The NBA scheduling to start the season has been a disaster. We have just 4 games today, while Sunday’s slate has 11 games. Nonetheless, we’ll be locked in on both days and keying in on the player prop markets.

While you’re sweating your college football bets, I’ll make sure to make my favorite NBA play as sweat-free as possible. Let’s dive into our top NBA player prop bet for the regular-season games on Saturday, November 11. You can also read our NBA predictions for each of tonight’s matchups.

Markelle Fultz (Magic) Under 22.5 points + rebounds + assists (-122)

Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Markelle Fultz as a player. After his peculiar time in Philadelphia, he’s retooled himself into being a more than serviceable guard for the Orlando Magic. But there are a lot of mouths to feed in that offense. The Magic features a frontcourt in fellow #1 overall pick Paolo Banchero, who continues to showcase his offensive ability with 3 games of at least 20 points, and Franz Wagner, who is averaging 18 points per game. The frontcourt is where it gets clustered. Fellow guards Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony all have a higher usage rate this season than Fultz and have shown they are able to get their own shot.

I’ll gladly fade Fultz tonight, even against the Milwaukee Bucks, who are slumping defensively. He’s appeared in just 5 games this season due to a knee injury that held him out for over a week, and missed 3 games. He came back last Thursday against the Hawks in Mexico City and was solid, but it wasn’t enough for him to clear this line. He scored 13 points on 5 of 12 from the field, recorded just 1 rebound and dished out 3 assists. That made it the 4th time in 5 games that he had stayed under this line. Look for the names above to dominate the ball for Orlando against a Bucks team that has the potential to turn it around defensively.
