Wednesday's NBA player props
No Terry Rozier? No problem. LaMelo Ball has taken on a hefty offensive load with Rozier on the sidelines this season. In 11 games played with Rozier this season, Ball has averaged 18.5 points on 15.2 field-goal attempts. In nine games played without Rozier, Ball has averaged 32.2 points on 24.2 field-goal attempts.
Ball has averaged just 24.8 in points per game five games since returning, and he hasn't scored 30 in any of them. All of those games were played with Rozier, though, so we can expect him to take plenty of shots tonight.
The Pistons allow the second-most points to opponents this season, which bodes well for Ball to cash this plus-money prop. This prop is set at 27.5 at our best sports betting apps for odds around -135. We can do much better by selling just a single basket at bet365.
Towns went off for a career-high 62 points on Monday against the Hornets, and he gets another favorable draw Wednesday. Washington allows the most points per game to opponents, including the most at home. The Wizards' defense has given up 126.5 points per game in DC, and we'll bank on Towns continuing to roll tonight.
His points prop is set at 23.5 at our best sports betting sites, but like Ball's prop, we can do better by selling just a single point to get plus-money odds.
On the season, the big man has scored at least 24 points in 16 games and at least 25 points in 14. That includes nine of his 14 25-point games on the road, during which he has been a more effective scorer this season. Towns averages 23.4 points per game at home and 21.6 on the road.
Bam Adebayo has been on a roll as of late. Over his last 15 games, he's averaged 21.0 points, 11.6 boards, and 4.8 assists, posting 12 double-doubles with an average of 37.4 PRAs. He's cashed this prop in eight of those 15 contests, and he's in a great spot to keep the momentum going Wednesday against Memphis.
On the season, Adebayo's home and away splits are negligible in points and rebounds, but he's averaging 5.1 assists per game at home compared to 3.6 on the road. Memphis allows the fourth-most rebounds per game to opponents, and Adebayo should have no problem scoring and rebounding effectively against a team missing so many key pieces of its rotation.
He went off for 30 points, 11 rebounds, and an assist at Memphis on Nov. 8, and we're taking the Over on his PRAs prop.
This one is sure to be fireworks! Rookie of the Year odds favorites Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama face off for the second time this season. The first meeting in OKC was a blowout, but we're hoping for a more competitive matchup in San Antonio.
Wembanyama has averaged 25.1 points and 9.4 rebounds across his last seven, posting four double-doubles in that span.
On the season, he's averaged 10.7 boards at home compared to 9.3 on the road, and he's got 18 double-doubles to his credit. The Thunder allow the fifth-most rebounds to opponents, and Wemby grabbed 14 rebounds on Nov. 14 when the teams last met.
He's failed to reach double-digit points in just one of his last 23 games, and he should have no problem pulling down at least 10 boards in this favorable matchup
