With two primetime games set to air on TNT, Eastern Conference rival Philadelphia 76ers (20-37, 10-17 away) will face the New York Knicks (37-20, 20-10 home) on the road. +10 point underdogs, the 76ers are 1-9 in their last 10 games. With Joel Embiid's future uncertain due to injury, can Philadelphia turn it around?

At 37-20, the Knicks are the heavy favorites after two straight losses to the Celtics and Cavaliers. With a -50 point differential over that span, is it fair to favor the Knicks at 10 points?

For the late-night showdown, the Houston Rockets (36-22, 19-9 home) will host the struggling San Antonio Spurs (24-32, 9-18 away) at Toyota Center. Heavy point spread favorites, the Rockets are coming off a gutsy 100-97 victory over the Bucks Without Wembanyma, the Spurs have lost three straight.

NBA Best Prop Bets For Wednesday, February 26

NBA Player Prop Bet #1: Jalen Williams

Jalen Williams  2024-2025 Season Stats

PPG: 21 | FG: 47.6 % | FT: 77.8 % | 3PT : 35.1 % | REB: 5.5 | AST: 5.1 | STL: 1.7 |  BLK: 0.7

• Over 1.5 Made Threes (-125 DraftKings)

My first bet player prop bet for today, I placed on unit on OKC Thunder guard Jalen Williams to make over 1.5 made threes vs the Brooklyn Nets.

After averaging a career-high 21 points per game, Williams earned a well deserved spot in the 2025 NBA All-Star game. While his shooting percentages have dipped compared to last season, Williams remains a crucial piece to the Thunder's success.

Slightly overshadowed by Shai Gilgeous-Alexanders MVP campaign, Williams is the second leading scorer for the Thunder. With that, he remains the no. 2 guy behind SGA in field goal attempts (17), and field goals made (8.1). A player who receives a good volume of shots despite all the talent, still manages to put up 5.0 three-point attempts per game.

• Shooting 35.1 percent beyond the arc this season, Williams averages 1.7 trey balls per game.

Coming off a 27 point performance vs the Timberwolves on Monday, Williams struggled a bit from the floor. Even so, the guard finished 10-23 from the field, and 2-8 from deep in 42 minutes (including overtime). And the game before that, Williams banked 3-4 from deep, including a half court buzzer beater.

Although a bit inconsistent prior to the All-Star break this month, Williams has seemingly found his stride. Soaring over 1.5 made threes in three straight games, Williams has made 9 trey balls over that span.

• Not to mention, Williams has 20 three-point attempts in three games.

Jalen Williams Should Feast Against The Brooklyn Nets Today

This is one of my top NBA prop bets for today, especially given William's production over the last 10 games. Hitting 37.2 percent of three-point shots, he's been as durable as you can get for a team. I'm confident in the heavy shot volume, alone with minutes. Let's take a look at the matchup.

There's no doubt the Brooklyn Nets have some fight in them, even with a 21-36 record. 7-3 in their last 10 games, the Nets will get their toughest test yet. They are about to face the second best team in the NBA, who make the seventh most three-pointers per game (14.1).

With that, the Nets have been one of the least efficient teams among the perimeter. Allowing the 7th worst three-point percentage (36.6 %), Brooklyn allows the second most three-pointers to guards.

• Along with that, shooting guards are making the most trey balls per game against the Nets with 3.7 per game.

One of the best two-way players in the NBA, Williams ironically averages more three-pointers on the road (2.0) compared to home games (1.4).

• While a small sample size, William's has been lighting it up post All-Star break, shooting 45 % from beyond the arc.

Final NBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Jalen Williams Over 1.5 Made Threes (-125 DraftKings)

Having his most productive month since November, Williams is in a great spot against the Nets today.  As of recent, we saw Jordan Poole and Tyrese Maxey notch 5 three balls each over the last two game vs Brooklyn. Known for his catch and shoot threes (36.1 %), Williams has now tallied 2+ made threes in four of the last six games.

• The Nets roster has greatly changed, evolved, and Williams will face them for the first time this season. I'm taking Jalen Williams to record over 1.5 made threes today. 

NBA Player Prop Bet #2: Tyler Herro

Tyler Herro 2024-2025 Season Stats

PPG: 24 | FG: 46.1 % | FT: 86.3 % | 3PT : 37.2 % | REB: 5.5 | AST: 5.6 | STL: 0.8 |  BLK: 0.1

• Over 26.5 Points (-125 Fanatics)

My second best NBA player prop bet for today, I placed one unit on Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro to record over 26.5 points vs the Atlanta Hawks.

