🏀 NBA Player Props & Best Bets Tonight: Brunson, Mitchell, Doncic Featured In 11-Game Slate

Tuesday brings an packed 11-game schedule, and I've singled out three NBA player props that jump off the page, featuring plenty of star power ahead of the 7 p.m. ET tipoff.

I’ve circled Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, and Luka Doncic as my top plays for tonight, so there’s a lot to be excited about on this slate. Let’s lock it in.

💰 Best NBA player prop: Who's stopping Brunson in Cleveland? (-118)

Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.

I'm confident Brunson will be able to cook James Harden tonight as the primary ball-handler. He's gone over this number just once in his last three games, but is still averaging 27 points this season and is going up against a team averaging 20 fouls per game. Brunson is one of the best at getting to the free-throw line, and if he plays close to 40 minutes (averaging 36 this month), we'll see him fly past this number in the fourth quarter.

Spida is the answer at home tonight vs. Knicks (-108)

Mitchell went over this number in four straight games prior to the break, but has been slow coming out of it, dropping over 30 just once in three games. However, expect a heavy workload in what should be a close game against the Knicks at home. With the total one of the highest of the night (232.5), there's going to be plenty of points to go around. 

Doncic to splash from deep vs. Magic (-136)

Doncic has been a menace from 3-point land this month, dropping 12 shots from deep over his last two games alone. Yes, Orlanda has some of the best perimeter defense in basketball, allowing just 11 3-pointers per game, but the volume from Doncic will be enough to splash four 3-pointers tonight. He's averaging 10 shots from deep this month.

NBA Play of the Day

Here is LJ Blut's X video Play of the Day that features Celtics -5.

Both the Celtics and Suns are entering this matchup pretty banged up, dealing with key injuries and rotation uncertainty. However, one of these teams clearly has the significantly deeper roster, and that would be the Celtics. Boston’s depth has been a strength all season, with multiple players capable of stepping up and contributing on both ends of the floor.

Even if a starter is limited or sidelined, they have reliable options off the bench who can handle scoring, playmaking, and defensive assignments. That versatility and balance should give the Celtics a clear edge in this matchup.

💡 How I'm betting the NBA slate

Tuesday's card is built around matchup edges I’ve identified, with unit sizes adjusted based on where I see the strongest value. All three bets today are volume plays, focused on stars who will be playing in close games, which gives us more opportunity to go over their specific number. I'm using $50 as my unit size, meaning I'm in for $200 today.

🎟️ Most-bet NBA player props tonight

Betting insights via BetMGM.

It's interesting that Donovan Clingan's Under 15.5 rebounds + assists (-130) is the most-bet player prop at BetMGM tonight, but the odds have moved to -118.

With two of the Trail Blazers' top three rebounders, Deni Avdija and Robert Williams III, either out or questionable, I would caution against playing an Under on Clingan's rebounds. His Under 12.5 rebounds (-110) odds have also moved in the opposite direction to -105.
