Friday's NBA slate features nine games, headlined by the San Antonio Spurs aiming to extend their 10-game winning streak against the Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry will sit out, but Victor Wembanyama will play for San Antonio. Betting analysts have identified three top player prop bets for the night, drawing on the SportsLine Projection Model which simulates each game 10,000 times.
James Harden Over 24.5 Points + Assists (-107)
Harden has struggled shooting 39% from the field early in the season, averaging 16.7 points and 5.6 assists per game. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be without Evan Mobley against the Miami Heat, increasing Harden's usage. He recently scored 32 points against the New York Knicks, and the SportsLine model projects him for 28.4 combined points and assists on Friday.
Victor Wembanyama Over 11.5 Rebounds (-135)
Despite the Warriors ranking among the league's best at limiting opponent rebounds, Wembanyama has averaged 11.7 rebounds per game this season. He has cleared this line twice in his last six games, with two unders at exactly 11 rebounds. The projection model forecasts 12.1 rebounds for the Spurs center.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points (-108)
The Oklahoma City Thunder star, a two-time reigning MVP, averages 29.7 points per game but has cooled after dropping 85 points over two games against Cleveland to start November. Facing a Los Angeles Clippers defense ranked 24th in defensive rating, Gilgeous-Alexander is projected for 34.7 points by the SportsLine model.
