NBA Player Props Today – Monday, November 18, 2024

Patrick Williams OVER 3.5 Rebounds (-145, Bet365)

Patrick Williams only had 1 rebound this past Sunday against the Rockets, but it’s worth noting that he only played 16 minutes due to the Bulls getting blown out by 36 points. Prior to that, Williams hadn’t played fewer than 25 minutes in a game since opening night. In games where Williams has played 25+ minutes this season, he’s 7-for-10 to the over at this market number. Importantly, he’s had at least 6 rebound chances in 9 of those games, including 10+ rebound chances in 4 contests. This is a great buy-low spot for Williams.

Coby White OVER 18.5 Points (-125, Bet365)

Similar to many other Chicago starters, Coby White is coming off arguably his worst game of the season. He scored only 8 points this past Sunday against Houston, but he only played 25 minutes in a blowout game script. Prior to Sunday, White had played at least 30 minutes in all but one game this season – the exception being another blowout loss. White has scored 20+ points in 8 of 10 games this season when playing 30+ minutes, with one of those misses being an 18-point performance on the road against the Hawks. He could be in for a bounce-back showing this evening.

Fred VanVleet OVER 14.5 Points (-125, Bet365)

Fred VanVleet enters play on Monday having scored 15+ points in 3 consecutive contests. Following a slow start to the season, VanVleet is averaging 16.3 points per game during November on 46.3% shooting. Improved efficiency from the floor has helped him return to levels of production that we have been accustomed to seeing from him in recent seasons. He gets a favorable matchup tonight against a Milwaukee defense that struggles to defend the perimeter. VanVleet is well-positioned to stay hot.
