Lakers vs. Hawks prop: Ziaire Williams 10+ points

  • Time: 7 p.m. ET
  • TV: Spectrum SportsNet, Peachtree Sports Network
  • Analyst: Geoff Clark

Pick: Ziaire Williams 10+ points

Give me Williams 10+ points as long as the prop stays below 48%. He's sixth on the Lakers in minutes per game and could see more run Monday.

Austin Reaves is questionable after playing 36:41 in Detroit on Sunday, while Quentin Grimes has already been ruled out. Williams has scored 10+ points in five of eight games this season, including three of his four starts.

Plus, Williams owns the Lakers' second-best true shooting percentage, which accounts for 2-pointers, 3-pointers, and free throws. Even if his shot isn't falling, his defense should keep him on the floor long enough to clear 10 points through volume.

Lakers vs. Hawks prop: Aaron Wiggins 3+ made threes

  • Time: 7 p.m. ET
  • TV: Spectrum SportsNet, Peachtree Sports Network
  • Analyst: Geoff Clark

Pick: Aaron Wiggins 3+ made threes

Wiggins' 3+ made threes is playable up to 45%.

Wiggins has made at least three 3-pointers in seven of his 11 games this season, and the Lakers rank 29th in made threes allowed per contest. That's a favorable matchup for someone who's been knocking down triples this consistently.

Despite coming off the bench, Wiggins averages the fifth-most minutes per game for Atlanta, so his role isn't exactly limited. Like most role players, Wiggins shoots better from behind the arc at home. Given his recent production, playing time, and the Lakers' perimeter defense, I like his chances of hitting threes.

Cavaliers vs. Hornets prop: Donovan Mitchell Over 24.5 points

  • Time: 7 p.m. ET
  • TV: DAZN-Cleveland, DAZN-Charlotte
  • Analyst: Quinn Allen

Pick: Donovan Mitchell Over 24.5 points

Mitchell has cleared 24.5 points in two of his last three games, including a 37-point performance against the Knicks on Saturday and 27 points against the Thunder last week. He's attempted at least 17 shots in four straight games and has knocked down 29 threes across his last three outings.

Charlotte's defense, particularly on the perimeter, gives him a favorable opportunity to keep scoring.

Cavaliers vs. Hornets prop: Coby White Under 14.5 points

  • Time: 7 p.m. ET
  • TV: DAZN-Cleveland, DAZN-Charlotte
  • Analyst: Quinn Allen

Pick: Coby White Under 14.5 points

White has recently returned from injury and hasn't played more than 18 minutes in any of his three appearances, scoring seven, four, and seven points. He could see a larger role with Brandon Miller out, but the workload and scoring production haven't been there yet.

Cleveland also limits opponents to 34% shooting from three, making this a difficult matchup for White to find his rhythm.

Wizards vs. Pistons prop: Kyshawn George Over 1.5 threes

  • Time: 7 p.m. ET
  • TV: Peacock
  • Analyst: Quinn Allen

Pick: Kyshawn George Over 1.5 threes

George is averaging 2.2 made threes on 5.9 attempts per game while shooting 37.3% from beyond the arc. He's attempted at least seven threes in five consecutive appearances, clearing this line in each of those games, and is 7-for-15 from deep over his last two outings.

Detroit defends the three well, but George needs just two makes to cash this Over.

Wizards vs. Pistons prop: Ausar Thompson Over 7.5 rebounds

  • Time: 7 p.m. ET
  • TV: Peacock
  • Analyst: Quinn Allen

Top pick: Ausar Thompson Over 7.5 rebounds

Thompson has collected 28 rebounds over his last two games, including 17 against Philadelphia and 11 against the Lakers. He's cleared 7.5 boards in four of his last five outings, and with Jalen Duren still out, Thompson has a larger rebounding responsibility.

Washington ranks 26th in rebounds and allows 9.43 rebounds per game to opposing power forwards, giving Thompson a favorable matchup.

Grizzlies vs. Raptors prop: Zach Edey Over 7.5 rebounds

  • Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
  • TV: DAZN-Memphis, Sportsnet
  • Analyst: Chris Walder

Pick: Zach Edey Over 7.5 rebounds

All 7-foot-3 of Zach Edey's immense frame has been too much for the Raptors to handle in recent meetings. He's seen them twice in his young career, averaging a Shaq-like double-double of 17 points and 15.5 rebounds in just 26 minutes of action.

His 20.5 minutes per game are his lowest through three seasons, as playing someone of Edey's size with his plodding nature does come with its degree of limitations. Nonetheless, the Canadian giant will have a distinct size advantage in the frontcourt, and should match minutes whenever Jakob Poeltl is on the hardwood.

