There are some big names who are already ruled out on the NBA injury report, including Jalen Brunson, Bam Adebayo, Paolo Banchero, and Joel Embiid. Their absences open up a lot of usage for their teammates, which consequently has the potential to create some value on the player prop market.

Best NBA Player Props for Friday, November 14th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on Friday, November 14th:
- OG Anunoby Over/Under 4.5 Rebounds
- Jimmy Butler Over/Under 5.5 Rebounds
- Stephen Curry Over/Under 4.5 3-Pointers Made
OG Anunoby OVER 4.5 Rebounds (-135, bet365)
BET365Jalen Brunson has been ruled out. According to our CourtIQ tool, Anunoby has averaged 6.9 rebounds per 36 minutes this season with Brunson off of the court. Last season, Anunoby averaged 5.4 rebounds per 36 minutes with Brunson off of the floor.
In 16 games with Brunson unavailable last season, Anunoby went over this number in 11 games. In his final 4 games without Brunson, Anunoby had 9+ rebound chances in each game. This is good value against a Miami team that isn’t particularly strong on the glass.
Jimmy Butler OVER 5.5 Rebounds (+103, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSThis season, Butler is averaging only 5.3 rebounds on 9.9 rebound chances per game. However, it wouldn’t be surprising to see his rebounding numbers increase with Will Richard moving into the starting lineup.
On Wednesday, Butler had a team-high 6 rebounds and 10 rebound chances against the Spurs. Jonathan Kuminga is listed as questionable for this game, which could potentially open up some additional opportunities on the glass as well.
Stephen Curry UNDER 4.5 3-Pointers Made (-108, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSCurry scored 46 points against the Spurs on Wednesday, but one would have to imagine that they will have a better game plan for him in the rematch – especially considering it’s an NBA Cup game. The Spurs haven’t been a super-favorable matchup for 3-pointers this season. They are a little bit worse than the league average in percentage allowed on above-the-break attempts, but they have allowed the 10th-fewest such shots per game.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Spurs send extra defensive attention towards Curry, either forcing the ball out of his hands or running him off of the 3-point line. The under could have some value here.
