With no NBA games on tomorrow, we get to see a monster slate tonight with 28 teams in action. There are a couple of great nationally televised matchups which you should look out for. Out east the Milwaukee Bucks will be taking on the Brooklyn Nets in what could easily be a Eastern Conference finals preview. Out west, the Memphis Grizzlies will take the Phoenix Suns with both teams battling for the top spot in the conference. For now though, lets take a look at my favorite player props from this incredible slate.
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam is in the scoring form of his life. He is currently averaging 33.5 points per game over the last week and is coming into this contest after a career high 52-point performance against the New York Knicks. While the Cleveland Cavaliers are a great defensive team, sheer volume should help Siakam hit this over. The Raptors offense can look lost without him at times when the ball is not in his hands. He has attempted at least 20 shots and 7 free throw attempts in 3 straight games. Over those games he has been in the top 20 in the league for usage percentage. If he can maintain that level of aggression here, this line should hit.

Over the last 10 games the Los Angeles Clippers have been 22nd in the league in opponent rebounds per game. The man collecting them tonight should be Joel Embiid. The center has recorded 11 or more rebounds in 4 of his last 6 games. He will be going up against Ivica Zubac tonight who is still getting back in the grove of things after a knee injury. Considering that the Croatian does not possess the ability to space the floor, Embiid should remain in great rebounding position throughout the night. The line for this game is set at just 215 points. With the team's 5th and 6th respectively in defensive rating over the last 10 games, there should be plenty of misses for Embiid to chase down.
