Happy Wednesday, everyone! Last night was a tough night on the hardwood for us on player props. We got the hook on Brook Lopez’s points, and Jonathan Kuminga’s rebounds and Luka Doncic’s RA line ended up being tough for us to cash in on.
However, we did have a good read on Chet Holmgren, which gives us more confidence going into Wednesday night's 12-game NBA slate.
We have cooked up our four favorite player props from the action, and are providing the sportsbook with the best number available for each bet.

Wendell Carter Jr. is in a bit of a scoring drought. He hasn’t scored 10+ points since March 15th, which gives us some trepidation about his point total tonight.
With the Orlando Magic taking on a tough Golden State Warriors team, we do not believe that he’s due for a bounceback in this game. We’re taking the under on his point total until he proves that he can get back into double digits.
Best available odds: -115 at DraftKings
Isaiah Hartenstein has certainly been an impactful player for the New York Knicks this season, but his impact typically comes through rebounds and his defensive performances.
While he has scored 10 or more points in three of his past four games, this is atypical for him. Before this stretch of scoring, Hartenstein had gone over a month without scoring 10 points in a single game.
We project him to not break into double digits tonight against the Toronto Raptors, which is why we’re taking the under on his point total.

We were surprised to see how low Jaren Jackson Jr.’s points line was tonight. He has scored at least 25 points in three of his past four games, and his recent history against the Los Angeles Lakers is spectacular.
He dropped 31 against them in January, and we’re confident he can do it again tonight, so we’re taking the over in this spot.
Best available odds: -120 at DraftKings
Grayson Allen has been one of the most polarizing basketball players over the past several years. Fans were upset at his on-court demeanor during his time in college, which soured their opinions, for the most part.
However, Allen has come into his own as a member of the Phoenix Suns, and he can still put together great scoring efforts despite having All-Star teammates.
The Suns take on the Denver Nuggets tonight, a matchup that is favorable for Allen. Look for him to try and repeat his performance from January of this season, where he dropped 28 against the Nuggets.
