Best NBA player prop bet: Tristan da Silva (ORL) Over 13.5 points + rebounds (-110)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Tristan da Silva has been the spark the Magic have needed since the all-star break. Paolo Banchero is back to playing at an all-NBA level, but Da Silva has stepped up as a piece the Magic will need come playoff time. Anthony Black left after 2 minutes yesterday with a back injury, potentially jeopardizing his availability tonight against the Bucks. Da Silva would likely draw the start if any starter is sitting out the second leg of the back-to-back.

NBA player prop longshot pick: Tristan da Silva (ORL) 20+ points + rebounds (+470)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
We’re looking for a bigger payday from Da Silva than just his 13.5 points + rebounds line. He has eclipsed 20+ points and rebounds in 2 of his last 4 games, and yesterday he recorded 11 points and 7 rebounds. Injury news for the Magic will be the key here, as we could get 30+ minutes from the second-year pro.
Best NBA player prop bet: Dylan Harper (SA) Under 10.5 points (-116)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
The San Antonio Spurs have managed their back-court play with perfection this season. They have slowly ramped up D’Aaron Fox’s usage and minutes, as they look to be a real threat to the Thunder in the postseason. But with more Fox comes Dylan Harper taking a slight backseat — especially in competitive games. On Friday night against the Clippers, Harper played just 20 minutes in a 4-point win. In the game before that, he logged another 20 minutes. Rockets vs Spurs calls for a competitive duel between 2 of the top teams in the Western Conference. Look for Harper to see a condensed role.
