Best NBA player prop picks on Tuesday: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder, Over 36.5 points + rebounds (-109) Derrick White, Celtics, Over 8.5 rebounds + assists (-125) Josh Hart, Knicks, Over 6.5 rebounds (-114) Click here to play these NBA props with the latest FanDuel promo code, which gives new users $150 in bonus bets if your first $5 wager wins: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder, Over 36.5 points + rebounds (-109) "SGA is doing everything to deserve another MVP," SportsLine senior data analyst Stephen Oh said. "The Thunder's win percentage and point differential are even better this season than last season, despite Jalen Williams not playing all season and Lu Dort being out for quite a bit. And even though we like OKC to win by 14 points, the Warriors should have Steph Curry back and many Thunder games that end in big final margins can take three quarters to get the large margin. If this game is closer than expected, then SGA will get the minutes to cruise over this line. If the Thunder build a big first-half lead, it'll likely be because SGA comes out with a dominant first-half scoring. Since last season, the Over is much higher (32-26, 55.2%) at home than on the road (21-32, 39.6%). He has averaged 42.7 (2-1 Over) in his last three games vs. the Warriors."

"But our projection is based more on his recent production (5-3 Over) with four double-digit rebounds + assists games. The Over 6.5 is 38-24 since last season, when he plays 31 to 39 minutes, and that's where he should be tonight. He comes in averaging seven assists per game in his last four, so he could be in a situation where even two boards gets the Over." Bet on White with the latest BetMGM promo code, which gives new users up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if your first bet loses: Josh Hart, Knicks, Over 6.5 rebounds (-114) "Mitchell Robinson is very likely to sit this game, so he can play tomorrow in a more critical matchup vs Orlando," Oh said. "Josh Hart is playing fewer minutes starting the season injured, but he's ramping up his minutes to the upper 20s, and if Mitchell is out, Hart should scrape 30 as the team's second-leading rebounder to KAT. I expect this line to go to -135 or more if/when Robinson is ruled out or even up to 7.5 (-115)."
