NBA Player Prop Bets | Wednesday, Dec. 14
DeMar DeRozan Over 26.5 Points
DeRozan is in the midst of a modest three-game hot streak. A stretch in which he’s averaging 29.7 points on 54.5% shooting. He’s also getting to the line, with 30 attempts over that span.
The streaking Knicks do feature the league’s second best field-goal percentage defense, but they allow the fourth most shot attempts and commit the fourth most fouls. It might not be the smoothest trip to 27 points, but DeRozan has a path to the Over.
Zach LaVine Over 4.5 Rebounds
LaVine has been active on the glass of late, pulling down 5.3 boards over his last 11 games. He recorded five or more rebounds in eight games over that span overall.
The pace of this game should be reasonably brisk with a high volume of shot attempts. New York doesn’t shoot well, especially from three-point range. Each of their five most voluminous three-point shooters convert at a sub-34% clip on 24 combined attempts. Find the best Over number at the industry’s top NBA betting sites.
Keldon Johnson Over 22.5 Points
Johnson is averaging a healthy 25.3 points per game over his last four, a stretch in which the Spurs are 3-1. He’s not particularly efficient from the field (40.3%), but he’s been better in that department in recent contests.
If Johnson’s efficiency eludes him tonight, he should still have enough volume to notch an Over. Jakob Poetl and Zach Collins will sit tonight, vacating roughly 16 shot attempts, some of which stand to be assumed by Johnson.
Evan Mobley Over 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Mobley hit 27 in this category via points and rebounds alone in five of nine. He also dished out at least three assists in six of those contests. Mobley is scoring and rebounding at high enough of a clip to be confident in an Over. And his recent success dishing the rock offers a bit more insurance for those making the bet.
