Monday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook | This Season: 12-18 (-5.85 units)

Brandon Ingram Over 32.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds (-120)

Brandon Ingram is averaging 23.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game this season. As someone who consistently pulls down at least nine rebounds + assists, whether he hits this prop will come down to his scoring. In two of his last three games, he’s scored fewer than 20 points. However, before that stretch, he’d scored at least 20 in 12 consecutive games.

Ingram has scored 23 and 31 in his two games against the Kings this season. He’s only combined for seven rebounds + assists in both contests. However, with how he’s been playing of late, he will be near or over 10 rebounds + assists tonight. With the Kings allowing the 10th-most points in the league, Ingram will score enough to hit this over.

Jrue Holiday Over 5.5 Assists (+145)

Jrue Holiday averages 5.2 assists per game, the most of any Celtics player. He’s recorded 15 assists in his last two games and has seven games with six or more assists this season. When these two teams met back on Nov. 1, Holiday finished with just four assists, but he also only played 25 minutes. He’s averaging 34.5 minutes per game.

The Pacers are allowing 125.9 points per game. The Celtics are averaging 116.7 per game. In a matchup where the Celtics could score over 150 points, as they did in the first meeting, there’s no reason not to take their leading assist man to go over his season average. While this line is set at 4.5 for a price of -120 or worse at every major sportsbook, we recommend playing this alt line for a better price.

CJ McCollum Over 5.5 Assists (+114)

CJ McCollum has played in eight games this season and recorded at least five assists in each. He has at least six assists in four of his games, and he’s averaging 5.9 per game this season.

This line is questionable, especially when you look at his opponent. The Kings are allowing the fifth-most assists per game this season. Even if other New Orleans players have good nights, McCollum still has such a high floor that there is no reason not to take this prop tonight. With a price of +114 at DraftKings Sportsbook, this is one of the highest-value plays of the night.
