2023-24 NBA Player Props, Breakdown, Odds, and Picks (Dec 14)

• We’ve got some NBA player props for you for Thursday, December 14.
• Can Luka Doncic outplay one of the NBA’s best defenses?
• Will Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continue his high-scoring run?

Last night, we went 2-for-2 with our player props, correctly predicting that Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo would go over. It seems to us that now is that time of the year when NBA superstars are in a points-scoring mood.

We’ll see whether we’re right this evening when we expect to see Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander go wild. To see what kind of NBA player prop bets we’re planning to make, just keep on reading.

Game Preview

Luka Doncic’s points margin for the Minnesota at Dallas game is set at 33.5. He went over that number in five of his last 10 games. In his most recent game – vs. LA Lakers – he scored 33 points.

Now, Doncic & Co. are taking on the Timberwolves who are fantastic defensively. They’re the league’s second defense, allowing just 105.9 points a game.

The Mavericks are aware of this, which is why they’ll probably work extra hard tonight. For them to win, their best player will have to work harder than anyone else. That’s why we expect Doncic to go over 33.5.

Thunder vs. Kings

Game Preview

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is one of only five NBA players with a points average of over 30. He’s scoring 30.4 per game, going 30 or more in eight of his last 10 games. We think he’s gonna do something similar this evening as well.

This guy’s been in fantastic form lately, even against teams that are superb defensively. For example, 10 days ago, he scored 33 points against the NBA’s best defense, the Houston Rockets.

That’s exactly the same number of points that he scored the last time he played against the Sacramento Kings. We see no reason why he wouldn’t do the same again.
