A six-game slate highlights Tuesday’s star-studded NBA slate. Title contenders such as the 76ers, Celtics, Knicks and Thunder will all be taking the floor this evening. However, there are several lesser-known names that bettors should keep an eye on as well.
There are plenty of ways to get involved in the action on DraftKings Sportsbook. Here is a look at my three favorite player prop bets for Tuesday night’s NBA matchups.
Best NBA Prop Bets Tonight
Mitchell Robinson 6+ rebounds (-131)
Through nine games, Mitchell Robinson’s Celtics tenure has been hit and miss. The former Knicks center was a vital piece during last season’s championship run. However, he’s still finding his footing in Beantown. Robinson is currently averaging 6.4 points and 5.7 rebounds in just under 19 minutes per game. That last mark makes sense; the oft-injured big man’s playing time needs to be monitored heavily during the regular season. Mitch is easier to sit when fellow center Neemias Queta is playing well, too.
Robinson enters tonight’s game with some momentum. He just delivered his best performance of the season, notching 12 points, seven rebounds and four steals against Milwaukee on Monday. There’s a decent chance he comes through once more on Tuesday, especially on the glass. This 76ers club has one notable weakness: rebounding. They’re allowing 47.7 boards per game to opponents, fourth-worst in basketball.
Robinson has plenty of experience in this spot. Including the postseason, he’s snagged 6+ rebounds in eight of his last ten meetings with Philadelphia. Consider bringing this total up to 7+ boards at a price of +126.
Darryn Peterson 3+ three-pointers made (+114)
Taken with the second overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, Darryn Peterson is already living up to his lofty potential. Utah’s prized rookie has been solid so far, averaging 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. During his most recent outing, the Kansas alum notched 26 points on 11-of-21 shooting from the field (52.3%). This season, he’s also managed to connect on 36.5% of his three-point attempts. It’s likely just a matter of time until the 19-year-old commands a larger share of this Jazz offense.
Another productive showing from long distance is likelier than not tonight. The Heat operate at the association’s second-quickest pace on offense. As a result, their opponents have more possessions than usual to work with. That’s a boon when it comes to counting stats. In addition, Miami has done a poor job defending the perimeter. Teams are knocking down an NBA-high 16.4 three-pointers per game against Erik Spoelstra’s crew.
After an inefficient start to his professional career, Peterson is finally starting to catch fire from deep. He’s nailed three or more three-pointers in five of his previous seven appearances. At home, against a shaky Heat defense, the youngster is more than capable of hitting this total at plus money.
Andre Drummond 7+ rebounds (-107)
The Knicks haven’t had the easiest time scoring buckets this season. With that being said, this remains one of the NBA’s premier clubs. That’s due in part to a big, physical front court that crashes the glass. Offseason pickup Andre Drummond has already made his presence felt inside the paint. Over nine outings, the veteran has accounted for 5.0 points and 7.8 rebounds. Even more impressive, he’s putting those numbers up in just over 13 minutes per game.
Even in a somewhat limited role, Drummond has shown he can snag some boards in a hurry. Tonight’s contest presents another golden opportunity on the glass. Milwaukee is allowing 47.9 rebounds per game to opponents, second-worst in basketball this season. The Bucks operate at the association’s 12th-quickest pace, potentially speeding up a typically slowed-down Knicks offense.
Drummond has reached this total in six of his nine games this season. There’s a chance New York jumps out to a big lead, potentially sending starting center Karl-Anthony Towns to the bench. In that scenario, Drummond may see slightly more minutes than usual. Even if that doesn’t occur, the big man will have opportunities against Milwaukee’s mediocre group of centers.
