It’s an absolutely jam-packed day of hoops action with 11 games on the schedule, which means a seemingly endless supply of NBA player props.
I’ve sorted through the odds and found my three favorites for the day, including Orlando Magic guard Desmond Bane casting a spell on the Los Angeles Lakers defense.
That and more NBA picks for Tuesday, February 24.
Best NBA player props today
| Player | Pick | |
|---|---|---|
 Kon Knueppel | Over 17.5 Points | -120 |
 Myles Turner | Over 5.5 Rebounds | +100 |
 Desmond Bane | Over 20.5 Points | -112 |
Prop #1: Kon Knueppel Over 17.5 Points
-120 at bet365
Rookie Kon Knueppel sure is creating a buzz around the Charlotte Hornets.
The former Duke standout is averaging 19.2 points per game while shooting an impressive 43.5% from three. He’s also on fire, going for 23 PPG while shooting 50% from downtown over his last seven.
Tonight, he gets a great matchup against a rebuilding Chicago Bulls team that is winless in February and ranks next to last in defensive rating.
Yet, we’re still getting a modest 17.5 point total for Knueppel, a number he’s topped in six of his last seven.

Prop #2: Myles Turner Over 5.5 Rebounds
+100 at bet365
As long as the Miami Heat are playing basketball games, I will be fading them on the boards.
The Heat aren’t the worst rebounding team, but Miami leads the NBA in pace and, as a result, takes the most shots per game.
Lots of shots mean lots of rebounds, and it’s the Milwaukee Bucks' turn to crash the boards. My favorite candidate to cash their rebounding Over is Myles Turner.
The Bucks' big man averages 5.7 rebounds per game, and he’s hauled down six or more in four of his last five.

Prop #3: Desmond Bane Over 20.5 Points
-112 at bet365
The Orlando Magic are playing better basketball, thanks in part to Desmond Bane shooting the lights out.
The Magic guard has scored 31 or more points in three of his last four games, and is averaging 25 while shooting a crazy good 54% from three over his last 10.
I’m betting he stays hot against the Los Angeles Lakers.
It’s hard to have faith in the Lakers, given their 24th-ranked defensive rating and ranking 27th in opponent effective field goal percentage.
Keeping Bane Under 20.5 points will be tough, as he’s topped it in nine of his last 11.
