NBA Player Props Today – Wednesday, November 27, 2024

Buddy Hield OVER 14.5 Points (-105, FanDuel)

Oklahoma City is a nightmare matchup for opposing guards, but this market number is simply too low for Hield with Stephen Curry ruled out. In 3 games with Curry inactive this season, Hield has scored 28 points, 21 points, and 27 points. More importantly from a betting perspective, Hield attempted 14+ shots and played at least 29 minutes in each of those games. According to our CourtIQ tool, Hield is averaging 20.1 points per 30 minutes with Curry off of the floor. Even if Hield has an inefficient night shooting the basketball, he could get to 15 points on volume alone.

James Harden OVER 8.5 Assists (-122, FanDuel)

Harden hasn’t had double-digit assists in any of his last 4 games, but part of that is attributable to the fact that he’s been playing without Norman Powell, who has been recovering from an injury. Powell appears likely to play tonight, which could be a significant boon to Harden’s assist numbers. Washington has allowed the 8th-most assists per game to guards this season, making this a good matchup for Harden as the team’s primary facilitator. Josh Giddey and Tyrese Haliburton have both posted 8+ assists against Washington in the last 4 days alone. Harden is well-positioned to flirt with a double-double this evening.

LeBron James OVER 39.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110, DraftKings)

Though playing on the second night of a back-to-back set is logically a tough spot for an older player, LeBron has not seemed to be negatively impacted by the quick turnaround early this season. On October 26th, he posted 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists against the Kings, one night after playing 35 minutes against the Suns. On November 16th, LeBron posted 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists in 37 minutes against the Pelicans, one night after playing 38 minutes against the Spurs. This evening, he gets a favorable matchup against a San Antonio team that has allowed the most rebounds per game and the 6th-most assists per game to forwards across their last 8 games. The Spurs have also allowed the most field goal attempts per game to forwards of any team in the NBA during that stretch. LeBron could be in for a strong showing tonight.
