Last night, the NBA in-season tournament took place. The first seven group play games tipped off. We don’t need to worry about that today. These games won’t count towards that. Let’s dive into our top NBA player props bets for Saturday, Nov. 4. You can also read our NBA predictions for each of tonight’s matchups.
Talen Horton-Tucker, UTAH, Over 20.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-111)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The Talen Horton-Tucker breakout game is coming. We saw glimpses of it last game. as he finished with a season-high in minutes due to the Utah Jazz finally being competitive in a game. Tucker finished with 26 PRA in 31 minutes. Tucker will remain the third option behind Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson, but his 14 field goal attempts were third on the team last game. It’s even more encouraging that he shot 50% from the field. Tonight, Tucker and the Jazz get the tough assignment against the Minnesota Timberwolves. We’ll have our fingers crossed that the Jazz can make this a game.
The T’Wolves come into tonight as 7.5-point favorites on FanDuel. Understandably so, they are playing at a top defensive level. They’ve held 3 of their 4 opponents under 100 points, including the reigning NBA champions, Denver Nuggets. But with all the attention on Clarkson and Markkanen, Tucker will be a sneaky candidate to have a big game. He’s come up clutch for the Jazz down the stretch already this season by recording 13 and 8 PRA in the 4th quarter when he does go over this line. If we can get to the 25-minute mark by Tucker, I have all the faith that he smashes this line. Last season, when playing at least 25 minutes, Tucker surpassed this player prop line in 20 of 23 games.
