NBA Player Props for Today

Detroit Pistons at Washington Wizards

Tobias Harris Top Points Scorer (+1200)

With Cade Cunningham sidelined for the Detroit Pistons, it's anyone's guess what their offense will look like moving forward. That creates volatility in the prop market, and it can work in our favor until there's more Cade-less Pistons data for the books to go on.

Cunningham does so much for Detroit offensively that it's tough to project how roles will shake out. The market thinks Jalen Duren will be the new main man as he's listed at +105 odds to lead the game in points -- no one else is shorter than +750.

While Duren will surely be a key piece, I'm interested in fading a big favorite who doesn't shoot threes, and none of the Washington Wizards options catch my eye.

That leads me to Harris.

The veteran wing averages 18.4 points per 36 minutes with Cade off the court this season, per FantasyLabs' on/off tool. He draws a delightful matchup against a Washington team that struggles against small forwards -- although they struggle against basically every position -- as the Wiz permit the second-most points per night to SFs (24.4).

Harris would likely need to get hot from three to cash this market, but the Pistons -- as good as they are -- don't really have many true bucket-getters sans Cade. Harris is one of them, and I'm intrigued by these long odds on him to lead the game in points.

Philadelphia 76ers at Sacramento Kings

Russell Westbrook Over 29.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-118)

Russell Westbrook can still fill up the box score, and I think a home date with the Philadelphia 76ers sets up well for him.

The short-handed Sixers are struggling on the defensive end, ranking 21st in defensive rating across the last 10 games.

Russ can take advantage as he has surpassed 29.5 PRA in four of his previous five games.

Unlike a lot of nights with the Sacramento Kings, blowout risk isn't a huge worry today as the Kings are just 2.5-point 'dogs, which should mean a full allotment of minutes for Westbrook against an undermanned and struggling defense. Sign me up.
