NBA Player Props, Odds & NBA Picks for Friday 11/17

NBA Best Bet Today #1: ⭐James Harden Under 6.5 Assists (-140) at FanDuel

First, we have a Clippers vs. Rockets prediction centered around a player who’s played for teams—James Harden.

Here, we’ll look at his assists line, which rests at 6.5. 

This season, Harden averages just 4.2 assists per game and has yet to have seven assists or more in a game. He missed the first four games of the season, but since then, his high was six, which was his first game, and since then, he has yet to top five. 

He’s been a double-digit assists producer in the past, but that isn’t the case right now. 

Against the Rockets, teams average just 21.9 assists per game, which is the lowest in the NBA. 

So, against a team where the least amount of assists happen per game, coupled with a player who hasn’t topped this line all season, this is an easy roll of the dice for the first of our NBA Picks and Props. 

Betting Pick: James Harden Under 6.5 Assists (-140) at FanDuel

NBA Best Bet Today #2: ⭐Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Under 2.5 Rebounds (-155) at FanDuel

In this Nuggets vs. Pelicans prediction, we’ll look at Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, also known as KCP. 

His rebound line here is at just 2.5, but we’re still taking the under.

KCP averages 1.8 rebounds per game and has only had three or more in four games this season, which included two three-rebound games and one with five. 

The Pelicans rank 17th in offensive rebounds and 13th in defensive rebounds per game. That said, opponents tend to rebound at a high rate against them. 

Still, KCP plays for the Nuggets, who have Nikola Jokic. He’ll make up the majority of those rebounds. 

There’s some precedence for KCP going over this line, but his season average is less than two. 

For the second of our NBA Picks and Props, lean under on KCP’s rebounds. 

Betting Pick: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Under 2.5 Rebounds (-155) at  FanDuel

NBA Best Bet Today #3: ⭐Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 Rebounds (-136) at BetMGM

Speaking of Jokic, we’ll take over his rebound line at 12.5 for the second of our Nuggets vs. Pelicans predictions. 

Jokic is averaging 13.9 rebounds per game, and his betting line for the under on this prop is in the “+” money territory. 

As mentioned, opponents rebound well against the Pelicans, and the Nuggets rank 14th in the NBA in total rebounds per game. 

Jokic has had double-digit rebounds in every game this season and 12 or less in three games.

Expect Jokic to be active on the boards here for this slate's last of our NBA Picks and Props. 

Betting Pick: Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 Rebounds (-136) at BetMGM
