Best NBA Player Props for Tuesday, March 3rd
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, March 3rd:
- Justin Champagnie Over/Under 6.5 Rebounds
- VJ Edgecombe Over/Under 5.5 Rebounds
- Josh Hart Over/Under 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Justin Champagnie OVER 6.5 Rebounds (+104, FanDuel)
FANDUELChampagnie hasn’t been clearing this number at a high rate, but he should have a good opportunity to make an impact on the glass on Tuesday. Orlando has allowed the 3rd-most rebounds per game since the All-Star break, including the 5th-most rebounds per game to opposing forwards. Champagnie should be good for 20+ minutes tonight in a semi-competitive game script. He averaged 6.0 rebounds per game in January and 5.7 rebounds per game in February, giving this play good value at plus money.
V.J. Edgecombe OVER 5.5 Rebounds (+105, Caesars)
CAESARSAccording to CourtIQ, Edgecombe is averaging 6.0 rebounds per 36 minutes this season with Joel Embiid and Paul George off of the floor. He’s cleared this number in 10 of 18 games (56%) with both players inactive, including 5 of 8 home contests. Since the All-Star break, the Spurs are allowing the 5th-most rebounds per game. At plus money, this wager is +EV.
Josh Hart OVER 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-113, FanDuel)
FANDUELHart is the glue that holds everything together for the Knicks. He does all of the dirty work, fighting for loose balls, crashing the glass, and generally making life difficult for opponents. He enters play on Tuesday having amassed 11+ rebound chances in 7 of his last 10 games and 8+ potential assists in each of his last 3 trips to the hardwood. He’s cleared this number in 54% of his road games this season and should have a good chance to continue that trend tonight in what should be a competitive matchup against the Raptors.
