There is plenty of NBA action tonight, with 22 teams taking to the floor. There are also 2 games on NBA TV tonight. The first will see a cross-conference matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Milwaukee Bucks. That will be followed by a crucial clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns. If the Lakers win and results elsewhere go their way, they could find themselves in an automatic playoff position.
Take a look at our'NBA predictions for all of tonight's 11 games. But till then, check out my favourite player props below.
Jalen Green is giving the Houston Rockets fans hope that the team could be competitive next season. Over his last 10 games he has upped his points per game average to 25.6 per night. Tonight, he will get the chance to face off against the Charlote Hornets, who he torched for 41 points earlier in the season. The hosts have shut down a number of their key wing defenders for the season already and it should allow Green to go off once more. Green is a phenomenal athlete and should have the ability to get to the paint off the dribble and from cuts. With the Hornets just 26th in opponent points in the paint over the last 10 games, he is unlikely to find much resistance at the rim. Look for him to convert that to a high scoring performance tonight.
OG Anunoby had an off-shooting night the last time he faced off against the Boston Celtics, making 2 of 8 attempts. Do not expect him to similarly let them off tonight if he sees the same number of attempts. Over the last 7 games he has been able to knock down at least 3 shots from beyond the arc on 5 occasions. Anunoby is also making 38.8% of his 3-point attempts this season. The Raptors have started to rely on him more for their perimeter attack. Last month he upped his 3-point per game attempts to 6.6 per game. Through 2 games this month, there does not seem to be any signs of him slowing down. With the Celtics potentially starting to look ahead to the playoffs and taking their foot off the gas defensively, the Raptors forward could thrive.
