It’s a light night of action with just four games on the schedule, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of value to be found in the NBA player props market. 

My favorites include LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards to get hot from downtown and cash us some even-money props in the process.

Those and more NBA picks for Monday, February 2, are below.

Prop #1: LaMelo Ball Over 3.5 Made Threes

+100 at bet365

You can’t stop the buzz around these Charlotte Hornets, who’ve won six in a row, and the New Orleans Pelicans won’t stop LaMelo Ball from jacking up treys.

Ball has been a big part of the hype around this team, thanks to his 3-point prowess. The Hornets guard is shooting 43.8% from beyond the arc over his last six games.

The Pelicans' perimeter defense is putrid, surrendering the second-most 3-point attempts and makes per game. 

At even money, Ball to drain 4+ threes is a great bet tonight, something he’s done three times over this stretch.

Prop #2: Jabari Smith Jr. Over 7.5 Rebounds

+100 at bet365

The only interesting thing about the Houston Rockets visiting the Indiana Pacers is that it’s one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA going against the worst.

The long and athletic Rockets lead the NBA in rebounding rate, while the Pacers have the fourth-lowest and surrender the fourth-most opponent rebounds per game.

The Rocket who lifts off on the boards here is Jabari Smith Jr. The 22-year-old is averaging 7.0 rebounds per game. That’s up to 8.2 over his last five games, and he’s hauled down eight boards or more four times over that span.

Prop #3: Anthony Edwards Over 3.5 Made Threes

+100 at bet365

Anthony Edwards went off for 33 points in a win over the Memphis Grizzlies last time out, and he did it while not having a great shooting night. 

Now, they go at it again tonight, and I’m betting that changes.

The Grizzlies’ injury report is something out of a horror show and is part of why they’ve lost 13 of their last 16 games. And now, they allow the fifth-most threes per game.

Ant went just 1-for-6 from three in that game, but is shooting 44.8% from deep over his last 12, hitting four or more 3-pointers eight times.

It's not an interesting story. Seriously.
