It’s about that time again—time for another installment of the NBA In-Season Tournament on Tuesday night.

The big story of the NBA is that Father Time may finally be winning his everlasting bout with LeBron James, who failed to score 20 points in five of his last six games. 

Nearly every game on Monday was a blowout, with the only exception being a 12-point game between the Atlanta Hawks and the New Orleans Pelicans. With spots in the knockout round up for grabs, tonight’s matchups figure to bring more competition and intrigue back to the hardwood.

Here are our best NBA player props for the In-Season Tournament on Tuesday.

Best NBA Prop Bets for Tuesday, December 3

Jamal Murray Under 2.5 Threes (-128) at FanDuel

Murray has a baffling legacy as one of the greatest postseason performers in NBA history (check the numbers), yet he’s never made an All-Star team. He’s also having his worst season in several years and averaged 18.1 points on 33.3 percent shooting from beyond the arc.

The former NBA champion went under this line in seven of his last nine games, including each of his last four. He only shot 31.9 percent from deep in November and is facing a Golden State Warriors defense that allows a league-best 32.7 percent on three-pointers and gives up the eighth-fewest threes per game.

Isiah Hartenstein Over 13.5 Points (-115) at FanDuel

The first-year member of the OKC Thunder averaged 15.2 points and went over this line in three of five games with his new squad. He dropped 19 on the Houston Rockets’ outstanding defense in his last outing and is shooting an efficient 61.1 percent from the field in a career-high 31.6 minutes per game.

The Thunder are facing the Utah Jazz, who give up the fifth-most points per game and are 23rd in points in the paint allowed per game. That’s a great matchup for Hartenstein, who never hesitates to do the dirty work inside and to create easy opportunities for himself.

Josh Hart Under 5.5 Assists (-130) at FanDuel

The widely-loved Hart went under this line in four straight games and averaged exactly 5.5 assists per game. He also now has to go against the Orlando Magic, who posted the third-best defensive rating and allowed the second-fewest assists per game in the entire sport.

The Knicks’ offense has been incandescent thus far, but Hart went under in both matchups with Eastern Conference contenders (the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics). Orlando is in that conversation and has a tremendous defense, which is why we like him to go under this line on Tuesday.

Vasilije Micic Under 1.5 Threes (-130) at FanDuel

The Serbian guard made less than one three per game on 29.6 percent shooting from deep. He’s never been known as a three-point shooter and only made 28.2 percent of his attempts during his NBA career, which only began last year with the Thunder before he was traded to the Charlotte Hornets.

Micic made three of six three-point attempts in his last outing but went under in three straight before that and in seven of nine games overall. Even though the Philadelphia 76ers have been terrible at defending the three-point line, there’s little reason to believe that he will go over this line.

Jabari Smith Jr. Over 1.5 Threes (-106) at FanDuel

Smith Jr., the third-overall pick a couple of years ago, drilled at least two threes in four straight games and has gotten more comfortable as a three-point shooter as of late. He shot 38.2 percent from beyond the arc in November and averaged 1.7 made threes per game for the season overall.

The Rockets are about to take on the Sacramento Kings, who allowed their opponents to make 38.2 percent of their triples, the third-highest mark in the league. They also allowed teams to make 15.2 threes per game, or the second most per game in the NBA.
