in the buckets tonight as part of his Jazz vs. Rockets player props.
💡 How I'm betting the NBA slate
Monday's card is built around matchup edges I’ve identified, with unit sizes adjusted based on where I see the strongest value. All three are point props I've found, with players going up against subpar defenses, or ones they specifically matchup well against. All in, I’m risking about $400 - four total units, with my standard unit size set at $100.
