Top NBA Player Props for Tuesday

• Jalen Brunson, Knicks — 26+ points
• DeMar DeRozan, Kings — 18+ points
• Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers — 27+ points

Jalen Brunson, Knicks — 26 or More Points

The Knicks’ offensive engine, Jalen Brunson, is currently averaging 26.3 points and 3.4 assists per game. He has surpassed the 23-point mark in six of his last seven outings, demonstrating the kind of consistency that makes him an appealing prop target on Tuesday night.

DeMar DeRozan, Kings — 18 or More Points

DeRozan looks positioned for a productive evening. He’s averaging 18.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game and is expected to shoulder a heavier portion of Sacramento’s scoring burden tonight. The Kings are projected to be without Russell Westbrook, Nique Clifford, and Precious Achiuwa, placing even greater offensive responsibility on DeRozan’s shoulders. Against opponents with winning records, he has eclipsed his points line in 15 of his last 25 matchups, averaging 19.6 points per game in that sample.

Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers — 27 or More Points

Mitchell has been one of the most reliable scorers in the league, averaging 28 points per game with Cleveland. When playing at home against teams that hold both a winning record and a middle-third defense, he has gone over his points line in nine of his last 10 such games — averaging a remarkable 35.9 points per contest in those situations. Tuesday’s matchup fits that profile squarely.
