NBA Player Props Today – Friday, November 15, 2024
- Joel Embiid Over/Under 36.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
- Pascal Siakam Over/Under 21.5 Points
- Evan Mobley Over/Under 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Joel Embiid UNDER 36.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120, DraftKings)
In his first action of the season on Tuesday against the Knicks, Embiid finished with 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists in 26 minutes of action. Notably, Embiid asked to be substituted out less than 5 minutes into the 1st quarter, which seems to be a clear sign of poor conditioning. He was also being sent down to the other end of the floor when Philadelphia was shooting free throws, which allowed him to avoid sprinting on those possessions – seemingly another sign that Embiid is not in great shape. Tonight, Embiid draws a tough matchup against an Orlando team that leads the NBA in defensive rating in 8 games since Paolo Banchero last played. Bally Sportsbook is offering Embiid alt unders down to 32.5 (+170) for anyone who wants an additional fun sprinkle.
Pascal Siakam UNDER 21.5 Points (-129, Caesars)
Siakam scored 25 points on Wednesday against Orlando, but he only took 11 shots. In 6 games in November, Siakam is averaging only 13.8 field goal attempts, but he’s managed to average 20.3 points per game due an efficient 56.6% shooting from the floor, including 48.3% from 3-point territory. The larger question is how long Siakam can continue this run of efficiency, given that he’s a 33.4% shooter in his career from beyond the arc. Miami ranks 5th in defensive rating in 2 games since Jimmy Butler last played. They have been particularly tough on opposing forwards in that small sample size. This could be a good under spot for Siakam in a tough matchup.
Evan Mobley OVER 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120, DraftKings)
Mobley finally had a “bad” game this past Wednesday, scoring only 14 points and grabbing 7 rebounds against Philadelphia. It was the first time this season that Mobley had taken fewer than 10 shots or totaled fewer than 25 PRA in a game. Tonight, he gets a matchup against a Chicago team that ranks 24th in defensive rating across their last 8 games. Mobley totaled 28 PRA against these same Bulls earlier this week in only 31 minutes, but he could conceivably see a slightly larger workload this evening, given the stakes of the NBA Cup.
