There are a whopping 10 games on tonight’s NBA schedule, so the player prop markets are packed with options.
My top plays include Ty Jerome, the Memphis Grizzlies’ best (and arguably only) scoring option, and locking in Dejounte Murray’s point totals before sportsbooks fully catch on to his form.

Prop #1: Wendell Carter Jr. Over 8.5 rebounds
Wendell Carter Jr. has been dominating the glass lately, and the Orlando Magic big man will have a great opportunity to continue that against the Washington Wizards.
Carter is averaging 9.2 rebounds over his last 10 games and has pulled down nine or more boards in five of his last seven outings.
Meanwhile, the Wizards struggle on the glass, ranking dead last in both rebounding rate and opponent rebounds per game.

Prop #2: Ty Jerome Over 17.5 points
The Memphis Grizzlies are short on scorers right now, and Ty Jerome has stepped up as the last man standing.
Since returning from injury at the end of January, the Grizzlies shooting guard has played eight games, averaging 19.6 points while hitting 41.2% of his shots from beyond the arc.
Tonight, he faces the Minnesota Timberwolves, who rank 16th in opponent 3-point percentage and might ease off in a game with a 14.5-point spread.
As long as sportsbooks offer reasonable lines on Jerome, betting the Over remains a solid play.

Prop #3: Dejounte Murray Over 13.5 points
I wouldn’t blame you if you forgot that Dejounte Murray now plays for the New Orleans Pelicans, having spent over a year sidelined recovering from an Achilles injury.
But in his three games back, Murray's already starting to look like the player we remember, putting up 15.6 points per game with a .545 effective field goal percentage. It won’t be long before sportsbooks fully adjust to his form.
His point total against the Los Angeles Lakers is set at 13.5. The Lakers rank 22nd in defensive rating and 27th in opponent eFG%.
