Basketball action all day long is no better watch. Let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for games on Saturday, December 23. Also make sure you also read our NBA predictions for today’s games.
Saddiq Bey, PF, ATL, Over 13.5 points (-111)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
This player prop bet was one of my top plays I posted last night on X. Saddiq Bey scored 16 points on 6 of 14 from the field and hit 2 three-pointers. That’s been the norm for Bey as of late. He’s played at least 30 minutes in the last 12 games and has been a great stretch 4 for the Hawks, who have needed him with the absence of emerging star Jalen Johnson. Johnson will be out again, but we’re still waiting on the status of De’Andre Hunter, which would be a big plus for Bey if Hunter can’t go.
Bey will be matched up against the Memphis Grizzlies, who come in as 1-point underdogs – that’s important. All though Bey played 39 minutes last night, he’ll be needed as this game projects to be close. In games that Bey has played at least 32 minutes in, he’s over this line in 7 of 11 games.

Brandon Ingram, SF, NOP, Under 35.5 points/rebounds/assists (-106)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Waiting on NBA injury news can be dreadful. Teams take forever to announce who’s in or out, and guys miss games for practically nothing nowadays. That’s the case for tonight. Zion Williamson is questionable with an illness, but we’re banking on him playing tonight after having two days off and not playing the last game. Let’s focus on Brandon Ingram, who is the final player prop bet for the Saturday slate.
Ingram is undoubtedly a star in this league, but this matchup against the Houston Rockets screams under to me. The Rockets have one of the top defenses in all of basketball and have done a decent job at limiting stars. I’m expecting much of the same tonight against Ingram, who has stayed under this line in 16 of 26 games this season. The hit rate skyrockets without Williamson, but Ingram will be the center of attention for the Rockets, while they’ll settle with C.J. McCollum, Herb Jones, and Trey Murphy III beating them from the outside.
From a market perspective, FanDuel headlines the book with the best price at -106. That’s 14 cents cheaper than BetMGM and DraftKings.
