Eager for some NBA action? Fear not! Tuesday is offering up a loaded ten-game, 20-team slate of hoops. That includes some can’t miss matchups between contenders. Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets hit the road to face the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons. Elsewhere, the gritty Magic will attempt a massive upset against the defending champion Thunder. To end the night, Tyrese Maxey and the 76ers visit Steph Curry’s Warriors.
Which names should bettors be targeting tonight? Here are my three favorite NBA prop bet picks on DraftKings Sportsbook for Tuesday’s contests.
Top NBA prop bet picks
Pascal Siakam 25+ points (-110)
In an otherwise forgettable 2025-26 campaign, Pascal Siakam has impressed. With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined, Indiana has leaned heavily on their do-it-all power forward. Through 48 games this season, the big man is averaging 23.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists. In addition, he’s delivered solid 49/38/69 shooting splits. On this mediocre Pacers roster, Siakam faces little to no competition for touches. That gives him a fairly safe floor on any given night.
That’s especially true when going up against an atrocious defensive unit. The Jazz, even at full strength, couldn’t stop a nosebleed. Utah has coughed up 127.0 points per game to opponents, easily the worst mark in basketball. The next-closest club, Washington, is at 122.5 PPG. Siakam has tallied at least 25 points in six of his previous nine outings. When these teams last met back on November 11th, the Cameroonian notched 27 points. A similar offensive output is the expectation on Tuesday.
Davion Mitchell over 8.5 rebounds + assists (-130)
Miami, for all its flaws, has become one of the association’s most exciting clubs to watch. Erik Spoelstra’s new-look, up-tempo offense has led to some impressive counting stats across the roster. That includes Davion Mitchell, currently thriving during his first full season in South Beach. Over 41 games, the guard has posted 9.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and a team-leading 7.2 assists. When healthy, the fifth-year pro offers a much-needed mix of playmaking and stellar perimeter defense.
On Tuesday, Mitchell has a chance to earn another impressive all-around performance. Miami’s opponents, the Hawks, are depleted down low, missing Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) and Onyeka Okongwu (face). It’s not as if this was a good defense with those two available, either. Atlanta is giving up the ninth-most rebounds (54.9) and ninth-most assists (27.4) per game to opponents. In comparison, Mitchell has reached this R+A total in four of his last five appearances. He’s poised to do so again tonight against a Southeast Division rival.
Ryan Rollins 21+ points (-118)
If you’ve been living under a rock, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee tenure might be over. Right now, the two-time MVP is out of commission with a calf injury. In his absence, an already mediocre Bucks roster looks much worse. If anyone can step up as a leading scorer, its Ryan Rollins. The guard has been a glimmer of hope for this franchise. Over 47 outings, he’s accounted for 16.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists while shooting 47% from the field. Beyond the arc, he’s knocking down 40% of his three-point attempts.
Even as a primary option, Rollins has shown he can put up numbers. The 23-year-old is averaging 19.6 points over 17 games played this season without Antetokounmpo. It helps that Tuesday’s matchup comes against a subpar Bulls defense. Chicago is giving up the fifth-most points per game (119.9) to opponents this season. Rollins has tallied 20 points in each of the previous two meetings between these clubs. Both of those games came with Giannis on the floor. That bodes well for Rollins’ chances at a slightly improved showing this evening.
