Chet Holmgren Under 9.5 rebounds + assists (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It shouldn’t come as a surprise, but the Spurs are a tougher matchup for opposing centers. They rank seventh in rebounds allowed and 14th in assists allowed this year.
Oklahoma City big man Chet Holmgren recorded seven rebounds and zero assists against the Spurs in the NBA Cup semifinal. He’s averaging 7.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists per contest, failing to clear this line in 15 of his 24 outings.
I project six rebounds and one assist for Holmgren, suggesting a strong play on the Under at FanDuel.

Tyrese Maxey Over 6.5 assists (-124) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
With Paul George available and Joel Embiid probable, the 76ers will have their top players for tonight’s matchup against the Nets. That’s a good sign for Tyrese Maxey, who has had more success as a passer of late.
Maxey has recorded 22 total assists over his last three games, clearing this line twice. He’s dished 50 potential assists over that span. For the season, Maxey is averaging 7.1 assists per game.
This Over costs -155 at some of our best sports betting sites, so I prefer the -124 discount at DraftKings.
Derik Queen Over 13.5 points (-124) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
For the second straight night, my NBA player props tonight column features Pelicans center Derik Queen. Hey, it’s not my fault that our best sports betting apps haven’t adjusted Queen’s scoring line.
This total remains at 13.5 after Queen scored 19 points against the Mavericks last night. He’s cleared this line in three straight contests and five of his past six games. He’s averaging 15.6 points since Nov. 19, which is about what I project for him tonight.
Queen could earn more usage if Zion Williamson rests on the second night of a back-to-back. Either way, I like this Over.
Jarred Vanderbilt Under 6.5 points (-115) ⭐⭐⭐
Jarred Vanderbilt has received more playing time recently, but I could see his minutes going back down with Deandre Ayton back, and Austin Reaves upgraded to questionable status. At the very least, I’m comfortable fading his offensive impact.
Vanderbilt is averaging 4.6 points per game this season. He’s only scored seven-plus points in five of his 18 contests. The reason why this line even exists is that he’s scored 21 points across his past three outings.
I’ll take advantage of the overcorrection and fade a bad offensive player in this matchup.
