LeBron James Under 35.5 points + rebounds + assists (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m fading James on his 41st birthday against the best team in the Eastern Conference.

James has shown his age this season, averaging 20.5 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.9 rebounds. He’s only cleared this PRA line in five of his 14 contests. He’s facing a Pistons team that ranks second in defensive rating, first in assists allowed, and fifth in rebounds allowed.

I project a PRA line closer to 30, suggesting significant value on this Under at BetMGM, where a $10 wager would win $8.70.

Jaden Ivey Under 16.5 points + rebounds + assists (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ivey is an athletic guard, the type of player the Lakers have struggled to slow down this year. However, the market has inflated his props to a point where I prefer the Under.

Ivey’s scoring line is listed at 11.5, marking his highest total of the season. His PRA line has never been higher than 13.5. I don’t think a favorable matchup is enough of a reason to push these totals so high, considering Ivey is averaging a PRA line of 12.3 and has only cleared this mark three times all year.

Give me the Under at BetRivers, winning $9.26 on a $10 bet.

Brook Lopez Over 5.5 rebounds (-113) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

With Ivica Zubac sidelined, Lopez has been the starting center for the Clippers. He’s recorded at least five rebounds in five straight contests, cashing this Over twice during that stretch.

The reason why I like Lopez to collect six boards on Tuesday is that the Sacramento Kings rank 26th in rebounds allowed. They are 27th in defensive rebounds allowed, which bodes well for Lopez, who has grabbed five defensive boards in each of his past four outings.

This Over is -134 at Caesars, suggesting a solid discount at FanDuel.

Jaren Jackson Jr. Over 6.5 rebounds (+104) ⭐⭐⭐

Don’t look now, but Jaren Jackson Jr. has been rebounding more of late without Zach Edey. The Memphis Grizzlies big man has grabbed at least seven rebounds in five of his previous six matchups, averaging 7.8 boards on 15 rebound chances per contest.

The Philadelphia 76ers rank 21st in the league in rebounds allowed this year. If Joel Embiid (questionable) can’t go, that could increase Jackson’s chances of cashing this Over. Either way, I like this number given Jackson’s recent form.

Corey Scott features more bets for this game in his 76ers vs. Grizzlies player props.
