We are officially less than two weeks away from the end of the NBA regular season, and there are extremely tight races ongoing in both conferences. After a large Sunday slate, only 12 teams are in action tonight across the association.
In this article, I’m going to highlight three of my favorite NBA player props on DraftKings Sportsbook. Without further ado, let’s get into it.

Charlotte Hornets vs. Boston Celtics
Jayson Tatum Over 27.5 Points (-120)
Happy Jayson Tatum vs. the Hornets Day!
A holiday celebrated by all Celtics fans on multiple occasions annually, we’re nearing “list Tatum as an owner of the Hornets on Wikipedia” territory.
The superstar forward has been ridiculously productive over the last few years against Charlotte, racking up at least 33 points in six straight meetings with them, including back-to-back-to-back outings with 41 or more.
While some players around the association could see a matchup with Charlotte as an opportunity to take the night off, Tatum notoriously suits up for as many games as possible. Kristaps Porzingis and Jaylen Brown are questionable for this contest, and I have a hard time seeing both of them suit up. Boston wants to keep Porzingis fresh for a deep postseason run, while Brown is banged up with a couple different minor ailments. Assuming one of them sits Monday, Tatum should be in line for an expanded offensive role.
The superstar has taken at least 21 shots in six straight matchups against Charlotte. I’m expecting that trend to continue tonight, along with another 30-point performance.

DEFENSIVE PROPS OF THE DAY
Scoot Henderson Over 1.5 Steals (+110) & Alex Caruso Over 1.5 Steals (-130)
- Henderson has racked up at least two steals in five of his last six games, seeing a significant uptick in defensive production compared to before the All-Star Break.
- Caruso has recorded at least a pair of steals in seven of his last nine contests. He ranks fourth among all NBA players with 1.6 steals per game.
Those are my favorite NBA player props on Monday’s slate! Stay tuned for more picks later this week.
