We followed up a 4-1 Monday by hitting three of our five player props Tuesday, as we got big nights from the Washington Wizards' Rui Hachimura, Houston Rockets' James Harden, and Portland Trail Blazers' CJ McCollum. With plenty of volume on Wednesday's 11-game slate, here are the best props to consider.

Pascal Siakam under 1.5 made 3-pointers

Siakam is in line for his second straight campaign with a 3-point percentage above 36%. He's at 36.7% after converting on a career-high 36.9% last season. The All-Star starter is coming off a game in which he drilled a season-high six triples. However, this is the perfect sell-high spot. Siakam has made multiple threes just once in his last five outings and gets a Brooklyn Nets defense that's second in the league in 3-pointers allowed to power forwards.

Myles Turner under 17.5 points + rebounds

Whether you're playing daily fantasy or props, the Indiana Pacers' offense is one I'd fade considering the Milwaukee Bucks' recent defensive success away from home. Turner has arguably the toughest matchup, as the Bucks lead the league in points in the paint allowed per game, and they give up the fifth-fewest points to centers.

Trae Young over 10.5 assists

Young has gone berserk on the stat sheet lately, scoring at least 29 points in each of his last four games to go along with a pair of double-doubles. He has a fantastic matchup against a Cleveland Cavaliers defense that's allowing the fifth-most points in the NBA to point guards, but I like his assist potential even more. Cleveland is surrendering north of nine dimes per contest to floor generals, which is the second-highest mark in the league.

Jaren Jackson Jr. over 4.5 rebounds

Despite playing power forward, Jackson hasn't been all that active on the boards this season with an average of just 4.8 rebounds per game. However, he's recorded at least five in three of the last four and gets a Trail Blazers team that's playing the second leg of a back-to-back and allows the most rebounds in the league to power forwards. Hammer this number.

Kendrick Nunn under 1.5 made 3-pointers

Thankfully, the Miami Heat player props were released late Monday. I initially thought Nunn was in a perfect buy-low spot against the Golden State Warriors, who struggle against guards. I laid off, and Nunn's slump continued, as he's now on a 17-for-67 drought from the field after going 2-of-13 with four points against one of the worst defensive units in basketball. I wouldn't expect Wednesday to be a get-right game for the rookie guard, as the Utah Jazz are No. 6 in opponent 3-point percentage, and Nunn looks like he's trying to fit a beach ball in the basket right now.

Collin Sexton under 1.5 made 3-pointers

We'll keep the 3-pointer under trend going here with Sexton, who's at 36.8% from deep this season after converting on a blistering 40.2% last year. His volume shouldn't be a concern Wednesday, as he's attempted five or fewer triples in six of the last seven contests. He has a tough matchup, too, against an Atlanta Hawks defense that's surrendering the fewest made threes to point guards this season.
