Today's Best NBA Player Prop Picks

New York Knicks at Miami Heat

Josh Hart to Record 8+ Rebounds (-156)

Jalen Brunson is out tonight for the New York Knicks, and that should lead to extra minutes for Josh Hart against the Miami Heat.

We saw this exact scenario -- Brunson out against Miami -- last Friday, and it resulted in Hart still coming off the bench but playing a season-high 33 minutes and closing the game. He ended with 12 boards en route to a triple-double.

While Hart might not do that again, he should be in line for an increased role with Brunson sidelined, and Hart is always a menace on the glass with whatever run he gets. He's averaging 9.8 boards per 36 minutes this season, which is his best clip since 2020-21.

Oklahoma City Thunder at New Orleans Pelicans

Chet Holmgren Over 1.5 Made Threes (-122)

The New Orleans Pelicans are giving up a ton of three-point attempts, and that leads me to the over on Chet Holmgren's made threes prop.

No team in the NBA is permitting a higher three-point attempt rate than the Pels' 47.7% mark.

Chet can take advantage.

Through 10 games, Holmgren is generating a career-high 23.3% usage rate, and he just took 20 shots last time out. In his career, the Thunder big man is taking slightly more threes per game on the road (4.3) than at home (3.9), and he's put up at least four three-point tries in seven of 10 games this campaign.

In a pristine matchup and looking for his shot a little more this season, Holmgren can sink multiple triples today.

Chicago Bulls at Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic to Record a Triple-Double (-130)

Every game is a smash spot for Nikola Jokic, and that's especially true tonight versus the Chicago Bulls.

For the season, Jokic is averaging a ridiculous 28.7 points, 13.0 rebounds and 10.9 assists. He's recorded a triple-double in seven of 12 games, including four of six home games. In one of the home bouts where he missed a triple-double, he was just one board short.

The Bulls are a superb matchup as they're 19th in defensive rating while playing at the fourth-fastest pace. They're allowing the seventh-most boards per game to centers along with the 12th-most assists.

Jokic played Chicago once last year and posted 33 points, 12 rebounds and 14 dimes.

While a 14.0-point spread is legit cause for concern as there's a chance Jokic doesn't get his full minutes, Chicago should have no answers for the Denver Nuggets' superstar, and Jokic is capable of notching a triple-double in three quarters.
