Today's 3 Best NBA Player Props

So you looked at the NBA schedule tonight and you only saw three games. Well, don't worry, even if you didn't want to make a play on tonight's slate of games, there's more than enough player props that are worth your time.

Here's a look at the top three.

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo - Points + Rebounds Over 39.5 (DraftKings)

The Bucks have dealt with a lineup missing key names all season long. They just got Jrue Holiday back on the court, which of course is a plus, but Khris Middleton is in the NBA's health and safety protocols, while Brook Lopez is still out with back issues.

At 4-6 and the Sixers up next, expect a big night of Giannis carrying the load against an equally depleted Sixers team. Antetokounmpo has been carrying the load for sure, averaging 27.3 points, 11.1 rebounds overall, with 29 points and 18 rebounds against Washington the other night. In BetQL's simulations of this matchup, Giannis averaged 35.1 points per game and 12.2 rebounds.

With Joel Embiid in COVID protocols and out tonight, expect a big-time performance from The Greek Freak.

2. Rudy Gobert - Over 13.5 Rebounds (FanDuel)

The Jazz have dropped two straight, but they’re at home Tuesday night against the Hawks, where they’re 2-1 ATS and 3-0 straight up on the season. They also only lost back-to-back games three times all of last season.

Rudy Gobert has been all over the boards, as usual, this year, averaging 16.1 rebounds per game, including 15 against Atlanta earlier this year. Over his last four games, he's getting 14.5.

So even if most of those trends go a bit below his season average, that 13.5 number is low enough to feel good about taking the over on Gobert's total rebounds.

3. Damian Lillard - Under 25.5 points (BetMGM)

Until we start to see a consistent trend in the opposite direction, Lillard's struggles will continue to be a conversation. He hasn't been himself this year, averaging just 18.5 points per game on 35.1 percent shooting (24.7 percent from three).

Portland (5-5, 4-6 ATS) heads to the Clippers (5-4, 5-4 ATS) Tuesday for already their third meeting in 15 days, and it'll be the start of a four-game road trip. Each team has already won by double-digits on their home floor.

Lillard is right on his season average against the Clips in two games this year (18.5 ppg) and shot just 40.6 percent in those two games this year.

In three of his last four games, he's scored over 25 points just once (26 against Cleveland). He did have 25 in Saturday's win over the Lakers, which came on 47 percent shooting and 43 percent from three, but there was still that 2-for-13, four-point outing against the Pacers before that, so the roller coaster is still pretty much going full speed for him.
