The NBA has an action-packed 10-game slate on tap for Tuesday evening beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET. However, given that the league’s trade deadline is only days away, it’s possible we see a few unexpected playing time decisions tonight across the Association.
The NBA injury report, is long today, with notable stars like Devin Booker, Joel Embiid, and Stephen Curry already ruled out. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Austin Reaves are among the players who are listed as questionable as of this writing.
As always, be sure to use tools like CourtIQ and our NBA starting lineups page to evaluate how injuries impact usage and to search for inefficiencies in the player prop and DFS markets.

Best NBA Player Props for Tuesday, February 3rd
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, February 3rd:
- Gui Santos Over/Under 14.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
- Tyrese Maxey Over/Under 6.5 Assists
- Jrue Holiday Over/Under 18.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Gui Santos OVER 14.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (+100, BetMGM)
BETMGMIn his last 3 games with both Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler sidelined, Santos has played 27, 26, and 26 minutes. According to RotoGrinders’ CourtIQ, Santos is averaging 17.4 PRA per 26 minutes this season with both of Golden State’s stars unavailable.
This season, Santos has recorded at least 15 PRA in all 7 games in which he’s played at least 20 minutes. This is a great price to invest in him tonight.
Tyrese Maxey OVER 6.5 Assists (-110, BetMGM)
BETMGMMaxey hasn’t put up tremendous assist numbers with Joel Embiid off of the floor this season, but this could be a spot in which he manages to collect a few extra dimes. Since losing Jimmy Butler to a season-ending injury, Golden State has allowed the most assists per game in the NBA, including the 2nd-most assists per game to guards. Maxey had 10 potential assists against the Hornets and 18 potential assists against the Suns in his last 2 games with Embiid inactive. If he gets to 12 potential assists this evening, that should be more than enough to get the job done.
Jrue Holiday OVER 18.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-135, BetMGM)
BETMGMIn 5 games with Deni Avdija unavailable this season, Holiday has cleared this number 4 times, never playing fewer than 20 minutes. According to CourtIQ, Holiday is averaging 19.9 points + rebounds + assists per 20 minutes this year with Avdija off of the floor.
This is a playable number at home against a Phoenix team that ranks only 13th in defensive rating in 5 games since Devin Booker last played.
