On Monday, December 22, a total of seven games have been scheduled in the NBA<\/a>. The day starts with the Charlotte Hornets locking horns with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the re-match of their last week’s encounter. As the day progresses, the Indiana Pacers will visit Boston to clash against the Celtics for the first time in the season. In more such games, the Mavericks will be up against the Pelicans while the Jazz travel to Denver. There is a lot for fans to enjoy and for bettors to make the most of the betting opportunities. Here, we breakdown the NBA Best props of the day for Monday, December 22. <\/p>

NBA Best Props of the Day <\/h2>

Nikola Jokic O 30.5 Points vs Utah Jazz: -104<\/a><\/h3>
    <\/ol>

    Nikola Jokic is leading the Denver Nuggets’ offensive charge<\/a> with an average of 29.4 points per game. He is shooting 60.5% from the field and 42.1% from the three-point range. In addition to it, Jokic maintains an average of 29.0 points per game on 57.6% shooting from the field and 38.1% from the three-point range. In the last five games, the three-time MVP came up with two 30+ point performances, including a 39+ point show against the Houston Rockets. In the remaining three games, he has dropped 20+ point games. Considering his momentum, and Jazz’s second-worst defensive rating in the league, we expect Jokic to score over 31 points in the upcoming game. <\/p>

    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander O 32.5 Points vs Memphis Grizzlies: -108<\/a><\/h3>
      <\/ol>

      Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the second-leading scorer in the league, with 32.5 points through 27 games this NBA season. In the recent loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, SGA came up with 35 points on 46.2% shooting from the field and 42.9% shooting from the deep. In the last five games, SGA dropped three 30+ point games, including a 35+ point show against the Wolves. Considering the fact that the Thunder have the best defensive rating in the league, while the Grizzlies sit at the 13th spot, we expect the reigning MVP to come up with 33 points or more on Monday. <\/p>

      Anthony Davis O 11.5 Rebounds vs New Orleans Pelicans: -144 <\/a><\/h3>
        <\/ol>

        Anthony Davis is one of the leading rebounders in the NBA 2025-26 season, grabbing an average of 11.2 boards through 13<\/a> games<\/a>. In the last three games, Davis came up with 14+ rebounds on all three occasions. In fact, he is averaging 10.3 rebounds per game on the road through four games this season. Considering the fact that the New Orleans Pelicans have a better offensive rating than the Mavs but a lower defensive rating as well as Davis’ momentum, we expect him to continue his momentum and grab over 12 rebounds on Monday. <\/p>
