NBA player props for Tuesday, Oct. 27

Josh Hart Over 7.5 rebounds vs. Pistons (+103)

Luka Doncic Under 31.5 points vs. Trail Blazers (-104)

Josh Hart Over 7.5 rebounds vs. Pistons

The Knicks are having a bit of a championship hangover, starting the 2026-27 campaign 0-3. Hart has been crashing the boards though, as he's collected 27 rebounds across those three games. Detroit's front line struggled to contain opponents on the glass in the playoffs, and Hart continues to be one of the best rebounding guards in the league. He should be able to get at least eight against the Pistons. The SportsLine props model has Hart at 9.3 rebounds on Tuesday. Bet on NBA player props with the Caesars Sportsbook promo code CBSSPORTSBR250 and get $250 in bet resets:

Luka Doncic Under 31.5 points vs. Trail Blazers

The SportsLine props model has Doncic at 29.4 points for Tuesday's game. He's fresh off a 52-point effort against the Jazz, but he has shot below 40% from the floor in two of the team's three games to start the season. Doncic's shooting should eventually improve, but the Trail Blazers are a good defensive team. They were 12th in defensive rating last season and are third to start this season, so Doncic might still be inefficient against this group. If he's not able to get the free-throw line routinely, 31.5 is going to be tough number to top.
