NBA Wednesday is back with another massive slate to cypher through player props for. Thirteen games in total, and a few big matchups that I’m personally excited for. The Pacers versus Kings is filled with narratives as Sabonis, Hield, and Haliburton all have revenge on their mind in this one. I’m curious to see how the Timberwolves will look without KAT in the lineup against Memphis, and Giannis in the Garden is always quality TV. Lastly, we have an Eastern Conference staple of Heat vs Celtics. Let’s take a look at my favorite player props for tonight.

Dejounte Murray (ATL) Under 27.5 Points + Rebounds (-122)
Line available on Fanduel Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
The Orlando Magic are BIG. I mean physically imposing and long, which will make it difficult for a guard like Murray to hit his average 5.8 RPG for the month of November. Scoring wise, he’s been quiet lately outside of an explosive 39 vs the Rockets, but…it’s the Rockets. If we take that big performance out of the equation, he’s averaging a pedestrian 15 PPG since mid-November. Murray has been the most efficient around the rim and this Magic frontcourt consists of 6’10 Franz Wagner, 6’10 Paolo Banchero, and 7’2 Bol Bol. Those easy buckets within 10 feet will be contested and will likely push Murray to the perimeter where he’s shooting 35% from 10-16ft and 34% from 3P. 1U from me on Murray for his under.

Bol Bol (ORL) Over 13.5 points (-120)

Bol Bol is averaging 17.5 PPG with Wendell Carter Jr. not in the lineup. This play is very straight forward for me. The lanky Point Center/Forward has gained some notoriety of late as the poor man’s Victory Wembanyama and it’s likely due to his increased court time in Carter’s absence. Bol has not disappointed. The two games that Bol put up single digits while Carter was out, were blowouts. However, when Bol sees 30+min, he’s averaging 17.4PPG. The Hawks are allowing 51 PPG in the paint, which is good for 20th overall. Markelle Fultz is returning tonight which will make headlines, but it shouldn’t cut into Bol’s minutes much. 0.5U
Jayson Tatum (BOS) Over 7.5 Rebounds (-105)
Line available on Fanduel Sportsbook at the time of publishing
The Miami Heat’s injury report continues to be a CVS receipt and their frontcourt is not much to be concerned about if you’re Tatum. The Heat really lack a physical presence in the front court besides Bam Adebayo, who will likely see a lot of Al Horford tonight in the post. Outside of that, the Heat trot out Kyle Lowry, Max Strus, Tyler Herro, and Gabe Vincent, all of which cannot be consistent rebounding options for Miami. Jaylen Brown is questionable and if he isn’t good to go, we’ll see more Derrick White and bump Tatum down into the post. Tatum has hit this line in 11/20 games and landed on 7 in 14/20. I’m hoping the matchup and Brown missing the game will put Tatum over the edge. 1U

Zach LaVine (CHI) Over 2.5 3PM (+102)
Line available on Fanduel Sportsbook at the time of publishing
LaVine hasn’t played that many road games this season (6), but when he does, the 3PT fly. He’s averaging 9 3PTA per game on the road this season and has had 11+ attempts in 4 of those 6 games. The Suns do a good job limiting the amount of 3P attempts for opposing teams (4th fewest), but they are 27th overall in effective 3P% from deep. I was happy to see this line at + odds and feel as though the Bulls can keep this one close, as they are much better than their 9-11 record gives them credit for. They’re up 2-1 on the Celtics this season and 4th overall in adjusted DRTG. Take the +5.5 points tonight as well, as 4 of their 6 road losses have come by 5 points or less. 1U
