There are eight NBA games tonight. Joel Embiid will look to record his first double-digit rebounding game of the season against the Miami Heat. De'Aaron Fox will look to add to his season total of three-pointers, as he takes on the Atlanta Hawks and their league-worst three-point defense. Franz Wagner will look to continue to keep his teammates involved when he takes on the Phoenix Suns.

Monday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook | This Season: 9-9 (+1.16 units)
Joel Embiid Over 9.5 Rebounds (-120)
Joel Embiid only has 11 rebounds in two games this season after pulling down a season-high eight against the Orlando Magic on Friday. While his start to the season has been more than disappointing, it's just a matter of time before he gets right.
Embiid averaged 11 rebounds per game last season, and we all know he won't put together single-digit performances for the rest of the season. The Heat are allowing 53.1 rebounds per game, ranking 19th in the NBA. This is the best matchup Embiid has had this season. I think he will take advantage of it.
De'Aaron Fox Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (+126)
Until the Hawks start defending the three-point line, taking players to hit their overs from beyond the arc will continue to be one of my favorite plays every time they take the court. The Hawks are allowing a league-worst 16.5 three-pointers per game. That's 1.4 more than the next worst team. They're also allowing players to knock down 39.4% of their shots from deep, the worst mark in the league by 1.5%.
Fox is only averaging 2.1 three-pointers per game this season, but he's knocked down at least three in back-to-back games. Last Friday, he went 6-of-10 from beyond the arc. He has made at least three three-pointers in five games this season. While that's barely more than one-third of his games, this price in this matchup makes this worth a play.
Franz Wagner Under 5.5 Assists (-105)
Franz Wagner is averaging 4.8 assists this season, but he's dished out at least five assists in six consecutive games and in eight of his last nine. In November, he topped this number in seven of his nine games after failing to record more than five assists in a single game in October.
Wagner will look to keep dishing out assists against the Suns tonight, a team allowing 26.0 assists per game. While the Suns rank right in the middle of the league when it comes to assists allowed, this is a game where Wagner is going to revert to his average. It's not a great matchup. He only averaged 3.7 assists per game last season.
