  • A small but mighty 4-game NBA slate is staring back at bettors on Tuesday, November 22, 2021
  • A great way to get in on the action are NBA player props which are everywhere on a huge slate like tonight’s
  • See below to find out some of the best player props to bet on tonight

Tuesday night’s slate may be small, but it packs a punch which makes it hard for bettors to ignore. Three of the four games feature spreads of 5.5 points or less which means there’s opportunity in the player prop market.

That’s not the only good news as two of the four games are on national television. That’s almost half! TNT will be the spot as they’ll show the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks at 7:30pm. The second they’re done, we’ll all head to Portland to watch the Trail Blazers host the Denver Nuggets. This has all the makings of a magical night.

There are more unforeseen roster changes in the NBA than any other sport. Because of that, many books are reluctant to post player prop lines too early in the day. For that reason, not all of the teams in action tonight are included in the table below. Scroll down to see the lines that are available and a couple of best bets.

Odds as of Nov 23rd at DraftKings & FanDuel

PJ Tucker Plays Offense Too

A lot of people are going to skip right over the Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons tonight. It’s the only game on the board with a double digit spread so it’s understandable. Just know that if you’re one of those people, you could miss out on something we’ve never really seen before.

I’m talking about the offensive awakening PJ Tucker is going through at the moment.

The graphic above is showing his shooting prowess but what it doesn’t show is his passing numbers. That’s a good thing because we don’t want anyone to know that Tucker has recorded at least two assists in four of his last five games. He even managed to do it in just 20 minutes in the Heat’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans last Wednesday.

At the +130 price tag, this is one of the sneakiest plays on the board tonight and could easily cash in the first quarter.

  • The Pick: PJ Tucker over 1.5 assists (+130)

Nurkic For Three?

The question you need to ask yourself right now is “do I want to be a regular bettor, or do I want to be a legend?” I’ll understand if you want to be a regular bettor, legendary status isn’t for everyone. But if you want to go where not many bettors have gone before, then keep reading.

Fair warning, it involves Jusuf Nurkic hitting a three-pointer tonight.

Once upon a time the Denver Nuggets had Jusuf Nurkic and Nikola Jokic on the same team. Long story short, Denver chose Jokic and dumped Nurkic. Don’t think for one second that Nurkic has forgotten about that. I think he hates them and possibly even Jokic.

The weird thing is, Nurkic isn’t really a three-guy but he takes a shot or two from downtown every time he plays the Nuggets (in the regular season). He doesn’t always make one, but he still takes them. He took two in 21 minutes against the Nuggets just nine days ago.

I don’t know if he’s scared of Jokic inside or just wants to prove he can do what Jokic does. All I do know is that if the books are giving us +280 odds that this guy cans a three and he might take two of them, I’m in. Let’s go be legends tonight.

  • The Pick: Jusuf Nurkic Over .5 made three-pointers (+280)
