| Player | Pick |  |

 Tyrese Maxey |
Over 27.5 points | -115 |
 Giannis Antetokounmpo |
Under 31.5 points | -120 |
 Stephen Curry |
Over 4.5 threes | -105 |
Prop #1: Tyrese Maxey Over 27.5 points
Tyrese Maxey is carrying the Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 34 points across three games, clearing the Over twice, and looks well on his way to an All-Star appearance if he can keep up the impressive play.
That includes a 43-point eruption on Monday evening against the Orlando Magic, where Maxey led Philly to a 136-124 win. Maxey will face the lowly Washington Wizards tonight, and he scored 29 points against them in one meeting in 2024-25.
The point guard will stay hot and dominate again.

Prop #2: Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 31.5 points
It’s not often I’m going to bet on Giannis Antetokounmpo to score fewer than 30 points in a game, especially when he’s playing so well, averaging 36 PPG across three outings. However, tonight’s opponent will contain The Greek Freak.
The New York Knicks held Giannis to 26 PPG across three meetings last season. New York ranks fifth in defensive rating in the early going. That makes sense, considering Mike Brown is a coach who historically prioritizes defense.
Giannis has cashed the Under in points once this season in three games, and it will happen again here.

Prop #3: Stephen Curry Over 4.5 threes
There is practically no one in the league who will have a total this high on a nightly basis, but we’re talking about the best shooter to ever live. Stephen Curry is shooting 45% from downtown so far, averaging 5.3 makes on 11.7 attempts per contest.
Steph has cashed the Over in triples in two of his last three appearances. He still drained four on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies, too, and tonight presents an opportunity for Curry to get hot from deep.
The veteran shot 50% from long range against the Los Angeles Clippers last season, averaging 5.7 makes on 11.3 attempts across three meetings.
