Wizards vs. Cavaliers player props: James Harden Over 19.5 points
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: MNMT, DAZN CLE
- Analyst: Geoff Clark
Top pick: James Harden Over 19.5 points
Harden's 20-plus points prop is good up to 45%.
Trae Young is a ball-dominant, foul-drawing point guard who controls the offense, but Harden has the advantage of an MVP-caliber résumé and a strong history in this matchup.
Harden's teams are 10-0 straight-up all-time against Young's, and Harden has scored at least 20 points in eight of those meetings.
Although Harden has become more of a facilitator at this stage of his career, this matchup could encourage him to be more aggressive as a scorer.

76ers vs. Pacers player props: Tyrese Maxey Over 22.5 points
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: ESPN
- Analyst: Chris Walder
Top pick: Tyrese Maxey Over 22.5 points
Maxey has established himself as Philadelphia's leading scoring option through the opening stretch of the season. He's averaging 28.8 points through four games and has scored at least 26 in each appearance.
Maxey also scored at least 28 points in all four meetings with Indiana last season, making this a promising matchup for his scoring prop.

Heat vs. Hawks player props: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 29.5 points
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: NBA League Pass
- Analyst: Quinn Allen
Top pick: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 29.5 points
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been carrying Miami's offense, averaging 28.5 points per game on 55.7% shooting. He's scored at least 30 points twice in four outings and put up 29 in a recent narrow loss to Dallas.
Antetokounmpo's 35.6% usage rate reflects how much Miami relies on him offensively. With a high shot volume and a substantial share of the offense, he has a path to another 30-point performance against Atlanta.
Check out our full Heat vs. Hawks predictions.
Magic vs. Raptors player props: Desmond Bane Over 19.5 points
- Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
- TV: NBA League Pass
- Analyst: Dustin Saracini
Top pick: Desmond Bane Over 19.5 points
Bane's role in Orlando's offense has expanded amid injuries, and he recently scored 22 points while hitting four of nine attempts from beyond the arc against New York. With the Magic needing scoring, his increased opportunity and expected playing time make this a prop worth considering.
See the full Magic vs. Raptors predictions.
Knicks vs. Bulls player props: Mikal Bridges Over 1.5 3-pointers
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: FanDuel Sports Network
- Analyst: Shawn Krest
Top pick: Mikal Bridges Over 1.5 3-pointers
Bridges' early-season shooting slump may be behind him after he connected on four of eight three-point attempts in his last outing. His recent performance offers encouragement that he can get back to his usual production from beyond the arc.
See our full Knicks vs. Bulls predictions.
Warriors vs. Timberwolves player props: Stephen Curry Over 24.5 points
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: NBA League Pass
- Analyst: Zak Hanshew
Top pick: Stephen Curry Over 24.5 points
Curry's scoring is one of the player-prop angles to watch as the Golden State Warriors visit the Minnesota Timberwolves. See Hanshew's full Warriors vs. Timberwolves predictions for his matchup analysis.
Spurs vs. Jazz player props: Victor Wembanyama Over 24.5 points
- Time: 9 p.m. ET
- TV: FanDuel Sports Network
- Analyst: Quinn Allen
Top pick: Victor Wembanyama Over 24.5 points
Utah's frontcourt injuries could leave the Jazz vulnerable against Wembanyama. He scored 29 points in his most recent outing and averaged 30.3 points per game across three meetings with Utah last season, giving him a favorable scoring matchup.
See our full Spurs vs. Jazz predictions.
Thunder vs. Mavericks player props: Cooper Flagg Over 39.5 PRA
- Time: 9:30 p.m. ET
- TV: FanDuel Sports Network
- Analyst: Ed Scimia
Top pick: Cooper Flagg Over 39.5 PRA
Flagg is expected to take on a central role in Dallas' offense. He recorded 29 points, 11 assists, and six rebounds against Miami, and has reached 40 combined points, rebounds, and assists in two of the Mavericks' first three games.
Scimia likes Flagg to clear the 39.5 PRA line. See the full Thunder vs. Mavericks predictions.
Lakers vs. Clippers player props: Darius Garland Over 25.5 points
- Time: 10:30 p.m. ET
- TV: Spectrum SportsNet, ClipperVision
- Analyst: Tom Oldfield
Top pick: Darius Garland Over 25.5 points
Garland has been getting plenty of scoring opportunities as the Clippers' leading offensive threat. His shot volume and ability to attack the Lakers' backcourt give him a path to another productive night.