The winner of the Starry NBA Three-Point Contest over All-Star weekend, Herro is now the leader of the Heat with Butler shipped out of town. With that, Herro leads the Heat in scoring, field goal attempts (18), three-pointers made (3.6), and  three-point attempts (9.8).

The Miami Heat get the Atlanta Hawks once again, after conceding to them on Monday. With that, Herro had an off game, finishing with 11 points, on 4-19 shooting. In addition, Hero was 0-9 from the three-point line.

I will say, that's a rare performance for the former Kentucky guard. We are talking about a player that's full of grit, and remains one of the most elite sharpshooters in the NBA.

• 19th in points per game (24), Herro is averaging a career-high in points and minutes per game (35.7).

Given Jimmy Butlers last ever game with the Heat was end of January, we've seen Herro take a leap in terms of scoring performance. After a fairly consistent January, Herro has two 40 point performances over the last five games. While slightly inconsistent this month, we've seen his shot volume increase.

• Over the last three games, Herro has 21.3 field goal attempts, including back-to-back 40 minute nights vs the Bucks and Raptors.

Can Tyler Herro Be The Guy With Jimmy Butler Gone?

With Butler gone, we've seen Herro record 40, 28, and 40 points in the last five games without him. And of course, the addition of Andrew Wiggins might eat into Herro's production. Even so, Herro has soared over 26.5 points in the last 2/3 games with Wiggins on the court.

Today, we have to look at the matchup against the Hawks, who remain of the least efficient teams on the defensive end. Allowing the third most points per game in the NBA (119), the Hawks allow the third most points to guards.

• That said, point guards and shooting guards an averaging 23+ points against Atlanta this season.

Aside from Herro's performance on Monday, we saw Cade Cunningham (38) and Jalen Brunson (36) torch the Hawks defense. With that said, it's unlikely Herro will repeat a dreadful 4-19 performance.

• The leader in field goal attempts vs the Hawks this week, Herro led all head players with nine three-point attempts.

Final NBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Tyler Herro Over 26.5 Points (-125 Fanatics)

Now is the perfect night to break out of a shooting slump. Averaging 23.6 points on 23.3 three-point shooting over the last 10 games, do we smell a redemption game?

• I expect a comeback game from Herro, especially given the Hawks and Heat are tied for the no. 7 playoff spot. With the season winding down every game counts. While stakes are high, I'm riding with Tyler Herro to score over 26.5 points today. Grab it before it quickly moves!

NBA Player Prop Bet #3: Alperen Sengun

Alperen Sengun 2024-2025 Season Stats

PPG: 19.1 | FG: 48.8 % | FT: 69.5 % | 3PT : 22.8 % | REB: 10.5 | AST: 4.8 | STL: 1.2 |  BLK: 0.8

• Over 10.5 Rebounds (-120 DraftKings)

My third best NBA player prop bet for today, I placed one unit on Rockets big man Alperen Sengun to record over 10.5 rebounds against the Spurs.

RELATED ARTICLE: HOW THE VICTOR WEMBANYAMA INJURY IMPACTS THE SPURS

As mentioned in previous articles, the Spurs will remain without center Victor Wembanyama for the rest of the season. With that said, rim protection and front court depth is a major question.

It's no secret the Spurs allow the fourth most rebounds to opponents in the NBA (46.6), and have dropped three straight games. Out rebounded by the Pelicans two nights in a row, the Spurs are undersized with Bismack Biyombo, Harrison Barnes, and even Jeremy Sochan.

At 6’11, Sengun ranks no. 9 in the NBA in rebounds (10.5), and has 62 boards in the last five games. If you break it down, that’s an average of 12.4 rebounds per game.

Notching 12 rebounds vs the Spurs in October, we saw Yves Missi grab 26 rebounds in the last two games vs the Spurs alone. Given the Spurs allow the 12th most rebounds to centers, Sengun should feast tonight. Notching 12+ rebounds in four of the last five games, Sengun tallied 12 rebounds vs the Spurs early in the season.

Final NBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Alperen Sengun Over 10.5 Rebounds (-120 DraftKings)

Sengun should be able to control the inside with the size advantage tonight, especially since the Rockets lead the NBA in second chance points per game (17.8). The Spurs allow the third most second chance points per game (17.4), and this is a matchup nightmare for San Antonio.

Emerging as one of the top big men in the NBA, Sengun has a strong 17.9 rebounding percentage, including 10.9 % on the offensive boards.

• Without Victor Wembanyama, I like Alperen Sengun to record over 10.5 rebounds today.
