Best NBA Player Props for Saturday, November 5
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 27.5 Points (-122) (Bet $100 to Collect $181) Click here for the best odds, available at FanDuel
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 32.3 points per game this season. But because the Thunder are taking on the Bucks, that points total has dropped slightly.
The Bucks are the best defense in the NBA. They're also 8-0 on the season. But someone's got to score for the Thunder.
Gilgeous-Alexander has only missed 28 points one time this season and has scored at least 34 points in his last three games for the Thunder.
In those last three games, he's been getting to the foul line at a high rate. He's also capitalized on those foul-shot attempts. He shot 71.4% from the field in November and continues to impress around the rim.
Michael Porter Jr. Over 2.5 Threes (-128) (Bet $100 to Collect $178) Click here for the best odds, available at FanDuel
Michael Porter Jr. has been limited due to rehabbing from injury. But even in about 30 minutes a night, he's hit three threes in his last six games. Porter Jr. only missed this prop one time, and that was in his first game back from injury in over a year.
Porter is shooting about 50% from deep and attempting over seven threes per game. As long as he's making 50% from downtown and taking more than six threes, we'll be on the right side of this bet.
Back Porter to nail three threes against the Spurs.
Franz Wagner Under 1.5 Threes (-164) (Bet $100 to Collect $164) Click here for the best odds, available at FanDuel
Franz Wagner was never an elite three-point shooter. But he's shooting 21.6% from downtown to begin the year. Although he's averaging 4.1 threes per game, that volume decreased in Orlando's last game.
Instead, Wagner took just one three against the Warriors despite playing on the court for 37 minutes.
Wagner's three-point volume will shrink with how he's bricking those shots. Back the under.
