The NBA action rolls on tonight with a 9-game slate that includes 2 matchups on ESPN. Up first we have the freefalling 76ers heading to MSG to take on the Knicks at 7:00 pm ET, before the now Victor Wembanyama-less Spurs make an in-state trip to Houston to meet the Rockets. I’ve assessed the landcape and have picked out my best player props for Wednesday, February 26, targeting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in Thunder vs Nets. You can find out our NBA picks for tonight’s big matchups, but for now, let’s dive into my best bet.

We’re playing with fire here, but I like it. SGA is a special talent and is the odds-on favorite to win MVP. With that being said, he shouldn’t need to score 31+ tonight. OKC are 17-point favorites, which should mean there’s a good chance he’s resting to finish this game. The Nets are a sneaky tough matchup for the Thunder, as they like to trap primary ball handlers in the pick-and-roll more than most. Last time out against Brooklyn, we saw SGA only muster up 27 points. Gilgeous-Alexander is under in 10 of his last 12 with Chet Holmgren active. I think he will need to be ultra-efficient to go over here. This one isn’t for the faint-hearted, but I like the Under with SGA in this spot.
