Before the Thursday trade deadline hits, we have a competitive 7-game NBA slate on Tuesday to sink our teeth into, with all games having a spread of fewer than 10 points. Let’s dive into my best NBA player prop bets for tonight, while you can also check out our expert NBA picks for all the big games today.
Nicolas Claxton (BKN) Over 10.5 points (-105)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook at time of publishing
Nicolas Claxton put together one of his best scoring games of the season in his last game, ironically coming against the Rockets — Claxton and the Nets’ opponent tonight. Thanks to Claxton’s 17-point effort, the Nets won their 2nd game in a row after dropping 12 of their previous 13. With the Rockets on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back tonight after starters played 35+ minutes, look for the Nets to take advantage of the rest factor, as Brooklyn is on 2 days of rest. Major books like FanDuel and DraftKings have Claxton’s over 10.5 points prop priced at -125 and -130, so we’ll take advantage of the generous price available at Fanatics Sportsbook.

Matas Buzelis (CHI) Over 8.5 points (-105)
Odds available at BetMGM at time of publishing
The Chicago Bulls can finally unleash their 1st-round draft pick, Matas Buzelis. The Zach LaVine era in Chicago is over, so minutes are up for grabs. Buzelis has played back-to-back games of 26 minutes — a career-high for the rookie. He’s recorded 3 straight games of 12 points, with an uptick in volume in each. Expect another healthy dose of Buzelis tonight for a Bulls team that continues to play at near the fastest pace in the NBA.
