After an exciting day of NBA basketball action on Christmas Day, other teams in the league will take the floor on December 26th. The 2022-23 NBA season continues to heat up and the playoff races are only going to get better from this point.
If you are looking to bet on NBA games on Monday then you should be looking at player prop betting options. With that in mind, here are five of the best NBA player prop picks to make:
Anthony Edwards Under 23.5 Points (-115)
Timberwolves vs. Heat Predictions
The Minnesota Timberwolves have not been as good as advertised this season and injuries have kept them from reaching their full potential. Minnesota is on the road in Miami on Monday night and they are facing a tough Heat squad.
Anthony Edwards is capable of having a big night every time he takes the floor, but Miami has plenty of great defenders. Take the under 23.5 points for Edwards, as Miami will be able to shut him down.
DeMar DeRozan Over 26.5 Points (-120)
The Chicago Bulls have had an interesting season and they are still four games under the .500 mark. Chicago has been fighting internally among teammates, but they have rattled off three straight wins.
The one constant for the Bulls has been DeMar DeRozan and he just continues to put up points. Chicago hosts the Houston Rockets on Monday night and taking the over 26.5 points for DeRozan is the way to go in this game.

Tre Jones Over 6.5 Assists (+105)
The San Antonio Spurs are just 10-22 on the year and they are hosting a solid Utah Jazz team on Monday night. The Spurs are a team with some young talent, but they just don’t have enough of it to win games with any sort of consistency.
Tre Jones has been playing well for San Antonio and he puts his team in a good position on offense. Take the over 6.5 (+105), as Jones will find a way to have a big night on offense.
Zion Williamson Over 7.5 Rebounds (-105)
Pacers vs. Pelicans Predictions
Zion Williamson has remained healthy for the Pelicans this season and he begins the second half of the year looking to stay that way. New Orleans hosts the Indiana Pacers on Monday night and this is a game that should feature plenty of offense.
Indiana is a team that loves to shoot the ball from deep and that will lead to some long rebounds in this game. Bet on Williamson to bring in at least seven rebounds as he goes over the total that is set.
Anfernee Simons Under 3.5 Made Three Point Field Goals (+100)
Hornets vs. Trail Blazers Predictions
The Portland Trail Blazers host the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night and the home team has been much better than expected this season. Portland is over the .500 mark and they were expected to struggle.
Anfernee Simons has been a big reason for the success and he just continues to shoot the ball well. Take the under 3.5 made three-point field goals for Simons on Monday though, as the Hornets will find him on the perimeter.
