Prop #1: Franz Wagner Over 1.5 threes
The New York Knicks have lived and died on the perimeter in the early portion of this season, and it could burn them in tonight’s matchup against the Orlando Magic.
New York takes the third-most 3-pointers per game, while allowing the sixth-most attempts from beyond the arc per game. They also allow opponents to hit nearly 40 percent of those attempts.
Franz Wagner spent a lot of time this summer working on his shooting mechanics, and it appears to be paying early dividends. Wagner enters this matchup shooting 37% from three on 4.2 attempts per game.
Wagner has hit multiple threes in six of his 11 games played this season, and at even money, I’m more than happy to back him to do it again in a juicy matchup.

Prop #2: Tari Eason Over 5.5 rebounds
The Houston Rockets should liftoff on the glass tonight when they play host to the Washington Wizards.
Washington ranks 24th in rebounding rate and dead last in opponent rebounds per game.
Most of the obvious rebounding candidates (Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson) have been juiced to the point where they’ve lost most of their value. Jarbari Smith Jr. Over 6.5 (-115) doesn’t look too bad, but my favorite is Tari Eason Over 5.5 at +115.
Houston's power forward is averaging 5.1 rebounds per game off the bench this season, and Eason could see extended minutes tonight with the Rockets favored by a massive 17 points at home.

Prop #3: Chet Holmgren Over 1.5 assists
Oklahoma City Thunder star Chet Holmgren is averaging 19.6 points while shooting nearly 60% from the floor and 37.1% from three, including contributing 8.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. He’s coming off a 23-point performance where he went a perfect 9-for-9 from the field with 11 rebounds and two assists.
It’s not surprising that a Luka Doncic-led team isn’t the strongest defensively. The Los Angeles Lakers rank 22nd in defensive rating, and it’s the extra pass that’s really burning them. L.A. enters tonight allowing the sixth-most assists per possession per game.
Holmgren has dished out two or more dimes in six of his eight games played this season, and we are getting great plus money for him to do it again.
