NBA Prop Picks for Thursday, November 6
Here are the best NBA prop picks for Thursday, November 6, available with bonuses on FanDuel Sportsbook.
Devin Booker's Assist Prop
Devin Booker went under his assist prop in his first game against the Clippers this season, recording 7 assists on 13 potential assists. The Suns were blown out by 27 points, limiting Booker’s playing time to 26 minutes. Despite this, he came close to hitting the prop.
The Clippers have been a strong matchup for point guard assist props, allowing the fourth-most assists to point guards and fifth-most assists overall. Except for Booker’s first game, all five other point guards have gone over their assist props against the Clippers.
This is understandable since the Clippers rank in the bottom nine for defending spot-ups and off-screen plays, which generate assisted baskets.
Booker missed the assist prop in his first three games this season but has surpassed it in three of five games since, including performances with 10, 9, and 13 assists. Tonight, he is expected to reach the assist prop number of eight.
Clippers' Situation and John Collins
With James Harden and Kawhi Leonard out tonight, someone needs to step up for the Clippers. The prediction is that John Collins will fill that role.
This pick carries some risk, as Collins has not yet hit his prop in any game this season.
However, the absence of two of the Clippers’ highest usage players creates a favorable opportunity for Collins tonight.
"The Clippers have been a great matchup for point guard assist props this year, allowing the fourth-most assists to point guards specifically and the fifth-most assists overall."
"With no James Harden and Kawhi Leonard tonight, somebody has to step up for the Clippers, and the guess here is that it is going to be John Collins tonight."
Author’s summary: Devin Booker is likely to hit his assist prop against a weak Clippers defense, while John Collins may emerge as a key player due to absences on the Clippers' roster.
