Explore the top NBA prop bets for Thursday, November 6, recommended for wagers on FanDuel Sportsbook. Key matchups highlight several notable player performances and market values.
In his first game this year against the Clippers, Devin Booker recorded seven assists on 13 potential assists but played only 26 minutes due to a 27-point blowout loss. Despite limited time, he nearly met his assist target.
The Clippers have been a favorable opponent for point guards regarding assist props, allowing the fourth-most assists to point guards and ranking fifth overall in assists conceded. Excluding Booker’s under, all other five point guards opposing the Clippers this season have gone over their assist prop.
“The Clippers are a bottom-nine defense against spot-up and off-screen plays, both of which lead to assisted baskets.”
Booker missed his assist prop in his first three games but has surpassed it in three of his last five, with games of 10, 9, and 13 assists. He’s projected to reach eight assists in tonight’s contest.
With James Harden and Kawhi Leonard sidelined, someone on the Clippers must take on a larger role. The prediction is that John Collins will rise to that challenge. Although he hasn’t topped this particular prop in any game so far this season, the absence of two high-usage players changes the dynamics, providing a fresh opportunity for him.
This wager carries some risk given Collins’ history, yet his expanded role could finally allow him to hit his target. Players filling voids in short-handed lineups often exceed expectations.
Author’s summary: Thursday’s NBA props spotlight Devin Booker’s assist consistency and John Collins’ chance to step up against an undermanned Clippers squad.
