NBA Player Props Today - Best LeBron James Props | Pickswise
With limited Games, NBA fans usually get the short end of the stick on Thursdays. But tonight, we have a nine-Game slate. Let’s dive into our top NBA player prop bets for the Games on Thursday, November 30. Be sure to also read our NBA predictions for each of tonight’s matchups.
DeMar DeRozan (CHI) under 31.5 pts/rebs/asts (-104)
Line available at FanDuel at time of publishing.
It’s a ticking time bomb in Chicago. It’s just a matter of time before DeMar DeRozan or Zach Lavine get shipped off somewhere on the West Coast. Even Alex Caruso is the center of trade talks. Playoff teams would love the acquisition of Caruso and his versatile defense. But as long as the Bulls current roster is intact, we have plenty of opportunities to fade them. Tonight, it’s DeMar DeRozan.
The opponent has yet to matter much regarding DeRozan hitting this prop. He’s stayed under in 15 of 18 Games, including 15 of 17 when Lavine is active. This matchup against the Bucks suits Lavine much better as the Bucks struggle to defend elite ballhandlers. We also have to factor in that DeRozan is dealing with an injury that held him out of the 4th quarter of a blowout loss to the Boston Celtics’ last Game.

LeBron James (LAL) over 24.5 points (-115)
Line available at ESPN at time of publishing.
LeBron James had a great time in Detroit last night. He scored 25 points in just 29 minutes and just two in the 4th quarter after the Lakers jumped out to a 25-point lead to start the quarter. Now, the actual test is tonight. James and the Lakers will battle the Oklahoma City Thunder as 5.5-point underdogs on the road – right where we want LeBron.
The second leg of a back-to-back has yet to affect James much this season. He’s surpassed this line in 2 of 3 this season, averaging 34 minutes in those three contests. The minutes restriction that head coach Darvin Ham labeled on James to start the season has not been a factor, as James is playing upwards of 34 minutes per Game. On that note, when James does play at least 30 minutes, he’s over this line in 8 of 12 this season. The Thunder have versatile defenders to throw at James, but they’ve allowed their fair share of points to ballhandling forwards. Give me the King to hoist upwards of 20 shots on the road tonight in what should be a great Game.
