NBA Player Props Today – Tuesday, December 10, 2024
- Cole Anthony Over/Under 2.5 Assists
- Brook Lopez Over/Under 14.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
- Luka Doncic Over/Under 8.5 Rebounds
Cole Anthony OVER 2.5 Assists (-170, DraftKings)
Tonight, Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Gary Harris have been ruled out for the Magic. According to RotoGrinders CourtIQ, Cole Anthony sees a moderate 2.3% usage increase with those 3 players off of the floor and is averaging 5.3 assists per 25 minutes in such situations. On Sunday, Anthony played 29 minutes against the Suns and finished with 3 assists on 6 potential assists. If he sees near 30 minutes of action again this evening, he should be able to get the job done.
Brook Lopez UNDER 14.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-109, Bally)
Brook Lopez has been playing a lot of minutes in recent weeks, but his per-minute production has regressed substantially compared to earlier in the season. In December, Lopez is averaging only 4.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game. On Sunday against the Nets, Lopez played only 26 minutes – his fewest minutes in a game since a November 8 blowout loss to the Knicks. This market number is likely a little bit too high given Lopez’s declining usage and potentially reduced role.
Luka Doncic OVER 8.5 Rebounds (-128, FanDuel)
Since returning from injury at the beginning of December, Luka Doncic is averaging 10.5 rebounds and 14.8 rebound chances per contest. Tonight, he will play an Oklahoma City team that has allowed more rebounds per game to guards this season than any other team in the league. This evening is also an NBA knockout-round contest, so it’s possible that Doncic sees an expanded workload relative to a normal regular season game. He should have a good chance to get to double-digit boards once again.
