NBA Monday player props: Fade Bullock, Westbrook

We've been a bit up and down in the player prop market the last few weeks after a scorching-hot start, but there's no time like the present to get back on track.

Here's what we're rolling with for Monday's seven-game slate.

Reggie Bullock under 1.5 assists

I like the Knicks plus the points on the road against the Nets on Monday, but I don't mind fading Bullock in the process.

New York's 0.541 assists per made field goals is the second-lowest clip in the NBA, while Brooklyn's 0.580 allowed ranks ninth. Bullock has been held to one or zero assists in six of his last 10 and faces a Nets defense allowing the third-fewest dimes per game to small forwards (3.29).

Moses Brown under 13.5 points

Tough matchup here for Brown, who draws a Pistons defense allowing the sixth-worst shooting percentage (52.21) and creating the fourth-most turnovers per game (3.11) against opposing centers. Brown's been held under this total in three of four, and I project him north of 11 for a depleted Thunder offense.

Russell Westbrook under 26.5 points

Points should come in bunches between the Raptors and Wizards, who have cashed seven straight overs. However, I'm pretty comfortable fading Westbrook's point total.

The versatile guard's been held to 26 points or fewer in three straight and six of the last seven and has shot better than 50% from the floor just once over that stretch.

Don't expect the tide to turn against Toronto, which is holding point guards to the fifth-worst shooting percentage in the league (42.01%).

Luka Doncic under 8.5 rebounds

This is a good spot to go under Doncic's rebound total. The Jazz allow the seventh-fewest boards per game overall (50.1) in the NBA and hold point guards to just 5.72 per contest, the fifth-best mark.

The Mavs star has been held to six or fewer rebounds in all five meetings against Utah in his career and hasn't registered more than eight in each of his previous six starts.

Devin Booker over 4.5 rebounds

While the Jazz are great at limiting boards, the same can't be said of the Rockets. They're giving up a league-worst 57.1 per game as the offense shoots a collective 43.8% from the floor this season.

Everyone's bringing down rebounds against Houston, including shooting guards; they're averaging 6.71 per contest. That in turn gives us the nod to play the over on Booker, who's smashed this total in six of his last nine.
