Tuesday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook | This Season: 22-35 (-13.81 units)

Domantas Sabonis Under 12.5 Rebounds (+106)

Sabonis had 21 rebounds in Sunday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. However, he went five consecutive games with 12 or fewer rebounds before that performance. He faces the Charlotte Hornets tonight, a team allowing the 10th-most rebounds per game.

The Sacramento Kings should dominate tonight's contest. The Hornets are the ninth-worst shooting team in the league, which should mean plenty of missed shots and opportunities for rebounds tonight. However, Sabonis rarely goes over 12 rebounds unless he's in the middle of an incredible performance. In a game where his minutes may be reduced, take his under.

Joel Embiid Under 34.5 Points (+105)

Embiid had an incredible December. He averaged 40.2 points per game, scoring 40 or more on five occasions. Back on Dec. 18, he scored 40 against the Chicago Bulls.

With Embiid averaging 35 points per game, it may be a bit shocking that we're suggesting you take his under. However, the Bulls are allowing the fewest points in the paint this season. Embiid needed to put up 28 shots in his last meeting with Chicago to hit 40 points. Those 28 shots were his second-most all season and significantly more than his season average of 21.3. Coming off an ankle injury, Embiid will barely crack 30 in a tough matchup.

Desmond Bane Over 3.5 Made Three-Pointers (+105)

Bane has gone three consecutive games without making more than three three-pointers. However, he's also made at least two in each of those contests and at least three in 15 of his last 16 games.

The San Antonio Spurs are allowing opponents to hit 39.2% of their shots from beyond the arc. That's the second-worst mark in the league. Considering how bad the Grizzlies' perimeter defense is, this should be a very high-scoring game. Bane has been cold in his last three games but will get right against one of the worst shooting defenses in the NBA.
