The NBA was off Saturday and had a light Sunday of games due to Christmas. That is why this is not a normal Tuesday, as we have 10 games on the slate for Tuesday. We will find no shortage of things to wager on. If you want to get access to all of the plays from our handicappers, check out the FTN NBA Bet Tracker. It is still early in the day, but here are my best bets so far.
Best NBA Points Prop Bet
Deandre Ayton Over 20.5 Points
This number may seem a bit elevated, but Deandre Ayton has gone for 20 or more in 10 of the last 15 games. Devin Booker started the last game but was unable to finish it and is out for Tuesday. That means the Suns are going to need scoring and Ayton was one of the few guys able to provide it when Booker missed time before.
Best NBA Rebound Prop Bet
Josh Giddey Over 8.5 Rebounds
Josh Giddey has reached double-digits rebounds in three of the last four games. He draws a paced-up spot against a bad defensive team here in San Antonio, which should translate to more missed shots and more rebounding opportunities to help him get there.
Best NBA Assist Prop Bet
Nikola Jokic Over 9.5 Assists
Nikola Jokic is doing it all lately. He has triple-doubles in three of the last four games and has eight or more assists in 13 straight. His supporting cast is healthy for the first time in about two years. Jamaal Murray, Michael Porter, Aaron Gordon and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are all playing well into the 35 minute per game mark lately and having those other scoring threats on the floor with a passer like Jokic is why the Nuggets are so dangerous moving forward.
