The NBA Cup gets started tonight with an 8-game group play slate. Let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for Tuesday, November 12. You can also find out our NBA picks for all the big matchups today and throughout the entire 2024-25 season.
Anthony Edwards (MIN) Over 26.5 points (-110)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Anthony Edwards looks to shake off his worst shooting performance on the season last game, where he shot 8 of 24 against an always stingy Miami Heat defense on Sunday. Tonight, he’ll go head-to-head with a woeful Portland Trail Blazers defense that Edwards scored 37 points against last Friday night, which included not playing in the 4th quarter.
The NBA Cup brings an interesting angle to player prop bets — specifically overs. Tiebreakers are determined by head-to-head record, point differential and total points scored. This means starters could get an extra run late in the game, no matter the score. Edwards is perfect for this scenario — a high-volume shooter on a team with a 115 implied team total.

Josh Hart (NYK) Over 4.5 assists (-125)
Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.
Finding a way to play a New York Knicks prop was a must for tonight, seeing how coach Tom Thibodeau likes to push his starters. Hart is averaging 36 minutes per contest and 8.7 assist opportunities per game. He’s recorded at least 5 assists in 4 straight games.
The 76ers will likely let Hart do whatever he wants on offense. He’s a unique 5th scoring option, but he excels when creating for others. Given that this is an NBA Cup game and Hart is playing in Philadelphia, where he played his college ball, I’m all for backing him to register at least 5 dimes tonight.
