The NBA has now entered the final week of the regular season, and there is still so much to be decided. Apart from a couple of teams in each conference, everyone that is still in the playoff picture has the opportunity to either rise or fall in the standings. The situation in the West is particularly nail biting, with the teams from 5th to 12th separated by just 4.5 games. Tonight’s monster 13-game slate could make the fate of several teams much clearer.
Check out the player props I have picked out for today’s games below, and do not forget to read our NBA predictions for all of Tuesday’s games too.
Rudy Gobert over 27.5 points + rebounds (-102)
Rudy Gobert was dominant for the Minnesota Timberwolves the last time he faced the Brooklyn Nets. He managed 26 points and 13 rebounds. Matching up against Nic Claxton once more tonight, it is hard to expect a different outcome. The Frenchman will have a significant size advantage over his counterpart and is a more physical presence than him. That should make him a threat to grab and convert offensive rebounds into second chance points. The Nets are 24th in opponent rebounds per game over the last 10. His inability to space the floor will help Gobert have great rebounding position throughout the night. With the Nets center also 2nd in the league in blocks per game, look for Gobert to be a major lob threat as his guards are met by Claxton on their drives to the rim. Back the Timberwolves center to have a huge night.

Svi Mykhailiuk over 2.5 made threes (-113)
Charlotte Hornets guard Svi Mykhailiuk caught fire in his last outing against his former employers the Toronto Raptors. He could be set to continue his hot scoring against the same opponent tonight. He knocked down 5 of his 9 attempts from deep against them. Considering that he is a 47.8% shooter from beyond the arc this season, similar volume of shots would position him well to make at least 3 once more. He has now played at least 30 minutes in 6 straight games. If he pushes a similar amount of playing time tonight, look for him to have enough time on the floor to get his triples going here.

Coby White over 1.5 made threes (-120)
Coby White has been doing a terrific job as the 6th man for the Chicago Bulls. Over the last 10 games he is scoring 14.2 points per game on 45.5% shooting from beyond the arc. That is exactly where I expect him to do damage against the Atlanta Hawks tonight. He has made multiple 3-pointers in 6 of his last 7 games. The Hawks have not been the best team at defending the perimeter either. Over the last 10 games they are allowing their opponents to make 37.2% of their attempts. That puts them 20th in the NBA in opponent 3-point percentage. Look for White to be a major part of the Bulls perimeter attack tonight.
Tobias Harris over 12.5 points (-106)
While the Celtics are undoubtedly a good defensive team, this seems like a good value bet on Tobias Harris. Over his last 9 games he is averaging 16.3 points per night, up from his season average of 14.8. He has also managed to average 13.7 points in 3 contests against the Celtics this season. Joel Embiid will be drawing all the defensive attention from the Celtics here. His level of physicality should be a handful for the likes of Al Horford to deal with. Look for them to send help his way as a result, helping create space and scoring opportunities for the likes of Tobias Harris. He has hit 13 or more points in 8 of his last 9 games and it is hard to see a drop off from him tonight.
