Best NBA Player Props for Tonight: LeBron James, James Harden, and Trae Young
The 2022-2023 NBA season continues on Wednesday (October 26th) with twenty teams set to take the court. LeBron James, James Harden, and Trae Young headline three player props for tonight's action.
NBA Player Prop #1: LeBron James Over 7.5 Assists (-115)
LeBron James is one of the most accomplished passers in NBA history, as he is one of just seven players with at least 10,000 career assists. During the Los Angeles Lakers' first three games, LeBron has recorded at least eight assists twice.
With Russell Westbrook doubtful to play, James should have the ball in his hands more often than normal. Furthermore, there should be additional spacing for the Lakers to operate. Expect LeBron to once again pick up at least eight assists a Denver Nuggets team that ranks 30th in opponents points per game and 29th in defensive rating.

NBA Player Prop #2: James Harden Over 22.5 Points (-125)
James Harden has been one of the most prolific scorers of his generation. Since leaving the Houston Rockets, however, Harden's production has decreased with fewer touches. In his first full season with the Philadelphia 76ers, Harden has looked like his former self.
Through the 76ers first four games, Harden has scored at least 29 points on 54% shooting or higher three times. Although he will be facing a Toronto Raptors defense that has been strong early on, Harden should easily score at least 23 points.

NBA Player Prop #3: Trae Young Over 38.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)
Trae Young has shown that he can fill up the stat sheet as he led the NBA in both total points and total assists last season. Young is off to an equally strong start in 2022-2023, as he leads the NBA in assists per game.
Young has finished with at least 39 combined points, rebounds, and assists in each of the Atlanta Hawks' first three games. With the Hawks set to take on a Detroit Pistons team that struggles to defend, that streak will most likely continue.
The Pistons currently rank 25th in opponents points per game and 27th in defensive rating. Look for Young to take advantage of the Pistons' poor defense and, once again, combine to reach at least 39 combined points, rebounds, and assists.
