We've hit the ground running this NBA season and we're well on our way to a profitable year. But I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch. The group play of the NBA Cup is well underway but we are back to our regularly scheduled programming with a 14-game slate tonight before everyone's off for Thanksgiving.
As always, monitor injury news and lineup announcements. The best way to stay sharp regarding NBA player props is by staying on top of the news. The second-best way is to shop around at different sportsbooks. Player props rarely have identical odds across platforms, so make sure you're getting the best value. Let's get to it.
Unless specified otherwise, each bet will be for a single unit.

Wednesday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
Last Time: 3-0 | Season: 42-27
Donovan Mitchell Over 34.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds (-110 on DraftKings Sportsbook)
Let's start simple here, shall we? If you want a simple NBA betting strategy it's figure out who's playing Atlanta that day and throw a dart on any opponents’ overs. OK, it's a bit more complicated than that but Donovan Mitchell is in a prime spot to succeed tonight.
The Hawks' defense has been quite subpar, ranking in the bottom 10 in the league and allowing the third-most points to opposing shooting guards and fourth-most to point guards. The Cleveland backcourt is set up for success tonight. With a total of around 239 points, this is an easy spot to buy Mitchell stock, playing at home, nonetheless.
Jalen Williams Under 36.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds (-115 on FanDuel Sportsbook)
Despite what some may think, the Warriors' defense has been pretty elite this season, ranking fourth-best in the league. Jalen Williams has been on a bit of a heater recently but I can't imagine it will stay sustainable, as he's averaged 22 points on the season instead of the 29 he averaged last week.
Yes, without Chet Holmgren in the lineup, Williams is seeing higher usage but his minutes have stayed the same and he's still averaging 26/6/5 in the last two weeks. Against a sturdy defense on the road where he's due for some regression, I feel comfortable riding the under here for Wiliams' combined prop line.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Over 12.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds (-130 BetMGM)
When in doubt, trust the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet. It is the holy grail for all your betting needs and is a big reason why I have been so profitable this season and last. It projects Kentavious Caldwell-Pope closer to 16 on this combo prop, and with good reason.
The only team faster-paced than Atlanta is Chicago, so Caldwell-Pope will see ample opportunity across his expected 30 minutes tonight. He's currently averaging 7/2/2 and this prop is deflated a bit from his poor performance a few nights ago. But at home, his numbers are better. Orlando not only goes against the fastest team in the league but also a bottom-five defense. This is an easy smash spot for Caldwell-Pope.
Additional Bets to Consider
- Jalen Brunson Over 26.5 Points + Rebounds (-125 ESPN Bet)
- Brandon Miller Under 29.5 Points + Rebounds (-125 ESPN Bet)
- Jaden Ivey Under 21.5 Points (-120 BetMGM)
