With 11 games scheduled to be played across the NBA on Wednesday, there a ton of props to consider on No House Advantage. Let’s try to narrow down the field by highlighting some favorable options. Also, be sure to check out the NBA Player Props Tool to help pick props.
NBA No House Advantage Props: Nov. 2
Pascal Siakam, TOR at SA: Over 21.5 Points
Siakam is currently leading the Raptors in usage rate with 30.4%. No other player on the team has a usage rate higher than 21.7%, so Siakam is leading by a wide margin. His overall efficiency is down a bit compared to last season, but he’s not exactly struggling by shooting 47.0% from the field.
With Siakam having such a high usage rate, he’s averaged 26.1 points per game and scored at least 22 points in six of his seven games. The Spurs have played at the third-fastest pace in the league and don’t have a ton of depth up front, so the stars could be aligning for Siakam to have another scoring outburst.
DeMar DeRozan, CHI vs. CHA: Over 22.5 Points
DeRozan’s numbers are down a bit this season, but he’s still averaging 25.1 points per game. He remains extremely efficient, shooting 50.7% from the field and 89.1% from the charity stripe. The 3-point shot is not a big part of his game, but his ability to dominate the mid-range is as impressive as anyone’s in the league.
The big news for this game is that Zach LaVine (knee) is expected to sit out. This will be the second game of a back-to-back set for the Bulls, and LaVine has yet to play on consecutive days this season. In three games that LaVine has missed this season, DeRozan scored at least 32 points each time. The Hornets have played at the 10th-fastest pace in the league, further tilting this matchup in DeRozan’s favor.
Saddiq Bey, DET at MIL: Under 17.5 Points
The Pistons have more depth than they did last season. They drafted Jaden Ivey and acquired Bojan Bogdanovic from the Jazz. That has contributed to Bey’s usage rate declining to 18.6%, which is down nearly 3 percentage points compared to last season.
As if his usage rate declining wasn’t bad enough, Bey is also averaging two fewer minutes per game. This is not a good matchup against the Bucks, who have the best defensive rating in the league. When these two teams met Monday, Bey was held to 10 points. Another muted stat line could be coming.
Collin Sexton, UTA at DAL: Under 16.5 Points
For a team that is rebuilding, the Jazz have quality depth. Sexton was one player that they brought in during the offseason, and he appeared to be primed to take on a prominent role. However, he’s been mostly relegated to coming off the bench, averaging just 20 minutes per game.
With Sexton playing so few minutes, he has scored at least 17 points in just two of eight games. The Mavericks love to slow things down, playing at the second-slowest pace in the league. Add that to Sexton likely playing limited minutes again and it’s difficult to project him going off in the scoring department.
