Mikal Bridges has fit in perfectly as one of Brooklyn's star men, and he'll need to maintain his production on Tuesday night. At Caesars Sportsbook, Bridges is a +102 to clear 2.5 assists when he faces the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bridges has been a solid passer all season, but he'll be tested against Cleveland's impressive defense.

Since joining the Brooklyn Nets, Bridges has averaged 25.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists on 49.6% shooting from the field and 43.9% from three-point range. Through his last five games, Bridges has averaged 27.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists on 46.9% from the field and 36.6% from three-point range. While he's been more focused on scoring since joining the Nets, Bridges must create against Cleveland's tough defense for others.

Mikal Bridges has yet to clear 2.5 assists since his March 7th game against the Houston Rockets. On the season, Bridges has cleared 2.5 assists in 45 of his 72 appearances. We see this wager hitting despite Bridges' current form, as Cleveland's defense should force Bridges into the role of a playmaker - which he performs well given the opportunity.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has produced a star-making season this year and his production matches it. At FanDuel Sportsbook, Gilgeous-Alexander is a +122 to clear 5.5 assists when he faces the LA Clippers. Gilgeous-Alexander has been very good against the Clippers this season, leading his Thunder to wins over them twice.

On the season, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 31.4 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.8 rebounds on 51.1% shooting from the field and 35.1% from three-point range. In three games since returning from injury, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged an impressive 34.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists on 53.7% from the field while failing to miss his two three-point attempts. Against the Clippers this season, Gilgeous-Alexander has taken on more of a playmaking role by averaging 7.0 assists per game.

Gilgeous-Alexander has fallen short of his season average assists numbers through his last three games, failing to clear 5.5 assists once. On the season, Gilgeous-Alexander has collected six or more assists in 31 of his 60 appearances this season. The Clippers are a strong defensive team that will try to limit Gilgeous-Alexander on the scoring front, so he should find success in his playmaking.

San Antonio Spurs vs New Orleans Pelicans: Best Prop Bets

Brandon Ingram Three-Pointers Made Over 1.5 (+100) @ PointsBet

Brandon Ingram has had trouble with availability this season, but he's been impressive in the games he has played in. At PointsBet, Ingram is a +100 to clear 1.5 threes when he plays the San Antonio Spurs. Against the lowly Spurs and their perimeter defense, Ingram should thrive offensively.

On the season, Ingram is averaging 23.2 points, 5.0 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.6 threes per game on 47.2% shooting from the field and 39.3% from three. In three games since returning from injury, Ingram has averaged 26.3 points, 7.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.7 threes on 49.2% from the field and 38.5% from three. Ingram only cleared 1.5 threes in one of his two games against the Spurs this season.

In Ingram's last three games, he's cleared 1.5 threes just once. On the season, Ingram has scored two or more threes in 15 of his 31 appearances this season. Allowing 12.3 threes per game (17th in the NBA) on 39.2% efficiency (30th in the NBA), Ingram should have plenty of chances to convert from the arc.
