There’s no better way to spend a Saturday than enjoying some NBA hoops, and with seven games on the pro schedule tonight, there is no shortage of options when it comes to NBA player props, and I’ve found my three favorites for tonight’s action.
Which Minnesota Timberwolves player will punish the Los Angeles Clippers with assists, and while the Miami Heat play fast and fun, it creates a betting opportunity for opposing rebounders.
Here are my latest NBA picks for December 6.

Prop #1: Zaccharie Risacher Over 11.5 points
Zaccharie Risacher and the Atlanta Hawks have hit a bit of a slump, losing three straight games. But you know what can cure any slump? A matchup with the Washington Wizards, which is exactly what they get on Saturday night.
The former No. 1 overall pick got his sophomore season off to a solid start, averaging 12.9 points with a 55.5% effective field goal percentage over his first 12 games as the team got off to a 9-5 start.
However, Risacher has lost his rhythm a bit over the last several games. But who better to find it than against the Wizards?
With a 3-18 record and a -15.6 net rating, the Wizards look like the worst team in the NBA this season, and not surprisingly, the effort on the defensive end of the floor hasn’t been pretty. Washington ranks dead last in defensive rating and 24th in opponent eFG%.
Risacher’s slump is giving us a modest point total of 11.5 with him for this game. Despite that slump, he’s still gone Over this number in three of his last six games, which includes going 6-for-12 from the floor for 17 points against this same Wizards squad back on November 25.

Prop #2: Keegan Murray Over 7.5 rebounds
The latest version of Erik Spoelstra’s Miami Heat looks like one of the most fun in years. They play a fast, exciting brand of basketball, and it has them at 14-7 heading into Saturday night’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings.
Miami leads the NBA in pace of play and field goal attempts per game. On top of that, the Heat are also playing small this season with Bam Adebayo running most of their minutes at center, which has resulted in Miami surrendering the second-most opponent rebounds per game.
Keegan Murray came into the NBA primarily as a 3-point shooter, but with the way the Kings are built, he’s had to adapt, and he’s had no problem crashing the boards, increasing his rebound per game every year to the point where he’s up to 7.6 per game this season.
His rebounding prop is set at 7.5, with the Over offering solid plus money and having hit in four of his last five games. I love him to do it again in this matchup tonight.

Prop #3: Jaden McDaniels Over 2.5 assists
Who would have thought that trading away your best two-way players and releasing veteran leaders would suddenly make you a terrible defensive team? The Los Angeles Clippers sure didn’t!
A team that finished last season ranked sixth in defensive rating is now the sixth-worst in 2025-26, and now they’ll have to contend with Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.
Ant and the T-Wolves will be a problem for the Clippers to contain, entering this Western Conference matchup ranking seventh in the NBA in offensive rating. And one way they can make L.A. look even worse is by moving the basketball.
The Clippers rank 23rd in opponent assists per possession this season. That means my attention is turned to T-Wolves wing Jaden McDaniels.
McDaniels is averaging 2.5 assists per game this season. His assist total is not shockingly set at 2.5. But the Over is at plus money, and McDaniels has been dishing out the dimes at a higher rate recently, upping that average to 3.0 over his last 16 games, going Over 2.5 assists 12 times during that period.
At this price, in this matchup. Sign me up for more McDaniels dimes tonight.
