| Player | Pick |  |

 Nickeil Alexander-Walker |
Over 16.5 points | -110 |

Over 2.5 made threes | +105 |
 Jaime Jaquez |
Over 11.5 points | -125 |
Prop #1: Nickeil Alexander-Walker Over 16.5 points
With Trae Young already ruled out, someone has to pick up the scoring slack, and that player is guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
Alexander-Walker has logged over 30 minutes and topped 16 points in five straight games, and should be ready to take on a larger offensive role tonight.
The Atlanta Hawks face a Cleveland Cavaliers team ranked No. 11 in defensive efficiency, but vulnerable against quick, versatile scoring guards like Alexander-Walker in transition.
Expect a fast-paced matchup, and with his ability to score from all three levels, Alexander-Walker should comfortably hit at least 17 points against the Cavs tonight.

Prop #2: Jalen Brunson Over 2.5 made threes
Jalen Brunson knocked down three triples at the United Center on Halloween night, and bettors are again getting a fair number on him to make at least three when the New York Knicks host the Chicago Bulls.
Brunson remains the Knicks’ primary scoring sparkplug, capable of heating up from anywhere on the floor. Despite shooting just 32.5% from deep, he’s averaging over eight 3-point attempts per game, and I expect him to let it fly tonight.
The Bulls own the NBA’s best 3-point defense, but New York shot 40% from beyond the arc against them on Friday.

Prop #3: Jaime Jaquez Over 11.5 points
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez continues to make noise in the NBA Sixth Man of the Year race, and his scoring prop is worth a look tonight as the Heat take on the Los Angeles Lakers.
Jaquez has logged at least 27 minutes and scored 12 or more points in four of his last five outings. He’s coming off a quiet six-point effort against a tough San Antonio Spurs defense, but this matchup sets up far better for him.
The Lakers’ defense has been average, surrendering 46 points per game in the paint and 13 offensive rebounds nightly. Those vulnerabilities give Jaquez a great chance to clear his scoring prop total tonight.
