One of the biggest NBA slates over the last few weeks takes place on Wednesday night, with 11 games on the docket. Among those is a crunch clash between the Knicks and 76ers, while the Warriors will meet the Timberwolves in the nightcap on ESPN. Let’s get into my best NBA player prop bets for tonight’s action on the hardwood, while you can also check out our expert NBA picks for all of today’s biggest games.
Vit Krejci (Hawks) Over 8.5 points (-130)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
Vit Krejci has taken advantage of the next-man-up mentality. Jalen Johnson hasn’t played in nearly 2 weeks and during that stretch Krejci has scored at least 9 points in all 5 games while averaging upwards of 9 field-goal attempts. He’s coming off a season-high 15 points last night on 6-of-9 shooting the field in a season-high 34 minutes. There hasn’t been any sign of Johnson returning tonight. Head coach Quin Snyder said, “We hope to have him back soon.” D’Andre Hunter may be back tonight, but Krejci should still be in line for 25+ minutes with his play as of late, and that should be more than enough time for him to go over this number.

Stephon Castle (Spurs) Under 21.5 points+rebounds+assists (-120)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook at time of publishing
It hurts my soul to fade Stephon Castle, as I’m holding a Rookie of the Year ticket at +1000 odds — especially after he is coming off a 23-point game. Still, he’s shooting sub-40% from the field in his rookie year and faces off against a Grizzlies team that ranks in the top 10 in defensive rating and defensive efficiency. Victor Wembanyama has a sky-high points line at 26.5 on major books, while Devin Vassell should get his fair share of shots — likely in the 15-20 range after he broke out of his shooting slump last game.
