💰 Best NBA player prop tonight: Tyrese Maxey Over 29.5 points (-102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Maxey's usage has been off the charts in his last two games, averaging close to 40 minutes on the floor over that span. While he's getting one of the better defensive teams in the NBA tonight, there's no reason to believe he won't score 30 for the fifth time this month. The last time he faced a top-10 defense was the Toronto Raptors, and he dropped 38 and 33 on back-to-back nights. Fire him up with confidence as part of my best NBA player props tonight.

Victor Wembanyama to record a double-double (+105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wembanyama has recorded three double-doubles this month, including one last night against the Utah Jazz. While his usage is slowly ticking up, he'll still need to show he can get the job done on back-to-backs, which is why we're getting plus-money here. With the game projected to be tight, I'm looking at Wemby to play over 30 minutes tonight, which should give us enough opportunity to cash this.
Corey Scott also backs Wembanyama with his Spurs vs. Rockets player props.
Steph Curry Over 28.5 points (-112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm not entirely sure where the Warriors go from here after Jimmy Butler tore his ACL last night against the Miami Heat, but if there's one thing I do know, it's that you'll be seeing a ton more of Steph Curry. We hit our plus-money play on his assist number last night, but look for him to be the primary scorer against the Raptors, and for him to see an uptick in his usage.
Luka Doncic Under 48.5 PRA (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
We're seeing one of the lowest totals on the board in Luka's game against Denver tonight, leading me to believe that his points, rebounds, and assists number is just far too high. Doncic has gone Under this number in three of his last four games, and without many points to go around, I'm expecting this to be a sweat-free wager tonight.
Meanwhile, Scott breaks down why he's backing Doncic in his Lakers vs. Nuggets player props.
