The NBA brings us 9 more games tonight with more crucial matchups, including a contest between leading MVP candidates Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid. The Philadelphia 76ers are involved in a tight race and still hold on hope of clinching the top seed in the Eastern Conference. A defeat for them tonight would make that dream a lot more unlikely.
You can find our full game previews here. But for now, check out my player prop selections below.
Klay Thompson over 19.5 points (-110)
Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors exploded against the Milwaukee Bucks in his last game, dropping 38 points. He will get the chance to keep that going tonight against a Washington Wizards team that has just given up 127 points to the Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers ranked last in the NBA in offensive rating over the last 10 games. During that stretch the Wizards are 28th in defensive rating, allowing 118.2 points per game. They had no answer to Josh Hart in their last outing and with the offensive arsenal of Klay Thompson, he should see success tonight too. Thompson is averaging 20.9 points per game at home this season and should exceed this against a defensively fragile opponent.

Terry Rozier over 3.5 made threes (+100)
Terry Rozier of the Charlotte Hornets has been on fire to start March. Through 5 games he has knocked down 25 3-pointers, hitting this line 4 times in the process. Tonight, he will be up against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have been terrible at defending the perimeter. They are allowing 15.7 made 3-pointers over the last 10 game, the worst mark in the league. With Rozier making 50% of his attempts this month, he should be set to take full advantage, bombarding the Thunder from the perimeter.

Domantas Sabonis over 29.5 points + rebounds (-106)
The Chicago Bulls have recently given up a couple of huge nights to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid. The pair managed 50 and 57 combined points and rebounds against them respectively. While Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings is a level below these players, he too should enjoy a fair amount of success. He has taken on the Bulls on 4 occasions already this season, averaging a combined 33 points and rebounds per game. Nikola Vucevic is the man likely to be guarding him. The Bulls center does not have great length on the inside and should struggle to contest the Lithuanian’s shots. As a result, look for him to put together another strong line.
