NBA Player Prop #1: Trae Young To Score 25+ Points (-175)

Atlanta Hawks vs Toronto Raptors Match Details

Fixture: Hawks @ Raptors

Date and Time: Monday, October 31 (7:30 pm EST)

Venue: Scotiabank Arena

Trae Young has been the Hawks' best option on offense this season, averaging 31.5 points per game on 41% shooting. He has been on a hot streak, especially in the last few games, scoring 35, 36 and 42 points.

Two of those games were against the Detroit Pistons and their questionable defensive, but the most recent 42-point night was against the lockdown Milwaukee Bucks.

When shooters like Young are hot-handed, you have to ride with them till you're given a reason not to. The Raptors have a tough interior defense, but Young should get his numbers with his 3-point shots tonight.

The Raptors are going to be a tough Eastern Conference matchup. However, as proven against the Bucks last night, you can always count on Young to get up for tough games and look to carry the team. Twenty-five points is too low for him tonight; expect Young to finish well above that mark.


NBA Player Prop #2: Lauri Markkanen Over 19.5 Points (-120)

Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies Match Details

Fixture: Grizzlies @ Jazz

Date and Time: Monday, October 31, (9:00 pm EST)

Venue: Vivint Arena

Lauri Markkanen is averaging 21.4 points per game this NBA season, and most recently, he scored 23 against the Grizzlies in a back-to-back.

Markkanen carried most of the minutes, but his 3-point shooting kept him from having a massive night of scoring. The Grizzlies aren't a lockdown team on defense, and to exarcebate matters, Ja Morant and Desmond Bane are still on the IR as day-to-day.

If the Grizzlies are without the duo tonight, it may be an open season for Markkanen and the Utah Jazz to pour in the points. Expect the Jazz to spread the ball around and have several scorers over the 20-point mark, but Markkanen should lead the way tonight.
