We've got an intriguing doubleheader in the NBA tonight!
The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the new-look Milwaukee Bucks in the first game, while the Suns-Lakers matchup will be featured on TNT as the second game.
The 76ers and Bucks are playing their first games of the year. However, the Suns and Lakers are onto their second game of the season.
Here are a few player props to consider for tonight's NBA slate.
October 26 Best NBA Player Props
Khris Middleton Over 12.5 Points (-115) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Khris Middleton added 15.1 points per game last season on 43.6% from the field.
In last year's playoff run against the Heat in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, Middleton averaged 23.8 points per game, taking 17.2 shots per game. He hit 46.5% from the field and nailed over 40% from three.
I know Damian Lillard will steal some opportunity. But not that much. Middleton is still a super-efficient scorer who can get hot anytime.
He hit at least 13 points in nine of his last ten games from last year. He also nailed this number in 71% of all games. I'll take my chances with Middleton.
LeBron James Over 7.5 Rebounds (+106) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
LeBron James will likely get about 30 minutes a game this season. That's not as much as some were hoping. However, in 29 minutes of the last game, he still earned eight boards.
James hit at least eight rebounds in 75% of his last 20 games last season. He also hit this number in 65% of games last season.
James is aging. His shot might not fall as much. But the effort will still be there. Earning rebounds isn't the same as draining threes. Rebounds are an effort thing. He'll get those.
Damian Lillard Over 7.5 Assists (+112) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
I believe that Damian Lillard probably won't be a ball hog in tonight's game for the Bucks. He'll want to settle in and get his teammates involved to build chemistry.
Lillard is a bonafide scorer. He's one of the few that can score anywhere on the court. Yes, even from halfcourt. But I don't think he'll take those crazy shots throughout the game. He's more likely to earn the trust of his teammates and assist them with easy buckets.
Lillard hit at least eight assists in 53% of games last year. So, at +112, I think there's value on the Over 7.5, mainly because he'll be more inclined to pass the rock in his first couple of starts with the Bucks.
