Thursday’s NBA slate features only 4 games, but there are no shortage of injuries to report. Kawhi Leonard, Paolo Banchero, Trae Young, Victor Wembanyama, and Giannis Antetokounmpo have already been ruled out with various ailments. As of this writing, Kristaps Porzingis and Zaccharie Risacher are listed as questionable.

As always, be sure to keep an eye on the NBA injury report ahead of tip-off. When teams are missing high-usage stars, it often creates market inefficiencies on player props, which bettors can exploit if they have the right tools at their disposal, such as RotoGrinders CourtIQ.

Below, you can find three of my favorite picks for Thursday, November 20th!

Tristan da Silva OVER 4.5 Rebounds (+110, DraftKings)

He only had 4 rebounds on Tuesday against the Warriors, but da Silva once again had 9 rebound chances. In 3 games without Paolo Banchero this season, da Silva has posted 9 rebounds on 12 rebound chances, 6 rebounds on 14 rebound chances, and 4 rebounds on 9 rebound chances.

This evening, he gets a good matchup against the Clippers – a team that has recently allowed 7 boards to Paul George and 13 rebounds to Jaylen Brown. We should once again see da Silva with plenty of opportunities on the glass.

Tristan da Silva OVER 12.5 Points (-102, FanDuel)

He has also seen his scoring opportunities increase significantly with Paolo Banchero unavailable this year. In 3 such games, da Silva has scored 22 points on 14 field goal attempts, 13 points on 10 field goal attempts, and 15 points on 13 field goal attempts. Assuming da Silva sees double-digit shot attempts again this evening, there is value on the over against a Clippers team that is 24th in defensive rating through their first 14 games.

Dyson Daniels OVER 11.5 Points (-113, DraftKings)

Daniels hasn’t been putting up a ton of points lately, with 12 points or fewer in 7 consecutive games. That being said, he could have opportunities to score this evening against a San Antonio defense that is missing its top defender.

Daniels attempts the vast majority of his shots near the rim. In a limited sample since Wembanyama last played, the Spurs have allowed the 9th-highest opponent field goal% on shots in the paint. It wouldn’t be overly surprising to see Daniels end up with double-digit shot attempts on Thursday.
