Best NBA Player Props for Wednesday, November 26th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 5:00 PM ET on Wednesday, November 26th:
- Pascal Siakam Over/Under 27.5 Points + Assists
- Cam Spencer Over/Under 10.5 Points
- Dillon Brooks Over/Under 5.5 Rebounds + Assists
Pascal Siakam OVER 27.5 Points + Assists (-110, BetMGM)
BETMGMAccording to CourtIQ, Siakam is averaging 24.6 points and 4.0 assists per 36 minutes this season with Aaron Nesmith off of the floor. In 5 games with Nesmith unavailable, Siakam has yet to score fewer than 22 points. He’s had 9 potential assists in 4 of those 5 games too.
Tonight, Indiana will play Toronto – a team that has been making more of a concerted effort to push the pace in recent weeks. There should be plenty of possessions for both teams. Siakam is likely to see close to 36 minutes, which should afford him plenty of opportunities to make a positive impact in this matchup.
Cam Spencer OVER 10.5 Points (-110, FanDuel)
FANDUELSpencer appears to be finding his footing in the NBA. In his last 4 games, all with Ja Morant sidelined, Spencer has scored 15, 7, 17, and 18 points. He’s taken at least 10 shot attempts in each of those games, including 5+ shots from beyond the arc in each game.
According to CourtIQ, Spencer is averaging 12.1 points per 24 minutes with Morant off of the floor this season. Tonight, he will get to face a New Orleans defense that has allowed the 3rd-most above-the-break 3-point attempts per game this month and the 8th-highest success rate on such attempts.
Young players on the road can sometimes not show up well, but the opportunities should be there for Spencer.
Dillon Brooks OVER 5.5 Rebounds + Assists (+120, bet365)
BET365In 156 minutes without Grayson Allen, Ryan Dunn, and Jalen Green on the floor this season, Brooks is averaging 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per 36 minutes according to CourtIQ. That being said, he hasn’t yet fully capitalized on his opportunities to date.
In 2 games without those three players active, Brooks posted 10 rebound chances against the Spurs and 9 rebound chances against the Rockets, but he had only 3 rebounds in both of those games. Similarly, he had 3 potential assists in both of those games, indicating at least some level of involvement as a facilitator.
The Kings play at a relatively quick pace. They have also allowed the 5th-most rebounds and 3rd-most assists per game during their last 8 games. This is good value at plus money.
