Happy Monday, RotoBallers, and Happy Thanksgiving Week. We have a full 11-game NBA slate to take advantage of today, so we should be able to find a handful of prop picks to invest in over on Monkey Knife Fight.

Andre Drummond (DET) vs. Jonathan Isaac (ORL) [+8.5] Rebounds
With Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic already ruled out for Monday, Isaac will once again have a chance to clean up the boards as much as he wants against the Pistons. The combo forward has 22 rebounds in his last two contests, and I project him for around 10 tonight. So as long as Drummond doesn't reach 20 rebounds, this prop should be fine. With Blake Griffin expected to play, I think Drummond ends up more towards 15-18 boards tonight.

Domantas Sabonis (IND) OVER 11.5 Rebounds
Before his dud on Saturday, Sabonis had at least 13 rebounds in eight straight contests. After the nine-rebound performance and with Myles Turner back in the mix, this line has been deflated. This is a nice pace-up spot for the Pacers (Ha!), and the Grizzlies love to shoot the rock, but not always well. I think Sabonis can get back on track with at least 12 boards on Monday.

Trae Young (ATL) OVER 2.5 Three Pointers Made
This game is going to be extremely entertaining, as the totals are huge and the spread is tight. Minnesota is 26th in the league against point guards, and Trae Young is one of the best young shooters in the game right now. He got back on track with 11 three point attempts on Saturday, and I think he comes out firing again on Monday. Three three pointers for Young seems like a pretty safe bet here.

Jeff Teague (MIN) OVER 7.5 Assists
Just take all the overs in this one! Not much to say here that wasn't said in the previous paragraph. Teague should get his 33-35 minutes, and he has at least eight assists in four of his last five games. Pair these two together with a Towns, Wiggins, or Parker prop and make some coin!

CJ McCollum (POR) [-0.5] vs. Lauri Markkanen (CHI) Three Pointers Made
This should be another fast-paced, tight contest with the Bulls in a nice pace-up spot. However, the comparison of McCollum to Markkanen here is absurd. McCollum has shot 7, 10, 10, and 12 threes in his past four contests while the Chicago big man has 4 three point attempts in each of his past four games. That's a bit lopsided, and it would take a weird game for the Portland guard to lose (or tie) this three-point contest.
