Tuesday’s NBA schedule features a quintet of games, including a pair airing on TNT. Warriors vs. Bucks and Celtics vs. Lakers occupy tonight’s national spots. Here are four Tuesday NBA player props worth considering.
[cta id=445 type=cta]
NBA Player Props | Tuesday, Dec. 13
Steph Curry Over 5.5 Assists | Under 4.5 Threes
Considering Curry’s usage, and assisting track record – on the season and in recent contests – we like the odds of him hitting six assists. He’s averaging 8 dimes over his last nine games and 7 on the season.
We’re not as bullish on Curry hitting 5 threes despite his prolific ability. The Bucks are stingy defensively, both in terms of limiting the opponent’s volume and efficiency. And while it’s a tiny sample size, it’s worth noting Curry has only gone over 4.5 threes made in one of his last four meetings with the Bucks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 43.5 Points + Rebounds
Giannis fell under this number in each of his last three contests, but he’s still scoring and rebounding at a prolific clip over this recent stretch. He scored 30-plus points in eight of his last 10 and snatched double-digit rebounds six times over that span.
The Bucks are coming off of a loss, one in which Antetokounmpo struggled. It’s fair to expect a bounce back effort on a team and individual level in a high-profile showcase.
Zion Williamson Over 34.5 Points + Rebounds
Williamson is averaging 28.4 points and 8.9 boards over his last nine contests, a stretch in which the Pelicans are 8-1. He scored 35 points in each of his last two, both against the Suns, and eclipsed the 30-point barrier five times overall.
While Williamson isn’t as dominant on the glass as one may expect, he’s notched double-digit boards four times over the span, including pulling down 15 on Dec. 2. We like him to do enough in this department to complement his scoring.
Anthony Davis Over 40.5 Points + Rebounds
Davis remains white-hot. He’s averaging roughly 36 points and 13 rebounds over his last six (not including the game he exited after eight minutes).
The Celtics are in the midst of a rough stretch. They’re coming off of back-to-back losses and they’re playing their third game in four nights. The path to 42 points-plus-rebounds won’t be easy against a tough Celtics defense, but there should be enough room for Davis to reach the mark against what has to be a road weary opponent.
