You Won't Believe These Shocking NBA Prop Bets: Can Josh Hart, Tyrese Maxey, and De’Aaron Fox Change Your Fortune Tonight?
The NBA landscape is poised for an exciting night of basketball this Tuesday, with a packed six-game slate. However, several marquee players will be sidelined, including stars like Steph Curry, Joel Embiid, Victor Wembanyama, and Ja Morant. Their absence not only alters the dynamics of the games but also opens up opportunities for emerging talent to step into the spotlight.
With these significant players out, eyes will be on those who are likely to take on bigger roles, especially Tyrese Maxey of the Philadelphia 76ers and De’Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings. Both are set to capitalize on the increased responsibility, and there's a lot of buzz around their potential performances. Here’s a breakdown of some intriguing player props for tonight's action.
Key Player Props for Tuesday Night
Tyrese Maxey OVER 31.5 Points (-111)
Maxey is in a prime position to shine against the Washington Wizards, especially with Joel Embiid out. This season, he’s averaged 32.3 points per game, demonstrating impressive shooting with a 46.8% success rate from the field and a formidable 38.4% from three-point range. He’s leading the league with an average of 22.9 shots per game, and his minutes on the court are also tops in the NBA, averaging 40.7 minutes. Coming off a spectacular 44-point game against the Atlanta Hawks, he also posted 39 points against the Wizards earlier this season. With the Wizards sitting at the bottom of the league in defensive rating at 122.5, they are allowing over 25 points per game to opposing point guards, making Maxey a strong candidate to exceed his points prop.
De’Aaron Fox OVER 24.5 Points (-118)
Fox looks to have an advantageous matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, especially with rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama sitting this one out. In the past seven games without Wembanyama, Fox has been lights out, averaging 26.1 points on 18.0 shots per game while shooting at a 49.2% clip from the field. He has scored at least 25 points in six of those seven games, including a solid 26-point outing against Memphis previously. The Grizzlies have struggled defensively, allowing an average of 28.14 points per game to opposing point guards, ranking third-worst in the league. With Fox's current form and opportunity for shots, he appears poised to surpass his points total easily.
Immanuel Quickley OVER 27.5 Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-126)
With RJ Barrett out of the lineup, Immanuel Quickley has seen his role expand significantly. In his recent outings, he has tallied totals of 29 and 35 in points, rebounds, and assists combined. Currently, he averages 16.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. Facing a Portland team that has been defensively challenged—ranking last in points allowed to point guards with an average of 30.05 per game—Quickley seems well-positioned to clear the line set for his combined stats.
Josh Hart OVER 15.5 Rebounds and Assists (+102)
Josh Hart is making waves since being inserted into the starting lineup, particularly with teammates Landry Shamet and OG Anunoby out. He’s currently averaging 17.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game, clearing the prop of 15.5 for rebounds and assists in three of four games. Hart, who is one of the best rebounding wings in the league, will be critical in the Knicks' matchup against the Boston Celtics. His season averages have climbed to 7.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists, indicating a strong potential to excel once again.
As the games unfold, fans will be watching closely to see how these players step up in the absence of their superstar counterparts. Each of these props not only reflects potential individual success but also hints at how the night's matchups could shift the balance of power in the league.
