It’s a quiet slate across the league this evening, with only three games on the schedule. But I’ve managed to find the best NBA player props, and I’m focused on Jalen Johnson, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey.
Read more in my NBA picks for Tuesday, November 25.

 Tyrese Maxey |

Prop #1: Jalen Johnson Over 23.5 points
With Trae Young sidelined, Jalen Johnson has stepped up and been the main man for the Atlanta Hawks. The Duke product is having a career year, averaging 22.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game. Johnson is doing it all for the Hawks and proving to be one of the best young players in the Association.
The 23-year-old has cashed the Over in points in four of his last five appearances, most recently balling out for 28 on Sunday in a victory over LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets. In November, Johnson is averaging 23.1 PPG.
Tonight, Johnson will cook the lowly Washington Wizards, who have won one game.

Prop #2: James Harden Over 24.5 points
Veteran Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is averaging 30.5 points in November, turning back the clock in a series of vintage performances. Harden scored just 19 points on Sunday evening, but he cashed the Over in five straight before that.
During that span, The Beard dropped an astonishing 55 points, 37, and 41. He is absolutely thriving, and no one has been able to stop him. That’s exactly why Harden’s total is slightly higher than usual.
While Harden only averaged 14.8 PPG against the Los Angeles Lakers last season, he’s on a different level in November.

Prop #3: Tyrese Maxey Over 7.5 assists
The Philadelphia 76ers actually look promising, and it’s not Joel Embiid leading the charge, but Tyrese Maxey, who is turning into a superstar in front of our eyes. The Kentucky product is second in the league in scoring with 33 PPG, but he’s also sixth in assists, averaging 7.8, which is my focus.
Maxey is Philly’s best playmaker, hitting the Over in dimes in two of his last three contests, and he’s averaging 7.0 assists in November. The guard is up against the Orlando Magic this evening, and he dished out eight dimes against them earlier this season.
The Magic are also allowing over 8.0 assists per night to point guards, so expect Maxey to facilitate at a high level once again.
