Tuesday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets

This Season: 37-38 (+4.95 units) | Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook

Immanuel Quickley 15+ Points (+135)

Immanuel Quickley has only played 11 games this season, but he's averaging 15.5 points per contest. He has scored 14 or fewer points in each of his last two games, but he also played 17 or fewer minutes in each. His lack of playing time is a bit of a concern, but Quickley is averaging 26.3 minutes per game this season. He's about to take on a team that he played great against earlier this month.

On January 8th, Quickley dropped 22 points against the Knicks, his second-highest total of the season. The Knicks are allowing the eighth-fewest points in the league, so perhaps backing Quickley in this contest, especially if he plays fewer minutes, is a bit ambitious. But Quickley has yet to score fewer than 10 points in a game this season. With a high floor, Quickley could get to this number by playing in 20 minutes or fewer. After all, on January 31st, he scored 14 in just 15 minutes.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. 5+ Rebounds (+140)

Jaime Jaquez Jr. is averaging 4.7 rebounds, so seeing his total set at 3.5 tonight is a little surprising. He just pulled down six rebounds against the San Antonio Spurs, and though he only pulled down three boards two games ago, he also played just seven minutes. He has at least five rebounds in four of his last six games, and the two games where he failed to hit that number came against teams that are much better at rebounding than the Bulls.

The Bulls rank 27th in the league in rebounds allowed per game. They're giving up 54.8 per contest, making this a very good matchup for Jaquez. The price for him to go over 3.5 rebounds is -145, which is way too expensive. However, getting him to go slightly above his season average against one of the worst rebounding teams in the league carries a price of +140. This is a no-brainer.

Derrick White Over 3.5 Assists (+100)

This is another surprising line. Derrick White is averaging 4.2 assists per game, and he just dished out nine against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. He now has at least four assists in three of his last four games, and he's had at least three assists in seven consecutive games. While the Cavaliers rank 10th in the NBA in assists allowed per game, this total means we're not asking White to do much to hit this over.

Earlier this season, White dished out five assists in a 120-117 win over the Cavaliers. He played 42 minutes in that game, which is a bit alarming because he's only played 40 minutes three times since then. Does he need to play a lot of minutes to hit this number? I don't think so. He's averaging 33.7 minutes per game, so while he'll need to go over that, he's hit this number against plenty of good teams playing fewer than 30 minutes.
