NBA Player Props Today – Monday, December 4, 2023

Domantas Sabonis Over/Under 11.5 Rebounds

NBA In-Season Tournament playoff game or not, 12 rebounds is a lot of rebounds in a game against the Pelicans, which are the 4th-best rebounding team in the league across their last 10 contests. During that stretch, the Pelicans have also allowed the 4th-fewest opponent rebounds per contest. The last player to record more than 11 rebounds against the Pelicans was Nikola Jokic on November 17. Sabonis is going to find life difficult on the glass this evening, making the under at plus money a worthwhile risk.

Trey Murphy Over/Under 10.5 Points

Trey Murphy had 18 points in his first game of the season on Friday, but that was a game against the Spurs, which rank 25th in defensive efficiency and are winless across their last 10 contests. The Kings are far from a defensive juggernaut, but they are allowing the 7th-fewest shot attempts from beyond the arc of any team in the league this year when playing at home. Murphy is unlikely to have an open season from the perimeter again on Monday against a more talented opponent in a playoff-like atmosphere.

Brandon Ingram More/Less Than 23.0 Points

Brandon Ingram is averaging 23.4 points per game this season and tonight gets to put his talent on display on national television in the quarterfinals of the NBA In-Season Tournament. Ingram is quietly having one of his best seasons as a professional, shooting a career-best 49.8% from the floor on similarly-high volume as previous seasons. The Kings have struggled against opposing forwards in recent weeks, allowing 34 points to Kawhi Leonard and 29 points to Andrew Wiggins as two notable examples. Ingram could be in for a big night on Monday.
