NBA Props for Thursday Nov. 30: Quickly pick Quickley

It has been a rough go this week so I took yesterday off. Sometimes we have to remember that we always have the option to take a pass. Still, we are not going to beat the books by sitting on the sidelines and we were just one rebound and two points from a profitable day on Tuesday, instead of a tragic 0-4 (we hate those!)

Tonight we have a bigger than normal Thursday slate to choose from with nine games on the calendar. That and a clear head should get us back on the winning track.

Results to Date: 32-48, +26.5 Units


NBA Props for Thursday, Nov. 30

Immanuel Quickley Over 16.5 Points (+100)

Quickley is one of the more underrated scorers in the league. He has been over this total in three straight and has four 20+ point games in his last seven. The only worry is that New York dominates and that limits his minutes, however a couple of those 20-point efforts were in those kinds of games. 

Josh Hart Over 13.5 Points and Rebounds (+100)

I know, another secondary player for the Knicks. This total is right at his average production over the last 10 games and for the season. As such it should probably be priced at -110 not +100, which is why I am jumping on it. In those blowout games I mentioned above, he cleared this in two of three as well. 

Dejounte Murray Over 1.5 Steals (+110)

Murray is one of the better perimeter defenders in the league. San Antonio is fourth worst in the league in turnovers per game. Put those together and Murray is a strong bet to get a couple of steals tonight, just as he has in seven of the last ten games. He might even cash this in the first quarter if things are as sloppy as I think they might be. 

Onyeka Okongwu 10+ Rebounds +200

I was looking for something with a little more payoff and this caught my eye. San Antonio, despite their length, is not a good rebounding team. I think Okongwu can have a better-than-average game on the boards. He has had three games with double-figure boards this season and some nines too. You gotta take some chance for that big payoff.
