We’ve got some great matchups on the hardcourt tonight, including the Oklahoma City Thunder taking on the Detroit Pistons and the Boston Celtics facing the Denver Nuggets.
Games like those are loaded with talent, and I’ve found my favorite player props for those matchups and more NBA picks for Wednesday, February 25.

| Player | Pick |  |

Over 5.5 rebounds | +120 |
 Ty Jerome |
Over 16.5 points | +100 |
 Derrick White |
Over 6.5 assists | -105 |
Prop #1: Tobias Harris Over 5.5 rebounds
The Oklahoma City Thunder are really good. They’re 5-3 and ranking 10th in net rating, without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the lineup.
But they might be overmatched when they visit the Eastern Conference-leading Detroit Pistons in the second half of a back-to-back.
The Pistons already had a big edge on the glass, ranking third in rebounding rate to the Thunder’s 22nd. Heavy legs mean more missed shots and fewer boards for OKC.
That has me backing Tobias Harris to go Over 5.5 boards. He’s averaging 6.7 over his last 11 games, hauling down six or more eight times over that stretch.

Prop #2: Ty Jerome Over 16.5 points
The Memphis Grizzlies don’t have many bucket-getters these days. So, getting Ty Jerome back has been a big help.
And while sportsbooks have adjusted his point totals after some solid performances, it's not enough to scare me away against the Golden State Warriors.
Jerome has played just seven games since returning at the end of January. He’s averaging 19.3 points while shooting 39.5% from three and has topped 16.5 points in six of those games.
Tonight, he plays a Warriors team that is stumbling and ranks 17th in defensive rating since the start of February.

Prop #3: Derrick White Over 6.5 assists
The Boston Celtics continue to impress. They’ve won nine of their last 10 and now close out their West Coast road trip against the Denver Nuggets.
The Celtics aren’t known for moving the ball, but the guys who do, specifically Derrick White and Payton Pritchard, will try to pass the ball a little more with Jaylen Brown nursing a knee injury.
Today, my favorite bet is White to go Over 6.5 assists. He’s averaging 7.5 per game over his last 10 games and has topped this number seven times over that stretch. Denver ranks 20th in opponent assists per possession.
