NBA Prop Picks Today: Best Player Props for Tuesday, October 20

Tuesday brings a compact three-game NBA slate, and I have three player props to walk through. Two come from Boston at Detroit, and one comes from Oklahoma City at San Antonio to close the night.

As always, the picks are ranked by PF Rating. The board opens with a Spurs guard setting up his teammates, then shifts to the Celtics and Pistons game for two unders.

Devin Vassell Over 1.5 Assists (-250, Bally Bet)

Devin Vassell

Over 1.5 Assists

Bet now-250

Devin Vassell leads the card with a PF Rating of 85.5 on assists. He has topped 1.5 assists in 9 of his last 10 games while averaging 2.8, and he has cleared it in 12 of 15 meetings with Oklahoma City. The Thunder rank 1st of 30 in what they allow to shooting guards, the most generous spot in the league. The price is steep at -250, so this one fits better as a piece of a parlay than a standalone play.

Mitchell Robinson Under 13.5 Pts + Reb (-108, Betano)

Mitchell Robinson

Under 13.5 Pts + Reb

Bet now-108

Mitchell Robinson has a PF Rating of 79.5 on the under for points plus rebounds. He has stayed under 13.5 in 9 of his last 10 games, averaging 9.9 combined over that stretch, and he has stayed under in 8 of 10 against Detroit. The Pistons rank 30th of 30 in what they allow to centers, the stingiest mark in the league, which backs the under at a near even price of -108.

Ausar Thompson Under 10.5 Points (-118, SugarHouse)

Ausar Thompson

Under 10.5 Points

Bet now-118

Ausar Thompson closes the card with a PF Rating of 77 on the under for points. He has stayed under 10.5 in 9 of his last 10 games, averaging 7.3 points, and he has stayed under in 6 of 7 against Boston, a small but consistent sample. The Celtics rank 25th of 30 in what they allow to small forwards, one of the tougher assignments at the position, which supports the under at -118.
