Welcome to our brand new NBA DFS series covering Underdog Fantasy contests! We will continue to focus on the NBA DFS props offered on Underdog called Higher/Lower (Over/Under).
Higher/Lower is traditional over/under DFS prop picks -- whether you think a player will score Over or Under the set lines, and choosing your amount. You can parlay multiple picks together to vastly increase the juice (e.g., three picks = 6x your bet). Underdog Fantasy offers some of the industry's best and easiest-to-win NBA DFS games. At Underdog Fantasy, you're not playing against other people -- you're just playing against the projections.

Luka Doncic, 36.5 Points (LOWER)
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic takes on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. The Cavaliers average 25 points per game allowed to point guards this season, but Doncic is no ordinary point guard. After two straight games scoring at least 39 points, Doncic will be hard-pressed to extend that streak. The Mavericks are also four-point favorites in this contest, so they could pull away late. The truth is 37 points is a lot of points, and hopefully, Doncic is more of a distributor in this game.
Chet Holmgren, 8.5 Rebounds (LOWER)
Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren takes on the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. Following a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Holmgren gets another tough matchup. The Timberwolves allow the fewest rebounds per game to centers, and the Knicks allow the fourth-fewest. Coming off a game where he collected four rebounds, I expect Holmgren to struggle to reach nine rebounds in this contest.
Tyrese Maxey, 7.0 Assists (LOWER)
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey is taking on the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The Sixers' star averages 6.7 assists per game this season, but he has a tough matchup today. The Magic allow the fourth-fewest assists per game to point guards this season. Maxey will also have to face them without the help of Joel Embiid. Without his fellow superstar, Maxey could struggle to reach seven assists. He has also had less than six assists in two of his last three games.
Cam Thomas, 21.5 Points (HIGHER)
Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas takes on the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. The Bucks' perimeter defense has declined significantly since losing Jrue Holiday in the trade for Damian Lillard. The Bucks are allowing the fourth-most points per game to opposing shooting guards this season. Pair that with Thomas averaging 23.5 points per game this season, and it seems like a foregone conclusion.
Jakob Poeltl, 8.5 Rebounds (HIGHER)
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl takes on the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. The Wizards are allowing the most rebounds per game to centers this season, over 18 rebounds per game. Poeltl is averaging eight rebounds per game this season, so if he performs to his capability in the most advantageous matchup for centers, he should easily reach nine rebounds in this contest.
Alperen Sengun, 4.5 Assists (HIGHER)
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun takes on the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night. The Suns are allowing the seventh-most assists per game to centers this season. Sengun plays an essential role in the Houston offense, often acting as the distributor for his teammates. The Rockets' center averages 5.2 assists per game this season, so if Sengun plays to his average, he will hit the over.
