We've got some late-breaking news ahead of Wednesday's whopper of a 12-game slate, as Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis has drawn a 1-gamer for "aggressively confronting" an official in the loss to the Knicks. That takes a little air out of a matchup between the two leaders in double-doubles this season, as the King's prepare to host the Nuggets.

Brandon Ingram will also miss a second straight game for the Pelicans, while Portland is up to a +18 point underdog in a visit to the Jazz. There's only two games on tap for Thursday, so let's get it while we can here.

🏀Top 5 Player Props March 9th 🏀

LineStar has a new Player Prop tab that lets you search for the best individual props through apps such as DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and PointsBet. Here are some of the best bets for tonight:

🏀Jayson Tatum (Over 42.5 points, rebounds, assists) - Tatum had 50 points alone on Sunday, he's had the last 2 nights off, and Charlotte served up 50 last night to Kyrie Irving.

🏀Giannis Antetokounmpo (Over 11.5 rebounds) - Fool me once or something. Had just 7 rebounds last night but had grabbed 13+ in 6of 8 games prior and Atlanta is a bottom 8 rebounding team in the league

🏀Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Over 37.5 points & assists) - Has at least 33 points in 5 of the last 6 and just dished out 14 assists last night vs. Milwaukee. The T'Wolves are the 2nd worst team vs. the PG over the past 20 games

🏀Julius Randle (Over 23.5 points) - He took 31 shots on Monday despite battling foul trouble. The Dallas native had 44 in Big D last April

🏀DeMar DeRozan (Under 28.5 points) - His recent hot stretch may have taken its toll, shooting 11-30 and 6-17 last two games. Has 20, 21, and 17 in three meetings with Detroit this season.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Celtics (-7) @ Hornets, O/U 225 7:00 ET

Bigs vs. Charlotte remained a thing last night with Brooklyn's Andre Drummond going for 20/14 in 24 minutes. The Hornets also gave up 50 real points to Kyrie Irving, so does Jayson Tatum have an encore for his 54-real point performance on Sunday?

Suns @ Heat (-5), O/U 218 7:30 ET

Deandre Ayton is in a nice groove right now, going for21 & 19 last night following up Sunday's 30 point performance. He also logged 38 minutes in a harder-than-expected 102-99 win over Orlando so does that give Bam Adebayo an edge down low? Jimmy Butler (sinus infection) is listed as a GTD.

Hawks @ Bucks (-4.5) O/U 239.5 8:00 ET

Milwaukee plays on 0 days rest tonight, but they did cruise to a 142-115 win over OKC last night. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 39 points in 29 minutes, so we will see what Atlanta counters with in this contest with a 239 betting total.

Lakers (-5) @ Rockets, O/U 234 8:00 ET

Lebron James (knee soreness) sat out Monday's loss to the Spurs and remains questionable tonight. Even without James and Anthony Davis, nobody really stepped up for L.A. with Talen Horton-Tucker leading the team with 18 points.

Knicks @ Mavericks (-9) O/U 215 8:30 ET

Julius Randle took 31 shots in 34 minutes in Monday's win over the Kings en route to a 70 (fp) burger. Of course, that has put his price over the $10k barrier which is somewhat tough to buy against a Dallas team that has won 7 of 8 and allows the 2nd fewest points in the league. Then again, Randle is a Dallas native and this is a homecoming game.

Raptors (-1.5) @ Spurs, O/U 229.5 8:30 ET

Milestone night for Gregg Popovich (potentially) as he can become the NBA's winningest regular season coach with a victory. Dejounte Murray is 5 assists and a rebound shy of three straight triple-doubles, but Toronto has allowed 5 straight opponents to 108 points or less.

Nuggets (-4.5) @ Kings O/U 239.5 10:00 ET

Nikola Jokic (52) and Domantas Sabonis (44) lead the NBA in double-doubles and Jokic was an assist shy of back to back triple doubles when these teams met on Feb 24th and 26th- both Nuggets wins.

Update: Sabonis has a 1-game suspension
