Best NBA Player Props: New York Knicks vs. Charlotte Hornets (6:00 PM EST)

Julius Randle Rebounds Over 9.5 (+100)

Julius Randle, an All-Star forward for the New York Knicks, may have gotten off to a difficult start to the season on the offensive end. But when it comes to effort and rebounding, Randle is a constant. When he faces the hard-nosed Charlotte Hornets, Randle’s rebounding will be more critical than ever.

On the season, Randle is averaging 19.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.2 offensive rebounds, and 5.4 assists on 37.1% from the field and 27.6% from three-point range. He is second on the team in rebounds per game to Mitchell Robinson but still posts a total rebound percentage of 16.0% - third on the Knicks.

Randle has cleared 9.5 rebounds in eight of his 12 games this season but has done so just once in his last four games. He’ll face a Charlotte Hornets team that is 10th in the NBA in rebounding (45.2 per game) and 11th in rebounds allowed (42.6). Count on Randle to hit the over, as he thrives against teams that challenge him on the glass.

Best NBA Player Props: Dallas Mavericks vs. Milwaukee Bucks (7:30 PM EST)

Grant Williams Rebounds Over 3.5 (+100)

The Dallas Mavericks continue to impress through the regular season, reaching second in the Western Conference with a 9-3 record. Aiding them in that process is forward Grant Williams, who joined from the Boston Celtics this offseason to add a premiere three-and-D threat - an investment that’s paid off.

In 12 games, Williams is averaging 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.8 offensive rebounds, and 2.7 threes per game on 47.4% from the field and 49.2% from three-point range. Williams isn’t a prolific rebounder, but his matchup and toughness will be vital to the Mavericks’ success. He’s cleared 3.5 rebounds in five of his 12 matches.

Key to consider is Williams’ historical performance against the Bucks. A familiar defensive matchup with Antetokounmpo, Williams averaged 9.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in three matches against the Bucks last season. Expect the same tenacity on Saturday night.

Best NBA Player Props: Memphis Grizzlies vs. San Antonio Spurs (8:30 PM EST)

Victor Wembanyama Rebounds Over 9.5 (+100)

San Antonio Spurs (3-9) rookie star Victor Wembanyama has made an excellent individual impact through the early-season schedule, even if that hasn’t resulted in victories for his team. The Spurs now face a team struggling similarly to the Memphis Grizzlies, who haven’t found the mark this season without Ja Morant and other vital contributors available.

Through 12 games, Wembanyama has averaged 19.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.0 offensive rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game on 43.6% from the field and 27.9% from three-point range. He’s led the Spurs in rebounds per game this season and is third in total rebounding percentage at 17.4%. Wembanyama has cleared 9.5 rebounds in five of his 12 games this season.

The Spurs and Grizzlies see this matchup as an opportunity to get on the winning track, and Wembanyama’s rebounding ability will make or break his team’s efforts. Considering both teams are in the bottom third of the league in rebounds per game, expect Wembanyama to be responsible for most of San Antonio’s efforts on the glass.

What is an NBA Player Prop?

A Player Prop in NBA betting focuses on individual player performance rather than the game outcome. It involves wagering on specific player actions, like points scored or rebounds, with bookmakers setting benchmarks. For instance, a Kevin Durant prop bet might predict if he'll score over/under 25.5 points in a game. These bets provide an extra layer of excitement, allowing bettors to concentrate on specific players within the broader game context.
