An 8-game NBA slate takes center stage on Wednesday night, but 5 of those games have a spread of at least 6 points. With some possible blowout potential, let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for Wednesday, November 20, while you can also find out our NBA picks for today and throughout the entire season.
Tyrese Haliburton (IND) under 31.5 points+rebounds+assists (-113)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
We’re getting to that point in the season where home and away splits are becoming a factor. Tyrese Haliburton fits that mold with his putrid road splits. Haliburton and the Pacers will travel to Houston and take on a defensive-minded Rockets squad that are winners of 7 of their last 10 games. In 8 games away from Indiana this season, Haliburton is shooting 31% from the field and below 13 points per game — compared to 21 points per game at home on 46% shooting. Haliburton will likely have his hands full too, whether it’s Dillon Brooks or Amen Thomspon chasing him around ball screens. Look for Haliburton to stay under this line for the 7th time in 9 games on the road.

Jalen Williams (OKC) over 11.5 rebounds+assists (-120)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The Oklahoma City Thunder took an ugly loss last night to a San Antonio team without their 3 leading scorers. Shooting 16-53 from three-point range didn’t help the cause. Nonetheless, I’m targeting Jalen Williams, and his rebounds+assists prop with a depleted Thunder backcourt that has Williams playing the center position. Williams hauled in 10 rebounds and dished out 6 assists last night against the Spurs, all while scoring 27 points. He’s taken it upon himself to lead the Thunder, especially when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on the bench and Williams can run the offense.
In 6 games without Chet Holmgrem, Williams is over this line in 3 of them, with both misses at 10 and 11 rebounds+assists. This game against the Portland Trail Blazers could get ugly, as the Thunder are 12-point favorites, but Williams has played at least 6 minutes in the 4th quarter in all but 1 game this season. It helps when SGA’s rotation is playing the whole 3rd quarter and starting on the bench to start the 4th.
