Sandwiched between Monday and Wednesday slates, we get a six-game Tuesday filled with some quality matchups and NBA player props.
I’m looking for Steph Curry to bring the heat in his first game back, and I’m eyeing two more scoring props to round out my top NBA picks for November 11.
Best NBA player props today
| Player | Pick |  |
|---|---|---|
 Lauri Markkanen |
Over 26.5 points | -110 |
 Stephen Curry |
Over 23.5 points | -110 |
 Michael Porter Jr. |
Over 22.5 points | -115 |
Prop #1: Lauri Markkanen Over 26.5 points
Lauri Markkanen is enjoying the most productive scoring mark of his career, averaging 28.3 points across nine contests. He scored at least 20 points in eight straight games to open the season, including a 51-point eruption.
His 20-point scoring streak was snapped on Friday against the Timberwolves as he finished with 12 points on 4 of 14 shooting, but he bounced back on Monday with 21 points in the rematch. Markkanen still shot just 6-for-15 in that one.
Back at home for the second leg of a back-to-back, Markkanen is set for a big night. He’s averaged 31 points at home compared to 25.3 on the road, and he gets a beneficial matchup with a Pacers team allowing the eighth-most points per game.

Prop #2: Stephen Curry Over 23.5 points
Stephen Curry (illness) will return following a three-game absence, and I expect him to pick up where he left off in the scoring department. Curry is averaging 26.3 points per game at home compared to 27.3 on the road.
He’s reached the Over on this mark in three of four road games, and he’ll need to be at his best against an electric Thunder offense.
For as good as OKC’s defense has been this season, the Thunder have allowed the fourth-most 3-pointers per game, which is advantageous for the NBA’s all-time leader in that department.
- Time: 8:00 p.m. ET
- Where to watch: FDSN-Oklahoma, NBCS-Bay Area
Prop #3: Michael Porter Jr. Over 22.5 points
Michael Porter Jr. has stepped up for Brooklyn as the team’s leading scorer, averaging a career-high 23.3 points per game. He’s posted 27 points per game at home compared to 20.4 on the road.
Brooklyn’s next highest scorer, Cam Thomas, has missed the team’s last two games after getting injured in the game prior. In that three-game span, MPJ has posted 28.3 ppg and scored 23+ in three straight.
With a dearth of scoring options on the roster and the green light to let it fly, expect Porter Jr. to clear this scoring line with ease.
