On Wednesday, Nov. 12, there are 12 games to choose from when it comes to NBA player props, allowing us to choose from quite a menu of options.
There are even some players you may not necessarily expect to see pop up on a list like this, and the reasoning is simple: There are several injuries around the NBA, including the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons potentially being without the majority, if not all, of their starting five.
Speaking of those teams, two of the four players on my list below play for them.
Let’s see what their best props are.
NBA Player Props for Tonight (November 12)
All NBA odds used for these player props bets are current as of Wednesday, Nov. 12, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Luka Doncic: 30+ Points (-146) @ Thunder
Leading off my NBA player props today, I’m taking a bit of a hit with the odds, but I’m taking Doncic at 30+ points. For context, his typical over/under is 31.5.
While he doesn’t have the friendliest opponent defensively in the Oklahoma City Thunder, Doncic is just shooting a ton lately. In their win over the Charlotte Hornets, he shot 28 times and made 14 of them. He had 38 points. He’s had 30 or more in three of his last five games, and in one of those games where he fell short, he had 29.
As an underdog to the Thunder, I expect Doncic to have the ball in his hand early and often and keep throwing up shots.

Kon Knueppel: Over 17.5 Points (-107) vs Bucks
Heading into tonight’s matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks, Knueppel will suit up for a Hornets squad that’s missing a lot of players, including Grant Williams, LaMelo Ball, Josh Green, and potentially KJ Simpson, Pat Connaughton, and Colin Sexton.
Even if the latter three play, Knueppel will still get plenty of usage and hit the over on his points.
Over his last five games, he’s had 18 or more in all but one. However, he’s accomplished this feat in each of his previous four games.
He’s playing a bunch of minutes, and I’d even take the over if this somehow got to 18.5 points. This is among my favorite of the best NBA prop bets on this slate.
Lonzo Ball: Over 10.5 Rebounds + Assists (-128) @ Heat
The Cavaliers will be without Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Jaylon Tyson, and potentially Larry Nance Jr.
With all of these players out, Ball will have a chance to play some meaningful minutes, and while I’m not exactly inclined to figure out his scoring (he had zero points across 23 minutes on Nov. 5), he will get some assists and rebounds.
This season, averaging 23.4 minutes per game, he’s averaging 5.1 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game.
Just on those averages alone, we’re up to nine combined.
Now, he should log closer to 30 minutes. This is one of those NBA prop bets where recent history may not indicate it, but the context of who’s in and out will play a significant role.
Jalen Duren: Over 13.5 Rebounds (-107) vs Bulls
For the last of my best NBA player props tonight, I’m looking at Duren’s rebounds.
Averaging 29 minutes per game, Duren is also averaging 12 rebounds. He’s had 14 or more in three of his last five games.
Here, against the Chicago Bulls, Duren won’t have a lot of competition for rebounds on his own team, as Isaiah Stewart and Ausar Thompson are out, and they may be without Tobias Harris and Marcus Sasser.
He’s hit this mark in three of his last five games, and the Pistons are dealing with numerous injuries.
He’ll go over.
