Action resumes on the hardwood with an 11-game NBA slate that offers plenty of options for prop picks.

The Washington Wizards will be without All-Star guard Bradley Beal against the visiting New Orleans Pelicans, which means someone will have to pick up a much heavier offensive load.

Here are my top prop picks for Monday's 11-game NBA schedule (Odds via DraftKings, pick confidence based on 1-to-5-star scale).

Monday's Top NBA Prop Picks

Spencer Dinwiddie Over 18.5 points (-120)Kevin Huerter Over 19.5 points, rebounds, and assists (-110)Darius Garland Over 26.5 points, rebounds, and assists (-125)

Top Prop Picks

Dinwiddie Over 18.5 points (-120)

The Wizards have to replace the 23.3 points per game missing from Beal, who will be out a second straight game following the death of his grandmother last week. Sans Beal on Saturday, Dinwiddie led the team with 18 field-goal attempts and 23 points in a 104-92 win over the Orlando Magic.

Dinwiddie's top two scoring games - 34 points against the Indiana Pacers on Oct. 22 and Saturday versus the Magic – came when Beal wasn't available. Prior to Saturday, Dinwiddie hadn't scored more than 14 points in any game since the start of November. He was 10-for-18 shooting after entering hitting just 41.5 percent overall. Washington hosts New Orleans tonight and the Pelicans are atrocious defensively, allowing 111.7 points per game on 47.4 percent shooting (28th in the NBA).

Huerter Over 19.5 points, rebounds, and assists (-110)

Huerter's Atlanta Hawks play the second of a back-to-back tonight against the awful Magic. Huerter should play a bigger all-around role offensively with the news that Atlanta has lost forward De'Andre Hunter for at least two months following wrist surgery. That guy is a darn good player and it's a shame he can't stay healthy.

Huerter started for Hunter in Sunday's win over Milwaukee and had 11 points, six rebounds, and an assist. Perhaps most important, though: He played a team-high 33 minutes. Cam Reddish might also get more touches with Hunter out, but he played only 17 minutes Sunday and also bumped knees with a Bucks player and may not play Monday. Last season, Huerter averaged 14 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in three games against Orlando. He's capable of getting Over 19.5 on points alone.

Garland Over 26.5 points, rebounds, and assists (-125)

We don't have to look far to see a possible stat line for Garland against the Boston Celtics as the two teams complete their baseball-like series with a second straight game in Cleveland on Monday. With Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, and Kevin Love all out, Garland is far and away the focal point of the Cavaliers' offense.

In Saturday's 91-89 win over Boston, the Cavs' point guard scored 22 points and added six assists and four rebounds, despite struggling from 3-point range (2-for-8). Garland sealed the victory with two made free throws to take the 91-89 lead with 9.4 seconds remaining. Over the last six games, he's shooting .538 (43-for-80) from the field and .488 (20-for-41) from three while averaging 19.7 points, 6.7 assists, and two rebounds in nearly 36 minutes per.
