The NBA slate features a six-pack of games and the potential for a flurry of overs, considering every matchup has a total set north of 220. We'll start with the early game between the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns as we cover the best player props for the evening.

Kevin Huerter over 12.5 points

I love this buy-low spot on Huerter, who's coming off a game against the Nets in which he finished 3-of-11 from the floor with eight points and a -23 net rating. For starters, the volume should be there. After going seven straight games with fewer than 10 field-goal attempts, Huerter has put up double-digit shots in 11 of the last 12. He's poured in double-digit points in eight of the last 10 and should be in for a solid night against a Suns defense allowing the third-most points to opposing shooting guards this year.

Spencer Dinwiddie under 4.5 assists

Although Dinwiddie leads the team in points per game this season, he's still found a way to distribute the ball, averaging a solid 6.4 assists per contest. Tuesday's total isn't a huge number, but it makes sense. The opponent, Utah, allows the third-fewest assists to opposing point guards this season and is No. 7 in the NBA in points allowed per game. Against top-seven scoring defenses this season, Dinwiddie's averaging 4.1 assists per contest, so let's go under in this spot.

Tim Hardaway Jr. over points + rebounds + assists

Hardaway Jr.'s certainly found his shooting stroke of late, posting at least 15 points in seven of the last nine games. What's even more impressive is four of those games came against scoring defenses that are currently top-six in the league. He should be able to continue that momentum against a Warriors unit allowing the second-most points in the league to opposing shooting guards and the most 3-point makes per game at 4.06.

Rudy Gobert over 16.5 rebounds

Gobert makes numbers like this appear low. The two-time Defensive Player of the Year has averaged 14.1 rebounds per game over his last seven and could be in for another huge night on Tuesday. Utah is No. 7 in the NBA in opponent field-goal percentage, which has presented Gobert with more opportunities to get boards. Brooklyn has allowed the third-most rebounds to opposing centers this year, which will help Gobert pad his stats.

James Harden over 56.5 points + rebounds + assists

Yeah, we're going there. The Rockets-Grizzlies total is the highest on the board at 240.5 and Harden should get whatever he wants. Memphis is allowing the fifth-most points and the most rebounds per game to opposing point guards, and the fourth-most 3-point makes overall. Also, no Russell Westbrook in the lineup should spell another earth-shattering night on the stat sheet for the Rockets' cog.
