2023-24 NBA Player Props, Breakdown, Odds, and Picks (Dec 26)

  • We’ve got two NBA player props for you for Tuesday, December 26.
  • Will Tyrese Haliburton find a way to outsmart the Rockets in Houston?
  • Will the Timberwolves manage to stop Oklahoma’s points leader Shai Gilgeous-Alexander?

Nine games of the 2023-24 NBA are on the program today, some of which look great for those bettors who are into player props. One of those is the Pacers vs. Rockets, in which the NBA’s No. 2 defense will try to stop Tyrese Haliburton and his teammates from the league’s best offense.

Another game interesting for NBA player props is the Timberwolves vs. Thunder game, in which the league’s best defense will need to work hard to stop the NBA’s fourth most productive scorer Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.


Pacers vs. Rockets

How to Watch

  • When: Tuesday, December 26, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Where: Toyota Center, Houston, Texas                                    
  • Channel: NBA TV

Game Preview

The Indiana Pacers are the highest-scoring team in the 2023-24 NBA, with a PPG of 125.9. Their points leader is Tyrese Haliburton with 24.5 per game on average. He scored 29 points in his last game, but in the seven games before, he scored fewer than his points average.

He’s not in great form right now, and the worst thing is that he and his team are taking on the Houston Rockets tonight, who are one of the league’s best defenses. These guys are conceding just 107.7           points per game.

NBA Player PropOdds
Tyrese Haliburton Under 24.5 Points

Timberwolves vs. Thunder

How to Watch

  • When: Tuesday, December 26, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Where: Paycom Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma                                            
  • Channel: NBA League Pass

Game Preview

Oklahoma’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is fourth on the list of the points leaders of the 2023-24 NBA. He’s averaging 30.8 points per game, scoring above that number in six of his last 10 games. Will he score more than that tonight?

Perhaps, but his points margin is set to 33.5 points by BetUS Sportsbook. So, the real question is can he score 34 or more against the league’s best defense?

The Minnesota Timberwolves are conceding 106.6 points per game, which is fewer than any other team in the NBA at this point.

NBA Player PropOdds
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 33.5 Points
