We're looking at a few player combos for Tuesday’s loaded schedule in the Association, and our NBA player props and best bets are based on the best NBA odds.

We have another day of ten-plus games on the NBA slate, so of course we’re back with four more player props! We went 3-1 on Monday, and we’re ready to have another profitable day!

John Collins will confront his former team, the Hawks, for the first time as the Utah Jazz journey to Atlanta on Tuesday.

In New York, Zion Williamson will be under the spotlight when the New Orleans Pelicans visit Madison Square Garden to face the Knicks.

Meanwhile, Ayo Dosunmu has been a scoring machine lately, and we’re banking on that to continue when the Chicago Bulls square off with the Detroit Pistons.

We’ll close out our quartet of props with another Jabari Smith double-double as the Houston Rockets face the Oklahoma City Thunder for the second straight game.

To accompany our 76ers-Celtics NBA player props and Rockets-Thunder NBA player props, here are our NBA player props and best bets for Tuesday (NBA picks based on odds via our best NBA betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Tuesday’s NBA player props

John Collins double-double vs. Hawks (+135 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Can you say revenge game? Collins will face his former team for the first time since joining the Jazz, and he’ll do so in Atlanta. In his first campaign with Utah, Collins is averaging his most rebounds in four seasons (8.4). He’s seen increased opportunities since the trade deadline as forwards Simone Fontecchio and Kelly Olynyk were shipped out.

Over his last six without Fontecchio and Olynyk, Collins has averaged 15 points and 11.7 rebounds with three double-doubles and four games with double-digit rebounds.

The Hawks allow the second-most points per game (123.3), including the second-most at home (124.5). Atlanta also allows the 10th-most rebounds per game (52.7). Clint Capela is on a minutes restriction following a six-game absence due to an adductor injury, and Onyeka Okongwu (toe) is still on the shelf.

This game is set up nicely for Collins to rack up another double-double, and we’ll take the plus-money odds.

Zion Williamson Over 34.5 points + rebounds + assists vs. Knicks (-108 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐

Williamson has played well over the last three weeks, averaging 24.3 points, six rebounds, and seven assists across his last nine appearances. He’s posted at least 35 PRA in six of those, including his last four in a row.

Media personality Stephen A. Smith has been notably vocal in criticizing Williamson’s weight, and Smith came under fire Friday for once again questioning Williamson’s commitment to staying in shape. The Pelicans’ social media account answered with this cheeky tweet:

The Pels are 0-2 over their last two games after going 8-1 in nine games prior. Williamson should have plenty of motivation to get his team back into the win column and to make a statement to detractors like Smith.

Williamson has played only three games against the Knicks in his career, but he’s hit this mark in two and averaged 27.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. In Williamson’s only trip to Madison Square Garden, he posted 34 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. Get the popcorn ready as Williamson balls out in the Mecca.

Ayo Dosunmu Over 14.5 points vs. Pistons (-111 via FanDuel)  ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dosunmu has been on a roll, and we’re going to keep rolling with him. Over his last 14 games, he’s averaged 16.3 points, scoring at least 15 in eight of them. He’s been even better across his last five games, averaging 19 points and hitting the mark in three of them.

Tuesday's matchup with Detroit offers the perfect opportunity to cash this points prop.

The Pistons allow the fourth-most points overall (121.8) and the second-most on the road (123.8). Chicago ranks 29th in pace, but Detroit ranks seventh, offering a nice pace-up spot for Dosunmu. We’ll take the Over until our best sports betting sites catch up with his production.

Jabari Smith double-double vs. Thunder (+165 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another double-double on tonight’s slate? Absolutely!

Smith has averaged 14 points and 10.7 rebounds across his last seven games, grabbing double-digit boards in five of them and posting three double-doubles. Smith has 12 double-doubles to his credit this season, but he’s done it in two straight with at least 20 points in both contests.

Smith pulled down 17 rebounds in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, which is the second-highest mark of his career. His most rebounds in a game came against the same opponent when he pulled down 18 against the Thunder earlier in the season.

Oklahoma City allows the fifth most rebounds overall (53.9) and the fourth most at home (53.6), positioning Smith to post a third straight double-double.
