Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.

It is a huge night of NBA action tonight with all 30 teams in action. Some of the things to look out for on Monday night will be teams looking to get their seasons back on track. The Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks have been 2 of the more disappointing teams so far and both will be up against it as they take on the Phoenix Suns and the Cleveland Cavaliers respectively. You can find out our NBA picks for all of tonight’s big matchups, but for now, let’s get into our best NBA player prop bets for Monday, November 4.

RJ Barrett (TOR) over 35.5 points+rebounds+assists (-120)

Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.

RJ Barrett has put together a phenomenal run of games. He has managed to record 30 or more points in each of his last 3 starts. While he only managed 20 in his last game against the Nuggets, it was his first game back from injury and he was dealing with foul trouble. Expect a bigger performance from him here. During that 3-game stretch, he has also managed combined totals of 12, 17 and 15 rebounds and assists. With Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley remaining out for the Raptors, look for him to continue to play a well-rounded role, contributing across the board. Barrett should spend time matched up against Michael Porter Jr. too, which the Raptors look bound to exploit. Back Barrett to stuff the stat sheet once more.

Tim Hardaway Jr. (DET) over 2.5 made threes (+120)

Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.

The Detroit Pistons were looking to add shooting in the offseason and they did exactly that by adding Tim Hardaway Jr. The wing is currently averaging 3 made three-pointers per game. He has been incredibly efficient too, making 48.8% of attempts beyond the arc. It has allowed him to hit the over on this line in 5 of 7 games so far. The Los Angeles Lakers should be a favorable opponent for him too. They currently rank 18th in opponent three-point attempts per game and 19th in three-point makes. Considering the defensive presence that Anthony Davis can be in the paint, do not be surprised to see the Pistons look to attack from the perimeter, and Hardaway Jr. should be a major part of that.

Trae Young (ATL) over 3.5 rebounds (-115)

Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.

While certainly not the tallest player on the floor, Trae Young has done a great job at contributing in the rebounding department this season. He is currently averaging 5 rebounds per game and has hit the over on this line in 6 of 7 games this season. He will be up against a Boston Celtics squad that attempts far more three-pointers per game than any other team in the NBA. It should lead to more long rebounding opportunities for Young to chase down. The Hawks guard has twice this season managed a season-high 8 rebounds. It was against the Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards, teams ranked 2nd and 11th in the league in three-point attempts. We should see a similar output from him against a team ranked number 1.

Alperen Sengun (HOU) over 0.5 made threes (+165)

Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.

Alperen Sengun has been expanding his game and has become more consistent from beyond the arc. On the season he is making 40% of his attempts from there, hitting at least 1 three-pointer in 3 of his 6 games so far. He will be up against a Knicks team that has allowed teams to get their shots off from there, ranking 26th in opponent three-point attempts. Karl-Anthony Towns can also be a physical matchup so do not be surprised to see the Rockets center step out to the perimeter on several occasions to mix things up. Considering the efficiency he has been shooting with, this seems a great value look.
