NBA Props for Friday Nov. 24: MPJ will fire away

By Matt Wiesenfeld | Last updated Nov 24, 2023 3:40 PM ET

Happy day after Thanksgiving. On Wednesday, we split but the strategy of only backing + payoffs helped us add to our record total. It was almost an even better night but Giannis fell short. I still think that is a bet you are going to win enough to keep making (just like MPJ and Jalen Green)

Tonight we have 10 games on the schedule to choose from. That should be more than enough.

Results to Date: 31-38, +110.5 Units (new high for the season)

NBA Props for Friday Nov. 24

Michael Porter Jr. 20 + Points (+145) alt line

I know, I just made this play on Wednesday. The name of the game is winning not variety though, and as long as Jamal Murray is out MPJ is going to have lots of opportunities. Houston has been stingier this season than last but Porter is also feeling it. He has been over 20 points in two of three and three of the last six games.

Domantas Sabonis Over 19.5 (+105)

Sabonis is another player I love to back and tonight I do not even have to go with the alt line to get the payoff I want. He has been over 20 points in six of his last seven games and even though Minnesota has size inside I am not worried. This is under his seasonal average which is not making much sense with that price.

Ausar Thompson 10+ Rebounds (+130) Alt line

Thompson has proven to be a very useful player early in his career even though his scoring is light. He uses his athleticism to be an elite rebounder for his size. He is averaging just over 10 rebounds per game and I do not think this game is taking into account all of the extra boards that come from Indiana's wicked-fast pace of play.

Isaiah Stewart 15+ Points (+205) Alt line

This is another line where the pace of this game is going to be very helpful. The Pacers had no answer for Pascal Siakam in the last game as Obi Toppin is not offering much defensive resistance at that four spot. Stewart is averaging just 11 ppg this season but is shooting it better than he ever has. This is a game where a spike is likely.
