NBA Player Props for Monday, Nov. 6

The highest point total on the board on Monday is a three-way tie between Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid, Golden State’s Steph Curry, and Denver’s Nikola Jokic, the early favorite in the NBA MVP odds. All three players are listed with an O/U of 28.5 points. Embiid and Curry are -115 to go over, slightly shorter than Jokic at -110.

Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton has the highest assist total at 11.5, two full assists higher than any other player on the board (Jokic and OKC’s Josh Giddey are both at 9.5).  Laker center Anthony Davis leads the rebound totals at 12.5.

NBA Player-Prop Pick #1: Victor Wembanyama Under 20.5 Points

The heavy favorite in the NBA Rookie of the Year odds, Victor Wembanyama is averaging exactly 20.5 points six games into his NBA career. But that’s largely thanks to one 38-point outburst against the Suns last week. The 7’4 Frenchman has only gone over 20.5 points in one other game, and he needed four points in OT to get to 21 during a 126-122 win over Houston.

Working in Wemby’s favor is Indiana’s breakneck pace and suspect defense; Indiana gave up an up Eastern Conference-worst 119.5 PPG last year, and have somehow been worse this year (123.5 PPG). But Indiana does have an elite front-court defender in the form of Myles Turner, and the Spurs have other capable scorers. Keldon Johnson (17.0 PPG) had a team-high 26 in Sunday’s OT loss to the Raptors, and Devin Vassell (19.4 PPG) might be returning from a hamstring strain that held him out of the Toronto game.

It’s a small sample size, to be sure, but that early stats say the better value is on Wembanyama staying under 21 points.

Pick: Wembanyama under 20.5 points (-115) 

NBA Player-Prop Pick #2: Anthony Davis Under 12.5 Rebounds

AD is averaging a league-best 13.0 rebounds per game and has had some monster performances already this year, including a 19-rebound game against Orlando and a 16-rebound game against Sacramento. But the Lakers are in the midst of four road games in eight days, and that will, in all likelihood, lead coach Darvin Ham to take a measured approach with his stars’ minutes. Davis only played 32 minutes in Saturday’s game against the Magic, and though he still managed 13 rebounds, he’s facing a better rebounding team tonight.

Miami has only allowed an opponent to go over 12.5 rebounds in two games this season, and in both those games Miami was uncharacteristically bad from the field (shooting under 41% compared to their season average of 45.3%).  As a team, the Heat sit eighth in the NBA in Adjusted Rebound Chance %, and Davis has yet to face a team that ranks in the top 10 this year.

There isn’t much head-to-head history to go on: AD didn’t suit up at all against Miami last year, and only faced the Heat once the year prior. In that 120-117 (OT) Lakers win, Davis finished with 13 boards, but only had 11 in regulation time. Miami should have its full complement of frontcourt players in the lineup tonight, including Bam Adebayo and Kevin Love, and that should lead to Davis staying under 12.5 boards.

Pick: Anthony Davis under 12.5 points (-115)
