💰 Best NBA player prop tonight: Cade Cunningham Over 24.5 points (-132)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Cunningham's gone over this number in four of his last six games and gets a team in the Hornets that can lose themselves defensively. Against the 17th-best defense in basketball, I'm expecting Cunningham to stay aggressive early and often, ultimately doing his part to end the Hornets' nine-game winning streak. Fire him up as part of our best NBA player props.

LaMelo Ball, Hornets, Over 7.5 assists (+114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ball will have to turn into a facilitator tonight as one of the best defenses in the NBA keys in on him. Ball hasn't been the most efficient shooter recently, either (37% field-goal percentage this month), giving me more confidence we'll see him move the rock tonight. The more I look at this plus-money play, the more I like it.
Nikola Jokic, Nuggets, Over 51.5 points + rebounds + assists (-118)⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jokic is just a physical freak - a freak of nature, if you will. With Evan Mobley out for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Jokic should be able to do whatever he wants in the paint. He's coming off two straight triple-doubles, and there's a good chance he makes it three straight tonight. Jokic is shooting nearly 50% from the field in February - fire him up.
Chet Holmgren, Thunder, Over 18.5 points (-125) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
If there's one thing we know, it’s that the Lakers aren't exactly known for their defense. Los Angeles consistently pushes games Over, and with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined, even more of the offensive responsibility will fall on Chet Holmgren. That should create plenty of chances for him to reach the 19-point mark tonight - this is one worth locking in.
