Best NBA player prop bets to consider for Monday’s games

We’ve got eight games on Monday’s NBA slate as Thanksgiving week begins. That gives us plenty of opportunities when it comes to player props. Here’s a few of our favorite for the day’s action with odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

Kawhi Leonard over 1.5 steals vs. Spurs (-135)

The Clippers star has racked up five steals in each of the last two games, showing more effort on the defensive end as his team tries to get back into the mix in the West. Leonard has usually played well against his former team, and should be able to snag a few steals Monday night.

Damian Lillard over 3.5 3-pointers vs. Wizards (-120)

Lillard has caught fire from behind the arc over the last few games. After shooting just 26.9% from behind the arc in the first eight games, the point guard is hitting 41.9% of his triples on 10.3 attempts per game. Lillard gets a somewhat favorable matchup with the Wizards, who are about league average when it comes to defending the perimeter.

Klay Thompson over 15.5 points vs. Rockets (-125)

At some point, the All-Star guard has to get back on track. After scoring 16.4 points per game on 46% shooting in the first eight games, Thompson is putting up just 10.2 points per game on 28.6% shooting. The Warriors in a big funk and they’re going to need to get right quickly to re-enter the Western Conference title picture. Thompson will explode at some point, and the second night of a back-to-back against the Rockets feels like a good spot to back him.
