Picks are opinions, not guarantees. Odds may have moved since publishing.

Wednesday brings a full NBA slate, and my favorite player props come from four games: Philadelphia at Indiana, Denver at New Orleans, Miami at Atlanta and Charlotte at Detroit. The Denver and New Orleans game and the Miami and Atlanta game each supply two picks, with Philadelphia and Charlotte rounding out the card.

Every pick below is ranked by PF Rating, our model's read on how strong a prop looks, and listed with the best price across the books we track. Lines move through the day, so check the number before you bet.

Jaylen Brown Over 13.5 Field Goals Att (-230, Fanatics)

FIELD GOALS ATTPHI@IND· Oct 28, 7:00 PM ET

Jaylen Brown

Over 13.5 Field Goals Att

Jaylen Brown leads the board with a PF Rating of 95 on Over 13.5 field goal attempts against Indiana. Brown has cleared this number in 10 of his last 10 games and is averaging 19.5 attempts over that stretch, well above the line. He is 4 of 4 this season, a small early sample, and 15 of 15 against the Pacers. Indiana ranks 1st of 30 in what it allows to small forwards, meaning no team has given up more to the position. The best price is -230 at Fanatics, so this one is expensive.


Saddiq Bey Over 12.5 Points (+105, Hard Rock)

POINTSDEN@NOP· Oct 28, 8:00 PM ET

Saddiq Bey

Over 12.5 Points

Saddiq Bey carries a PF Rating of 94.5 on Over 12.5 points when New Orleans hosts Denver. Bey has gone over in 10 of his last 10 games and is averaging 18.6 points in that span, giving him real room above the line. He is 3 of 3 this season, a small sample this early, and 3 of 5 against the Nuggets. Denver ranks 1st of 30 in what it allows to small forwards. The best price is +105 at Hard Rock, the only plus-money number on this card.


Nikola Jokic Over 10.5 Two Points Att (-215, Fanatics)

TWO POINTS ATTDEN@NOP· Oct 28, 8:00 PM ET

Nikola Jokic

Over 10.5 Two Points Att

Nikola Jokic posts a PF Rating of 93.5 on Over 10.5 two-point attempts at New Orleans. Jokic has topped this number in 9 of his last 10 games and is averaging 13.2 two-point attempts over that stretch. He is 3 of 3 this season, a small sample, and 8 of 9 against the Pelicans. New Orleans ranks 1st of 30 in what it allows to centers, the most favorable matchup at the position. The best price is -215 at Fanatics.


Bam Adebayo Over 2.5 Assists (-227, Betano)

ASSISTSMIA@ATL· Oct 28, 7:00 PM ET

Bam Adebayo

Over 2.5 Assists

Bam Adebayo also checks in with a PF Rating of 93.5, this time on Over 2.5 assists against Atlanta. Adebayo has cleared the line in 9 of his last 10 games and is averaging 4.4 assists in that span. He is 4 of 4 this season, though that is a small sample, and 9 of 12 against the Hawks. Atlanta ranks 1st of 30 in what it allows to centers. The best price is -227 at Betano.


Sion James Under 8.5 Pts + Reb (-105, Fanatics)

PTS + REBCHA@DET· Oct 28, 7:00 PM ET

Sion James

Under 8.5 Pts + Reb

Sion James also has a PF Rating of 93.5, on Under 8.5 points plus rebounds at Detroit. James has stayed under in 8 of his last 10 games and is averaging 7.1 over that stretch. He is 4 of 4 this season and 2 of 3 against the Pistons, both small samples. Detroit ranks 28th of 30 in what it allows to small forwards, one of the stingier matchups at the position, which suits the Under. The best price is -105 at Fanatics.


Bobby Portis Over 9.5 Points (-152, Bally Bet)

POINTSMIA@ATL· Oct 28, 7:00 PM ET

Bobby Portis

Over 9.5 Points

He is 3 of 4 this season, a small sample, and 8 of 9 against the Hawks. Atlanta ranks 2nd of 30 in what it allows to power forwards. The best price is -152 at Bally Bet.
