NBA Player Props February 27

Given the NBA's rather limited schedule for Monday night, we're keeping an eye on interesting props featuring some of the league's best young talents!

When the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers face-off, Bam Adebayo's rebounding will be the focus when he checks Joel Embiid. LaMelo Ball's ability to rebound the ball and push the pace will be key when his Charlotte Hornets host the Detroit Pistons. And when the Orlando Magic face the New Orleans Pelicans, Brandon Ingram's playmaking may be the key to getting his team back on track.

Let's check out the bets!

Bam Adebayo has maintained his All-Star level of play this season, and he'll need to be even more productive to secure a playoff position for the Heat. At Caesars Sportsbook, Adebayo is a +104 to clear 8.5 rebounds when he faces the Philadelphia 76ers.

On the season, Adebayo is averaging 21.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.2 steals on 54.0% shooting from the field. Adebayo has struggled through his last five games, averaging just 17.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.4 steals on 47.3% shooting from the field. His struggles have been reflective of Miami's form, as they've dropped four of their last five matches.

Adebayo has a tall task on his hands when he faces the Philadelphia 76ers and MVP-worthy center Joel Embiid. This will be the first time that they play each other this season, but in Adebayo's last two games against the Sixers, he's averaged 14.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists on 50.0% shooting from the field. We expect Adebayo to clear 8.5 rebounds for the 35th time this season, despite Philadelphia's interior threats.

Detroit Pistons @ Charlotte Hornets: Best Prop Bets

LaMelo Ball Rebounds O 7.5 (+120) @ DraftKings Sportsbook

Despite his team's struggles, LaMelo Ball continues to show that his star potential is legitimate. At DraftKings Sportsbook, LaMelo Ball is a +120 to collect more than 7.5 rebounds when he faces the Detroit Pistons.

On the season, Ball is averaging 23.4 points, 8.5 assists, and 6.4 rebounds on 40.7% shooting from the field and 36.7% from three-point range. Over his last five games, he's been even better, averaging 25.4 points, 11.6 assists, and 8.8 rebounds on 43.3% shooting from the field and 40.0% from three-point range. Ball is the undisputed leader of the Hornets' offense.

Given the Detroit Pistons' lack of offensive and defensive tenacity, we're expecting Ball to get his team's running game going early. While rebounding isn't his forte, as a tall guard, he's cleared 7.5 boards in 13 of his 35 appearances this season. With running room and a lesser defensive team facing him, expect him to clear 7.5 rebounds for the 14th time this campaign.

Orlando Magic @ New Orleans Pelicans: Best Prop Bets

Brandon Ingram Assists O 5.5 (+115) @ PointsBet

Despite the New Orleans Pelicans' losing streak, Brandon Ingram has remained engaged on the offensive end. At PointsBet, Brandon Ingram is a +115 to clear 5.5 assists when he faces the Orlando Magic.

On the season, Ingram is averaging 22.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.7 assists on 46.0% shooting from the field and 41.3% from three-point range. Through New Orleans' recent three-game losing streak, Ingram is averaging 26.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists on 41.4% shooting from the field and 43.8% from three-point range. While his shooting volume has increased, it hasn't resulted in wins for the Pelicans.

Against the Orlando Magic's long and athletic defense, Ingram will have no choice but to engage his playmaking skills. He's recorded 5.5-plus assists in just nine of his 26 games this season, but against Orlando's blitzing defense, he seems set for the occasion. Given his offensive threat and the defense presented, we see Ingram clearing 5.5 assists for the 10th time this year.
