Monday’s 11-game NBA slate is ripe with prop betting opportunities.
The latest: VJ Edgecombe has gotten plenty of run in his first two games with the Philadelphia 76ers, and is a good bet to stuff the stat sheet tonight. Elsewhere, look for Trey Murphy III to do damage against the struggling Boston Celtics.

Best bet: Edgecombe over 9.5 rebounds and assists (-118)
Edgecombe, the 2025 No. 3 overall pick, has played 82 minutes over his first two NBA games.
So much for easing a rookie into things.
The Baylor Bears product cleared this number in each of those contests, logging seven rebounds and three assists against the Celtics and six rebounds and eight assists against the Charlotte Hornets.
With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, I expect Nick Nurse to give the youngster plenty of run again against the Orlando Magic.
-> Bet on Edgecombe to stuff the stat sheet on Monday
Orlando is off to a 1-2 start, but still ranks sixth in defensive efficiency, so this won’t be an easy matchup for Edgecombe.
It is worth noting, though, that the Magic have given up the sixth-most rebounds and second-most assists per game to shooting guards, according to Fantasy Pros.
If Edgecombe plays anywhere near 40 minutes again, he should have enough opportunities to fly past this total.
Key stat: Five guards have cleared this line against Orlando in three games.
Best NBA picks
Murphy over 25.5 points and rebounds (-112): I’m loving Murphy’s chances of clearing this line against the new-look Celtics, who just look bad.
Boston is off to an 0-3 start with Jayson Tatum sidelined, and Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis traded. It ranks 23rd in defensive rating and 29th in rebounding rate.
Murphy stands at 6-foot-8 with solid rebounding upside at the shooting guard position.
He just dropped 24 points and 10 rebounds against Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs, who are second in defensive rating and rebounding rate.
Murphy had 13 points and seven rebounds in his season opener, but shot a terrible 5-for-15 from the field. The shot volume is there for him to eclipse this mark.
