Picks are opinions, not guarantees. Odds may have moved since publishing.
Saturday brings a full NBA slate as the new season settles in, and I went through the board looking for the player props that stand out most. Today's picks come from four games: Washington at Chicago, Golden State at Phoenix, Houston at Atlanta and San Antonio at Dallas.
The picks are ranked by PF Rating, our model's score for each prop, and listed from highest to lowest. It is early in the season, so several of these lean on very small samples, and I flag that where it matters. Lines move, so check the price before you bet.
Caleb Wilson Over 2.5 Blocks + Steals (+130, DraftKings)
Caleb Wilson
Over 2.5 Blocks + Steals
Caleb Wilson tops the board with a PF Rating of 98 on Over 2.5 blocks plus steals. Wilson has cleared this line in 2 of his last 2 games, which is also his full season so far, and he is averaging 3.5 combined blocks and steals over that stretch. That is a very small sample, so treat the hit rate with caution. Washington ranks 1st of 30 against power forwards, a matchup our model grades in his favor, and the plus-money price adds appeal.
Yaxel Lendeborg Under 0.5 Blocks (-108, Betano)
Yaxel Lendeborg
Under 0.5 Blocks
Yaxel Lendeborg carries a PF Rating of 97 on Under 0.5 blocks against Phoenix. He has stayed under this line in 2 of his last 2 games, matching his season so far, and his recent average is 0.0 blocks. Two games is a tiny sample, so this rests more on the rating than on a long track record. Phoenix ranks 24th of 30 against small forwards, a matchup our model grades as favorable for the Under.
Khaman Maluach Under 1.5 Free Throws Att (-114, Betano)
Khaman Maluach
Under 1.5 Free Throws Att
Khaman Maluach also earns a PF Rating of 97, here on Under 1.5 free throw attempts against Golden State. Maluach has stayed under in 10 of his last 10 games and is averaging 0.0 free throw attempts over that span. This season he is 1 of 1 under the line, including 1 of 1 against the Warriors, a one-game sample. Golden State ranks 24th of 30 against centers, which our model grades in favor of the Under.
Kevin Durant Over 30.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-190, Fanatics)
Kevin Durant
Over 30.5 Pts + Reb + Ast
Kevin Durant brings a PF Rating of 92.9 on Over 30.5 points, rebounds and assists in Atlanta. Durant has cleared this number in 10 of his last 10 games and is averaging 38.1 over that stretch, well above the line. He is 2 of 2 this season and 5 of 6 against the Hawks. Atlanta ranks 3rd of 30 against power forwards, a matchup our model grades in his favor. The price is steep, which reflects how strong the recent form has been.
Kyrie Irving Under 3.5 Free Throws Att (-143, Betano)
Kyrie Irving
Under 3.5 Free Throws Att
Kyrie Irving has a PF Rating of 92.3 on Under 3.5 free throw attempts against San Antonio. Irving has stayed under in 7 of his last 7 games, a shorter sample than usual, and is averaging 1.6 attempts over that run. He is 2 of 2 under this season and 5 of 5 against the Spurs. San Antonio ranks 30th of 30 against shooting guards, a matchup our model grades as favorable for the Under.
Amen Thompson Over 11.5 Field Goals Att (-160, Fanatics)
Amen Thompson
Over 11.5 Field Goals Att
Amen Thompson rounds out the list with a PF Rating of 91.9 on Over 11.5 field goal attempts in Atlanta. Thompson has cleared this line in 9 of his last 10 games, averaging 14.9 attempts, and he is 2 of 2 this season. The caution flag is his history against the Hawks, where he is 0 of 5 over this number. Atlanta ranks 3rd of 30 against small forwards, which our model still grades in his favor.
