NBA Prop Bets Today: De'Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper amongst best NBA Player Props for Tuesday

Show Bio

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.

De’Aaron Fox (SA) over 8.5 assists & rebounds (5/7)

The young Spurs guards had real issues with turnovers over the first couple of games, but luckily for them, De’Aaron Fox has come back and taken complete reigns of this team. His influence can especially be felt in the rebound and assist departments. Over his first 2 games back he is averaging 8.5 boards and 5.5 assists, which I expect to continue here. The Thunder are 5th this postseason in 3-point attempts per game while the Spurs are 3rd in opponent 3-point percentage. That should continue to ensure that there are no shortage of long rebounds for the guard to chase down. And considering he did not have a single turnover in Game 4, expect him to be trusted as the teams primary ball handler and playmaker. I would confidently back him to record over 10 assists and rebounds in Game 5.

Dylan Harper (SA) under 0.5 steals (10/11)

Currently in this series Harper is averaging 1.8 steals per game, but that is simply down to an incredible 7 steal performance in Game 1. He has not recorded a steal in any of the 3 games since. That is 63 minutes of time on the court without one. With the return of De’Aaron Fox his minutes have taken a hit too. He managed just 17 in Game 3 and 21 in Game 4. That could really limit hit opportunities to influence the game defensively tonight. The Thunder are also 4th among all postseason teams in opponent steals per game. With Harper coming off the bench too, he will share less time on the floor with Victor Wembanyama. The Frenchman is a major distributor defensively and can force teams into tough passes his teammates can pick off. I expect that the Spurs rookie will not be on the floor long enough to reap the benefits of this.
