NBA Player Prop Bets, Picks & Predictions: Wednesday (11/13)
We've hit the ground running this NBA season and we're well on our way to a profitable year, but I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch. The group play of the NBA Cup kicked off last night but we're back to regular programming this evening. As always, monitor injury news and lineup announcements. The best way to stay sharp regarding NBA player props is by staying on top of the news. The second best way is to shop around at different books. Player props rarely have identical odds across platforms so make sure you're getting the best value. It's a big slate today so we have plenty of options for player props, let's get to it.
Unless specified otherwise, each bet will be a single unit.

Wednesday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
Last Time: 4-2 | Season: 25-18 | Odds courtesy of BetMGM
Myles Turner Under 28.5 Pts + Ast + Reb (-120)
After playing 39 minutes on Sunday against the New York Knicks and tallying 26 points with six boards and an assist, Myles Turner’s PRA has inflated too high for his game vs. Orlando today. Against the Knicks, Turner made five threes which is three more than his average this year which is more than his seasonal and career averages. His scoring will drop. Orlando has the second-ranked defense in the league and slightly pace down the Pacers. Yes, Wendall Carter Jr. and Paolo Banchero will miss tonight's game but I still expect this defense to hold and the Magic have allowed the third-fewest PRA to opposing centers so far this year. It will be tempting to take the Overs but avoid temptation on this one.
Brandon Boston Jr. Over 3.5 Assists (-135)
I know this is a juiced prop so feel free to find some alts here as they drop throughout the day. This line has been set at 2.5 since he's been thrown into the starting rotation and he's coming off a game on Monday where he got into the double-digits in assists. I know that it's going against an Oklahoma City team that boasts a top-tier defense and are 14.5-point favorites but the opportunity will be there with him seeing the floor for over 35 minutes. As @DK_DFS pointed out on X, he had 15 different assists last game so if anyone can make shots he should easily cover this line without much of a thought. I'd tease it up to over 5.5 if you'd like but I’m going to play the listed line.
Ivica Zubac Under 17.5 Pts + Ast (-130)
Finally, we're going with the Unders on the Los Angeles Clippers big man. I simply trust projections here where the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat sheet projects this combo prop closer to 13 and it makes sense. Houston's defense is third in the league that being the season and Houston and LA both rank in the bottom half of the league. Zubac is averaging around 17 points this year but he's only gone over that number once in his last six games and he isn't exactly an assist machine, getting a goose egg in that category Monday night. Trust the Sheet here, and all will be well.
Other Props:
Bilal Coulibaly Under 19.5 Pts + Ast + Reb (-120)
Victor Wembanyama Over 40.5 Pts + Ast + Reb (-110)
Jabari Smith Jr. Over 16.5 Pts + Reb (-110 on DraftKings)
