Tuesday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Anfernee Simons Over 14.5 Points (-106)
Anfernee Simons is coming off a 25-point game against the Orlando Magic last time out. In addition, he’s scored at least 15 points in three of his previous four games. Beyond that, his usage increased significantly against the Magic, and he’s shot over 40% from three throughout the year.
Simons should only have more success when facing the 76ers tonight. The 76ers rank last in points allowed and field goals made to shooting guards this season. Plus, the 76ers rank 26th in three-pointers made and field goal rate. The Celtics need another consistent scorer. Simons should provide that this year. He’s getting more and more comfortable in this Boston offense. Let’s take him to add at least 15 points tonight.
Dennis Schroder Over 5.5 Assists (+114)
Dennis Schroder has earned at least six assists in 70% of games this year. He’s just coming off a game with only two assists last time out against Minnesota. Still, this season, Schroder has averaged nine potential assists per game, while giving up just 2.2 turnovers per game. He’s also averaging more than 31 minutes a night this season.
Ultimately, Schroder faces a Denver squad ranked 27th in assists allowed to point guards this season. The Nuggets aren’t great at forcing turnovers against point guards, either, ranking 19th in that category.
Grab Schroder to gain at least six assists.
Brandon Ingram Over 5.5 Rebounds (-154)
Brandon Ingram has nailed at least six rebounds in 80% of games this season. He’s also added at least six rebounds in five consecutive games heading into this one. Ingram has seen more than 33 minutes per game. His usage is also up to nearly 26%.
Furthermore, Ingram just saw a season-high 13 rebound chances against the 76ers in his last game. He’s still averaging 8.8 rebound chances per game, but he’s had more rebound chances in five straight games when compared to his average.
Don’t be surprised if the opportunities continue to come. Ingram faces a Nets team ranked 28th in defensive rebounds allowed to small forwards this season. The Nets are also 26th in total rebounds allowed to small forwards this year.
I’ll confidently take Ingram to grab at least six rebounds tonight.
