Player Prop Bets

Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs: Over 2.5 Made Threes (-115)

Victor Wembanyama has been on a hot streak, improving significantly from beyond the arc. After struggling in October with just 23.5% accuracy from deep, he’s bounced back in November, shooting an impressive 38.5%.

  • Performance Trend: Wembanyama has exceeded the 2.5 three-point mark in each of his last four games.
  • Confidence Boost: Over his last three games, he’s attempted at least 12 shots from downtown per game, showcasing his growing confidence.
  • Matchup Insight: Against the Dallas Mavericks, who boast strong rim protection with Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II, Wembanyama will likely exploit space on the perimeter, making this prop an enticing play.

Even if his shooting efficiency dips, the volume of attempts ensures a strong chance of hitting the over.


Cam Reddish, Los Angeles Lakers: Over 4.5 Points (-135)

Cam Reddish, a key role player for the Lakers, has a favorable opportunity against a depleted New Orleans Pelicans squad missing six regular rotation players.

  • Usage Trend: Reddish has carved out a consistent role in November, averaging 23 minutes per game.
  • Matchup Advantage: The Pelicans rank 27th in defensive rating and are among the league’s worst in opponent three-point shooting, allowing ample scoring opportunities.
  • Recent Form: While Reddish has hit this over in two of his last five games, both occurred in blowouts. A similar scenario could unfold tonight.

Shooting 55.6% from three-point range in November, Reddish is well-positioned to surpass his season averages against a shorthanded opponent.

Final Thoughts

Saturday’s slate offers plenty of excitement for fans and bettors alike. Key players like Wembanyama and Reddish present strong value in player props, supported by recent trends and favorable matchups.
