    NBA Opening Night prop picks: Kevin Durant featured in three best bets from Lakers-Nuggets, Suns-Warriors

    NBA prop expert Mike Barner shares his top three plays for the first night of NBA action for the 2023-24 season.

    After a summer in which plenty of big names changed teams, the NBA returns Tuesday. Things start off with just a two-game slate, but the two matchups are about as good as it gets. The first game will feature the defending champion Denver Nuggets hosting the Los Angeles Lakers. The second game will be the Golden State Warriors hosting the Phoenix Suns.

    Although it's just the first night of the season, injuries will play a prominent role. Draymond Green (ankle) has been ruled out, robbing the Warriors of their defensive anchor. Bradley Beal (back) is unlikely to play for the Suns, while they have also listed Devin Booker (toe) as questionable. Based on reports early Tuesday morning, it sounds like Booker will test out his injury before the game and try to play.

    Now that we have the disappointing injuries out of the way, it's time to dig into the betting market. While we don't have a ton of player props available with there only being two games, here are some that stand out as exciting options, including one involving Suns star Kevin Durant.

    What are the top NBA prop picks for Tuesday? And which player should benefit from Draymond Green's absence? ... Join SportsLine now to see Mike Barner's top prop picks for Opening Night!