This will help Edey achieve an Over at 7.5 boards for the fifth time overall, and the third time in his last four appearances.

Grizzlies vs. Raptors prop: RJ Barrett Over 1.5 threes

  • Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
  • TV: DAZN-Memphis, Sportsnet
  • Analyst: Chris Walder

Pick: RJ Barrett Over 1.5 threes

An 0-for-4 shooting performance from distance for RJ Barrett on Friday was a rare off night for the 26-year-old guard.

Yes, his current 29.2% efficiency is the worst of his career, but props for 3-pointers made don't take into account how many attempts it takes to reach an Over, just as long as a player gets there.

Barrett still has four Overs at 1.5 makes in his last six games, and the Grizzlies are allowing opponents to shoot 38.5% (24th) during their ongoing losing skid.

Pacers vs. Mavericks prop: Pascal Siakam 2+ threes

  • Time: 8 p.m. ET
  • TV: DAZN-Indiana, KFAA
  • Analyst: Geoff Clark

Pick: Pascal Siakam 2+ threes

Siakam has made exactly two threes in each of his last two games and went 3-for-5 from deep against Dallas in their previous meeting.

He should lead Indiana in usage and shot volume with Tyrese Haliburton out. His road 3-point shooting splits also give this pick some appeal.

Pacers vs. Mavericks prop: P.J. Washington 15+ points

  • Time: 8 p.m. ET
  • TV: DAZN-Indiana, KFAA
  • Analyst: Geoff Clark

Pick: P.J. Washington 15+ points

Washington has cleared this number in half of his games this season and scored 20 against Indiana in their earlier meeting.

He has the third-highest usage rate among Dallas starters and should benefit from the playmaking of Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving.

Read our full Pacers vs. Mavericks predictions.

Nuggets vs. Rockets prop: Jabari Smith Jr. Over 2.5 threes

  • Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
  • TV: NBA League Pass
  • Analyst: Todd Cordell

Pick: Jabari Smith Jr. Over 2.5 threes

Smith is averaging 3.5 made threes per game and has cleared this line in five of six matchups against teams outside the Top 10 in limiting three-point attempts. The Nuggets rank 30th in defending catch-and-shoot opportunities and 29th against spot-up shooters. Smith gets 44% of his buckets via catch-and-shoot opportunities and averages 3.6 threes against bottom-10 spot-up defenses.

Spurs vs. Suns prop: Dylan Harper Over 16.5 points

  • Time: 9 p.m. ET
  • TV: Arizona's Family 3TV, Suns Live, DAZN SAS
  • Analyst: Tom Oldfield

Pick: Dylan Harper Over 16.5 points

Harper has started Year 2 with a bang, averaging 18.1 PPG on 50% shooting, and he won't hesitate to attack Jalen Green and Collin Gillespie in this matchup.

Harper has nailed this Over in four of his last five contests, including two outings with 20+ points, and his minutes could spike with Devin Vassell ruled out.

Watch for Harper to collect easy points at the free-throw line and on the offensive glass as Phoenix sells out to battle Wemby.

Spurs vs. Suns prop: Miles Bridges Over 6.5 rebounds

  • Time: 9 p.m. ET
  • TV: Arizona's Family 3TV, Suns Live, DAZN SAS
  • Analyst: Tom Oldfield

Pick: Miles Bridges Over 6.5 rebounds

When it comes to tonight's rebounding battle, it's all hands on deck for the Suns, who have struggled mightily in this department this year. Miles Bridges can help, though.

Bridges has grabbed 10+ boards in three of his past five games, and he's averaging 9.0 RPG so far in November. The hosts will surely be on high alert given the San Antonio guards' ability to crash the glass, and Bridges will be especially valuable here if the inevitable Dillon Brooks foul trouble arises.

Pelicans vs. Warriors prop: Zion Williamson 20+ points

  • Time: 10 p.m. ET
  • TV: Peacock, NBC Sports
  • Analyst: Dustin Saracini

Pick: Zion Williamson 20+ points

Williamson is shooting 62.8% from the field this season. He went 9-for-9 from the field for 25 points against the Clippers and has scored at least 23 points in three of his last four games.

His ability to attack the paint and generate high-percentage looks supports another 20-point performance.

Pelicans vs. Warriors prop: Draymond Green 7+ assists

  • Time: 10 p.m. ET
  • TV: Peacock, NBC Sports
  • Analyst: Dustin Saracini

Pick: Draymond Green 7+ assists

Green is averaging 7.8 assists per game this season and recently handed out 11 against Miami. Golden State is averaging 31 assists per game over its last seven contests.

The Warriors rank second in the NBA in true shooting percentage, giving Green plenty of opportunities to facilitate.
