Tuesday's player props were a wash. We wound up going 2-3 and missed a couple by close calls, but we hit on our biggest headliner, as Atlanta's Kevin Huerter smashed his point total against the Suns.

With 10 games on tap for Wednesday, here's to a bounce-back day. Let's dive into the evening's best player props.

Devonte' Graham over 7.5 assists

We faded Graham on the point total last week against the Raptors, highlighting his struggles against top-tier defenses. Coming into that contest averaging 13.8 points per game against units that rank in the top-5 in opponent scoring, Graham put up 11 points on 3-of-15 shooting from the field. Denver, the Hornets' opponent on Wednesday, fits the bill. The Nuggets are currently No. 5 in the NBA in points per game allowed and they've surrendered the seventh-fewest points per game to opposing points guards. However, they're allowing the third-most assists per game to the position, meaning there's potential value on Graham in that area.

Dejounte Murray under 9.5 points

The Heat defense has been torched recently, but I don't think it's safe to start blind betting overs for Wednesday's matchup against the Spurs. Miami's been getting burned in the paint as of late, where it's allowed a combined 132 points over the last two games. I'd expect a better effort against San Antonio after the team sounded off regarding its defensive issues. I have no problem fading Murray here, as he faces a defense that's allowing the fewest points to opposing floor generals this year.

Tomas Satoransky over 22.5 points + rebounds + assists

Ah, yes, a little revenge game for Satoransky, who was dealt to Chicago by the Wizards this past summer in a sign-and-trade. He has a ton of upside on Wednesday in a game that features one of the highest totals on the board and should be played at a frenetic pace. It's also a great individual matchup for Satoransky, who goes up against a Wizards defense that's allowing the most points and second-most assists to opposing shooting guards this season.

Nikola Vucevic under 30.5 points + rebounds

You can essentially pencil Vucevic in for a double-double on a nightly basis. The veteran big man has recorded the feat in six of his last seven outings and is averaging 18.8 points and 11.4 rebounds per game on the season. Wednesday's matchup against the Lakers is intriguing - it's the second-lowest total on the slate and might suppress stats all around. If there's one player who could be in for a potential dud, it's Vucevic, who's up against a Lakers defense that's allowing the fourth-fewest points and fewest rebounds to opposing centers.

Jayson Tatum over 21.5 points

I love the matchup here for Tatum if he plays, who would get a Pistons defense allowing the third-most points to opposing power forwards this year. Tatum's expanded his offensive repertoire, taking more threes on a per-game basis this year than last. That should play well against a Detroit unit that's surrendering the fourth-most threes per contest to power forwards.
