Best NBA Player Props for Tonight: De'Aaron Fox, Andrew Wiggins, and Christian Wood
The NBA 2022-2023 season will continue on Thursday (October 27) with eight teams in action.
Take a look at three player props for tonight's action, featuring De'Aaron Fox, Andrew Wiggins, and Christian Wood.
NBA Player Prop #1: De'Aaron Fox Over 25.5 Points (-130)
De'Aaron Fox is enjoying the best start to his young career. The Sacramento Kings point guard is averaging 31.7 points per game, shooting 59.4% from the field and 45.0% from the 3-point range. He has scored at least 26 points in the Kings' first three games.
Expect Fox's breakout season to continue for at least another night, as he faces a struggling Memphis Grizzlies defense. After ranking 12th in opponents points per game and fourth in defensive rating last season, the Grizzlies rank 29th and 30th in the two categories this campaign.
Additionally, both teams like to push the pace, which should lead to a high-scoring game. Look for De'Aaron Fox to extend his season-opening streak of scoring at least 26 points to four games.

NBA Player Prop #2: Andrew Wiggins Under 17.5 Points (-113)
Andrew Wiggins has had a career resurgence since joining the Golden State Warriors. While that has continued thiss eason, expect the All-Star forward to have some struggles tonight.
After averaging 22.3 points per game and shooting 52.0% from the field and 38.1% from the 3-point range, Wiggins struggled in his last game. Against an elite wing defender in Mikal Bridges, Wiggins scored just 16 points while shooting 41.2%.
Wiggins will once again be facing an elite wing defender, as he will be matched up against Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat. While he will likely find other ways to contribute, expect Wiggins to score less than 18 points.

NBA Player Prop #3: Christian Wood Over 19.5 Points (-113)
In his first year with the Dallas Mavericks, Christian Wood is playing the best basketball of his career early on. The big man is averaging 24.3 points per game, shooting a spectacular 62.2% from the field and 61.5% from the 3-point range. He has scored at least 23 points in the Mavericks' first three games.
Wood will be facing a Brooklyn Nets defense that has allowed eight opponents to score at least 20 points through their first four games. The Nets rank 25th in opponents points per game and 29th in defensive rating.
Don't expect them to get it right against a Mavericks offense that ranks ninth in points per game and first in offensive rating. Look for Wood to score at least 20 points in a high scoring NBA game.
