NBA Player Prop Picks for Monday: Marcus Smart, Paolo Banchero, and More
We've got a solid slate of eight games in the NBA tonight, including some matchups I'll be looking to attack. I've looked through all the NBA props and found three of my favorites.
Let us know if you're tailing! Here are three prop bets to consider for tonight's NBA slate.
Best NBA Player Props for Monday, October 24
Marcus Smart Under 12.5 Points (+100)Â (Bet $100 to collect $200)
Marcus Smart's not shooting the ball too well to begin the season. He's averaged just 9.3 points per game through three games and has shot 11.8% from downtown on 17 attempts. Even from the field, Smart is shooting 32.1%, despite earning over 35 minutes a night. In the first game of the season, Smart scored 14 points because he got to the line eight times. In the other two games, he got to the line once. I'm taking his Under prop.
Paolo Banchero Over 17.5 Points (-130)Â (Bet $130 to collect $230)
Banchero is averaging 23.3 points per game while earning 34 minutes per night. He's averaging 18.3 shots per game and is shooting 41.8% from the field. In the last two games, he's had confidence, shooting the three. He's shot 13 three-pointers in the previous two games after taking no threes in the first game of his NBA career. Banchero has scored at least 20 points in every game this season. I know the Knicks have been good defensively, but Banchero should be able to pace the Magic in tonight's game. It's not like Orlando has been blown out in any game this season.

Kyle Lowry Over 1.5 Threes (-143)Â (Bet $143 to collect $243)Â
Kyle Lowry will be facing his old team for the second straight time. Although he went 0-for-5 in the first game of the season from downtown, Lowry has turned it around. He's knocked down six three-pointers in his last 14 attempts, hitting an average of 42.9% in those previous two games. Lowry wasn't as aggressive in the first game, only taking seven shots. Since that loss to Chicago, he's taken at least 11 shots per game. At least half of those shots in each game have been from downtown. Let's take Lowry to hit two threes in tonight's game against the Raptors.
