NBA Player Props for Monday, November 17
- Mikal Bridges Over 5.5 Assists (-128, DraftKings)
- Ronald Holland Under 17.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-120, bet365)
- Saddiq Bey Over 4.5 Rebounds (+122, FanDuel)
Mikal Bridges Over 5.5 Assists (-128)
Knicks vs Heat, 7:30 p.m. ET
Bridges has taken over as a primary distributor in this new-look Knicks offense under Mike Brown. He's averaging a career-high 4.9 assists on 7.8 potential assists and 50.1 passes per game. Bridges is 2nd on the Knicks in each category. He's well behind Jalen Brunson, but Brunson is out tonight. In this very matchup without Brunson on Friday, Bridges and Josh Hart each made 75+ passes and had 16 potential assists. The conversion rates were vastly different, as Bridges had five dimes while Hart finished with 10. But the massive volume was there.
Hart and Bridges also got a boost from OG Anunoby leaving after just 5 minutes. Anunoby tends to see one of the bigger usage boosts with Brunson off the floor. His absence will open up even more usage for the remaining Knicks.
The Heat are shaping up to be the best matchup in the league for assists. They've allowed the most assists per game on the highest assisted field goal rate. The Heat have played at the fastest pace in the league by a mile. The Knicks shot only 46% from the field last time, but still piled up 32 assists.
Pick: Mikal Bridges Over 5.5 Assists (-128)
Ronald Holland Under 17.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-120)
Pacers vs Pistons, 7 p.m. ET
Holland failed to capitalize on increased opportunities with several key Pistons sidelined. Now Detroit is getting healthy, and Holland could be pushed back into an ancillary role.
Isaiah Stewart returned last game, and Jalen Duren is probable, which means the Pistons should have their two best rebounders available. Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson are questionable. If either suits up, Holland would likely lose minutes and usage.
Saddiq Bey Over 4.5 Rebounds (+122)
Thunder vs Pelicans, 8 p.m. ET
By Chris Prince
There are 3.5 lines available in the market, but those are pretty heavily juiced, and I love the plus odds we are getting on over 4.5 rebounds. Bey has been playing a much bigger role for a Pelicans team that is currently dealing with several injuries.
He has logged at least 29 minutes in 6 straight games, and he has really upped his rebounding with these additional minutes. Bey is averaging 4.8 rebounds per game on the season, and he has increased those numbers lately, as he's pulled down six or more rebounds in five of his last six games.
It's a tough spot against a solid rebounding Thunder team, but getting plus odds on a guy that's been getting it done on the glass is a bet I'm willing to make.
