🏀 NBA Player Props & Best Bets Tonight: Cunningham, Wembanyama, Jokic Featured in Six-Game Slate
Wednesday brings a light six-game schedule, and I've found three NBA player props I absolutely love ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff.
I’ve circled Cade Cunningham, Victor Wembanyama, and Nikola Jokic as my top plays for tonight. What's better than wagering on some elite talent? Nothing. Let's dig in.

💰 Best NBA player prop: Thunder key in on Cunningham (-130)
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Cunningham is one of the best players in the world and is a legitimate candidate on the NBA MVP odds board. However, he'll be going up against the best defense in basketball, and will undoubtedly see doubles tonight. The Thunder are going to make Detroit's role players beat them, so expect Cunningham to turn into more of a facilitator. He's gone under this number in two straight games.
🔥 More NBA player prop picks
Wemby to heat back up vs. Raptors (-130)
The one player you don't want to see on a back-to-back is Wembanyama, and that's exactly who the Raptors will be looking at across the court after getting beat down by the Thunder defense last night. They'll be in tough against Wemby, who's coming off an inefficent shooting performance and will want to see some shots fall early. His number at 22.5 is just far too low for me.
Jokic to do it all vs. Celtics (-105)
Jokic is coming off his fifth triple-double this month and is getting a Boston team in the second half of a back-to-back. The Celtics do many things right, so I don't expect him to blow their doors off, but Jokic will be carrying a significant workload in what should be a close game wire-to-wire. If that's the case, and he sees around 35 minutes of action, he'll do enough to record another triple-double.
💡 How I'm betting the NBA slate
Wednesday's card is built around matchup edges I’ve identified based around teams coming off back-to-backs. Unit sizes are adjusted based on where I see the strongest value. Two of three bets today are volume plays, focused on stars who will be playing in close games, which gives us more opportunity to go over their specific number. I'm using $50 as my unit size, meaning I'm in for $200 today.
