With nine games on the board, it’s a jam-packed Hump Day of basketball action, which means a ton of NBA player props to bet on.
I’ve found my three favorites for today, which include a continuously undervalued Immanuel Quickley as he goes against his former team, and LaMelo Ball will create a buzz with the 3-ball when the Hornets take on the Grizz.

Prop #1: Jalen Smith Double-Double
+185 at bet365
Jalen Smith has been a bit of a revelation for the Chicago Bulls lately. The big man has taken advantage of extended minutes, averaging 11.8 points and 8.9 rebounds over his last 14 games.
That stretch includes five of his seven double-doubles this season, and I’m betting he has another big night against the Indiana Pacers.
It’s been a tough season for the Pacers, particularly on the glass. Indiana has the fourth-lowest rebounding rate and surrenders the third-most rebounds per game.

The Toronto Raptors are stringing together wins again, and Immanuel Quickley is a big reason why.
The Raps’ guard has looked like his best self for a while now, but sportsbooks are still undervaluing his ability to get buckets.
Quickley is averaging 19.4 points while shooting 37.6% from 3-point range over his last 17 games. However, oddsmakers are still setting his point total at 16.5, a number he’s eclipsed 13 times over that stretch.
Defending guards have been a huge problem for the New York Knicks. The Knicks have surrendered the most points per game to opposing guards this season.

LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets are creating a buzz these days, winning four of their last five games.
After a start to the season that was…
