3 Best NBA Player Props Tonight
1. Anthony Davis Over 27.5 Points
Davis missed Wednesday’s loss at Memphis due to plantar fasciitis but he is listed as probable for the Lakers’ home game against Philadelphia. Los Angeles just went 1-4 on a brutal road trip and it will be a motivated bunch back home against the struggling Sixers.
We all know Davis has been superb so far. He leads the NBA in scoring (32.6) while shooting 57% from the floor. A visit from Philadelphia should allow him to put up some really gaudy numbers.
Anthony Davis this season:
36 PTS, 16 REB, 4 AST
35 PTS, 8 REB, 4 AST
31 PTS, 9 REB, 2 AST
29 PTS, 15 REB, 3 AST
22 PTS, 13 REB, 2 AST
38 PTS, 11 REB, 2 AST
37 PTS, 9 REB, 4 AST pic.twitter.com/fVyjWzUsCd— Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) November 5, 2024
The Sixers are the only team in the league allowing opponents to make more than half their shots (50.8%). Much of that damage is done inside, as an Embiid-less roster that ranks 27th in the NBA in blocks per game struggles to stop opponents.
Philadelphia foes are making 72.1% of their shots in the restricted area and 48.5% in the paint – both 3rd-highest in the league. Davis, who is second in the NBA in made shots in both of those zones, will feast.
Anthony Davis going over his point total is one of the best NBA player props tonight.

2. Klay Thompson Over 3.5 3-pointers
We nailed a Klay Thompson under last week when he was in a downturn. Now we’re seeing him heat back up in advance of a favorable matchup with the Phoenix Suns at home.
Thompson is 7-for-15 from long range over his last two games. He is living in that right corner of the floor with some of the better distributors in the game finding him for open looks. The future Hall of Famer is 6-for-8 in that corner and has seven corner 3’s overall, a zone where the Suns allow plenty of opportunities; they are 29th in opponents percentage in that area (47.5).

Klay buried 5 of 12 triples (2-for-2 in the corner) at Phoenix earlier in the season in a 19-point effort. The Las Vegas odds have his over/under on trifectas at 3.5, and we like him to sail past that figure. Bet the over at BetUS Sportsbook.
Bet on Klay Thompson Over 3.5 3-pointers (+120)
3. Jrue Holiday Under 14.5 Points
The Celtics host the Nets tonight as they try to bounce back from a loss to Golden State on Wednesday. They’ll be without Jaylen Brown again but should have more than enough to get past Brooklyn.
One number that caught our eye was Jrue Holiday’s points over/under of 14.5. He’s gone over that figure just three of nine times this season, averaging 12.2 overall after a 12.5 effort last season. By those numbers alone the under seems like a solid NBA prediction. It gets even better when you add in the fact that he was below 14.5 in three of four against the Nets last season.
This is also the biggest game spread on the docket and with a matchup like this, there’s always that chance that the Celtics run it up early and pull their starters. It’s not a guarantee but it’s a possibility, and with that comes the chance that a guy like Holiday plays 20-something minutes.
Bet on Jrue Holiday Under 14.5 Points (-124)

Questions of the Day
Is there a solid game market bet online to make?
Two of the top three scoring teams in the league are meeting in Cleveland, where the Cavaliers host the Warriors. The over/under of 231 is not even the highest on the board and 13 points below the combined averages of these two squads. Might be a fun bet to root for both sides to run it up
