Best NBA Player Props for Tuesday, February 24th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, February 24th:
- Mikal Bridges Over/Under 13.5 Points
- Kon Knueppel Over/Under 17.5 Points
- Bam Adebayo Over/Under 27.5 Points + Rebounds
Mikal Bridges OVER 13.5 Points (-105, BetMGM)
BETMGMBridges is the definition of a road warrior. He’s averaging 18.0 points in 27 road games this season, shooting 53.4% from the field, including 41.4% from 3-point territory. He’s played 11 road games with New York’s starting lineup at full strength, clearing this number in 9 of those contests and only once failing to score in double figures.
On Christmas Day, Bridges scored 12 points on only 10 field goal attempts against Cleveland. He had 16 points against them on opening night back in October. Last season, he scored 17, 8, 14, and 19 points in their head-to-head meetings.
Cleveland often has to help defensively in these matchups against Jalen Brunson, which leaves open opportunities for New York’s other scoring options. Bridges should have plenty of volume from the field this evening.
Kon Knueppel OVER 17.5 Points (-110, Hard Rock)
HARDROCKIn February, Knueppel is averaging 22.3 points per game and has scored at least 17 points in 7 of his 8 games played. During that same time period, the Bulls rank 29th in defensive rating and 11th in pace. They have been particularly poor defending the perimeter, allowing the highest success rate in the league on such attempts.
The return of Miles Bridges could eat into Knueppel’s volume to an extent, but this is a number that Knueppel has eclipsed in 22 of 29 road contests, even with Bridges active. ScoresAndOdds has Knueppel projected for 21.1 points this evening.
Bam Adebayo UNDER 27.5 Points + Rebounds (-110, BetMGM)
BETMGMIn his last 7 road games with Tyler Herro active, Adebayo has eclipsed this number only once, and he’s gone under in 4 consecutive road games too.
Only once in 6 road games this season has Adebayo recorded more than 14 rebound chances, and not since December has Adebayo taken more than 14 shots in a game in which Herro has played.
During February, the Bucks rank 6th in rebound% overall and have allowed the 10th-fewest rebounds per game. Adebayo shoots nearly a third of his shots from the paint (non-restricted area) – Milwaukee has held opponents to a league-low 31.0% shooting on such attempts this month.
There are reasons to think Adebayo could struggle in this matchup.
