We have a jam-packed schedule across the Association with 14 games on the slate. That means no shortage of stars taking the floor, and I’ve dug deep to find the best NBA player props, including looks at Tyrese Maxey, Brandon Ingram, and Andrew Nembhard.

Prop #1: Tyrese Maxey Over 28.5 points
Tyrese Maxey is having a career year as the top man for the Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 31.7 points, 7.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds while draining 39.9% of his triples.
Maxey has cashed the Over in points in four of his last six, and also in back-to-back contests. The guard dropped 38 on the Dallas Mavericks over the weekend and also poured in 30 points on Friday evening.
The Sixers host the Brooklyn Nets tonight, and Maxey is averaging 31.5 PPG at home. While he’s actually averaging just 24 points across two meetings with Brooklyn this season, Maxey is too hot to ignore.

Prop #2: Brandon Ingram Over 23.5 points
Trading for Brandon Ingram was clearly a great move for the Toronto Raptors. He’s emerged as one of their best players and is a clear franchise piece, averaging 22 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists.
The veteran has hit the Over in points in five of his last six, even scoring 30+ in two of those contests. Ingram has also cashed the Over in two of his last three road outings, and the Raps are in South Beach tonight visiting the Miami Heat.
Earlier this month, he dropped 28 against Miami.

Prop #3: Andrew Nembhard Under 6.5 assists
With no Tyrese Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers have relied on Andrew Nembhard to step up – especially as a playmaker. The Gonzaga product has been dropping dimes, averaging 6.4 assists per night. However, I’m eyeing him to stay below that number this evening.
Nembhard has cashed the Under in dimes in three of his last four, and he’s averaging 6.3 assists at home. The Milwaukee Bucks are also around the middle of the pack in the league in opponent assists allowed.
I have no doubts Nembhard will make an impact as a facilitator, but he'll stay Under 6.5 dimes.
