Tuesday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets

This Season: 50-63 (-7.70 units) | Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook

Karl-Anthony Towns Under 23.5 Points (-115)

After scoring at least 26 points in four of the previous five games, Karl-Anthony Towns has gone cold from the field in his last two games, scoring a combined 24 points. Against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, he managed just 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting from the field. Towns is averaging 24.3 points per game, so if he breaks out of his slump, he could easily hit this over, but I'm backing his under one more time.

Towns has only faced the 76ers once this season. In that game, he scored 21 points. Of note, that game came right after he scored at least 30 in three consecutive games. In the game after his so-so performance against the 76ers, he scored 46 points. The 76ers are allowing 115.8 points per game, which ranks just 21st in the league.

However, Towns is averaging 23.1 points per game. If he scores 23 tonight, he misses this over. He will shoot better than he has, but don't expect him to hit his season average in what is just an average matchup.

Draymond Green Under 5.5 Assists (-120)

Draymond Green is averaging 5.7 assists in March, thanks in large part to a very hot start to the month. He recorded at least seven assists in his first six games of March. Since then, he's recorded six assists in two of his last nine games. He hasn't gone over that total once.

With a low ceiling, fading Green tonight feels like the best thing to do. He's averaging 5.6 assists per game this season, and this total is set right at that season average. However, he hasn't been consistent in getting to that number this season.

For example, the Warriors just scored 148 points against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. Green had two assists. Green has faced the Grizzlies three times this season, topping 5.5 assists just once. In one of those games, he didn't record a single assist.

Anthony Edwards Over 3.5 Made Three-Pointers (-115)

Anthony Edwards has made four three-pointers in back-to-back games, and now he faces a Nuggets team that ranks just 21st in three-pointers allowed per game.

Edwards has faced the Nuggets three times this season. In two of those games, he made at least five three-pointers. In the other one, he made just three threes, but if that is his floor against this team, there is no reason not to back him at this price tonight.

Edwards is averaging four made three-pointers per game. Considering the Nuggets are a slightly better-than-average matchup, and one he's exploited this season, he should be able to hit that season average tonight. Additionally, he's shooting well entering this game, so there's no reason to have any concerns about him.
