Monday in the NBA offers us an 8-game slate with a high possibility for blowouts, with 3 games that have double-digit spreads. Luka Doncic is suspended one game for reaching 15 technical fouls and will miss the Rick Carlisle revenge game in Indiana. The highlight of the night is easily the MVP showdown of Nikola Jokic vs Joel Embiid in Denver. While Embiid is listed as questionable, I can't see him missing an opportunity to let the voters know this ye ar's award belongs to him. I'm most excited for Minnesota vs Sacramento in what could be an early playoff matchup depending on seeding. Let's dive into tonight’s best NBA player props.
Killian Hayes (DET) under 12.5 points (-111)
Hayes is playing Milwaukee tonight, where he is 0-2 against this line this season, although was not a starter in either. As a starter, he's averaging 11.4 ppg and 10.8 ppg since the all-star break. This line is high likely due to 3 games in the last 2 weeks that exceeded 17+ performances, only 1 of which included Jaden Ivey in the lineup. He's only hit this line in 37% of games as a starter and with a 16.5-point spread, this game could see Hayes dip below 30 minutes in a blowout. 1U
