We have a small 6-game slate in the NBA today but some money to make; although the menu is still, we think we've found a winner. Let’s dive into my favorite NBA player prop bet for Friday, December 1. Make sure you also check out our'NBA picks for all of tonight’s games as well.
Jalen Suggs (ORL) under 14.5 points (-125)
Line available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing. Recommended 1u wager.
The Wizards and Magic just met a couple of days ago and, unsurprisingly, the Magic dominated. Arguably the biggest reason was the explosive performance of Jalen Suggs, who put up a season-high 22 points. It is time to fade as the line has overreacted.
Since the injuries to Wendell Carter Jr. and Markelle Fultz, with Orlando without both starters, Suggs’ role has obviously increased but he is still only averaging 28.0 minutes per game and 14.4 points per game. In that span, his 19.9% usage rate is still lower than Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and multiple bench players, including backup point guard Cole Anthony.
