The NBA regular season went on a week-long break for All-Star Weekend. Honestly, it was a week-long hiatus that felt longer.
But we're back with a 12-game slate in the NBA tonight!
I've added five player props for the slate. Let's begin the second half with a bang!
February 22 Best NBA Player Props
Bruce Brown Over 10.5 Points (-104) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Bruce Brown stayed with the Toronto Raptors through the NBA Trade Deadline. This means he's effectively in Toronto's plans, at least for this season.
Brown scored 12 points in each of his last two games despite only taking 17 shots in those two matchups.
He shot 62.5% against the Spurs and drained 55.6% of his shots against the Pacers. He's efficient enough that he doesn't need to take a ton of shots to find success.
Brown is facing a Nets squad that ranks 27th in points allowed to shooting guards. Brown has only attempted 1.6 threes per game this month and has shot just 23.1% from downtown. But he's a capable shooter who will get a few open looks against the Nets from three.
That should be enough to get at least 11 points.
Jamal Murray Over 6.5 Assists (-154) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Washington Wizards are currently allowing the most assists to point guards this season.
That bodes well for Jamal Murray tonight.
Murray has added at least seven assists in 60% of his last 20 games. He's also had previous success with this line over the last couple of seasons against Washington.
To conclude the first half, Murray played no more than 26 minutes in each of the last two games. However, when the Nuggets won and put up massive scores, Murray was an automatic 10-assist player. He earned double-doubles in three consecutive games to begin February.
He's got a real chance to add another one tonight against Washington. However, we only need seven assists.
Grayson Allen Over 2.5 Assists (-158) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
In February, Grayson Allen has averaged 5.3 assists per game. He helped the Suns knock off the Pistons to conclude the first half. In 27 minutes, Allen had six assists.
He even had a game earlier this month with 14 assists in 35 minutes against the Jazz.
It's unlikely Allen will get close to 14 assists again. But we're only asking for three.
Allen is facing a Dallas defense that ranks 26th in assists allowed to small forwards. Let's take a chance with Allen to earn at least three assists tonight.
Paul George Over 4.5 Rebounds (-154) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
George is averaging 5.3 rebounds per game this season. However, his line is still set at 4.5 with a little bit of juice.
George added at least five rebounds in three consecutive games before the All-Star Break. He's also hit this line in 60% of games this season.
Over the last 20 games, George has nailed this prop in 65% of games, and he's playing more than 30 minutes a night.
Essentially, we'll need a rebound every six minutes he's on the floor. That sounds reasonable against a Thunder squad that has ranked 25th in rebounds allowed to small forwards.
Drew Eubanks Over 3.5 Rebounds (-138) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
For the Phoenix Suns, Drew Eubanks won't be on the floor for many minutes tonight. He's averaged just 15.3 minutes a night in February.
However, Eubanks has still averaged 4.1 rebounds per game in those 15+ minutes.
Dallas ranks 24th in rebounds given up to centers this season. Meanwhile, Eubanks has nailed this line in 70% of his last 20 games and has hit this line in eight of his previous ten.
He'll increase these numbers after a solid performance on the glass tonight.
