Nine games on the NBA schedule means the player props market is a treasure's trove of potential earnings for basketball bettors, and I've handpicked a few golden opportunities to monitor and hopefully boost your accounts.
Here are three prop picks too consider for the slate on Monday, November 25, including one from a Golden State Warrior who's been tearing it up on offense as of late.
Andrew Wiggins OVER 21.5 Points + Rebounds vs. Nets (-108)
Preview: Brooklyn Nets vs. Golden State Warriors, 10 p.m. ET
On a roster in which not a single player is averaging more than 30 minutes of playing time per game, it can often be risky to take a prop on any member of the Warriors with head coach Steve Kerr utilizing five-man substitution patterns to preserve fresh legs. However, as it would appear with former No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins, going quality over quantity can still lead to profitable box scores for onlookers.
Wiggins has scored 20 or more points in each of his last four games, leading Golden State during that stretch to the tune of 24.8 points on 57.6 percent shooting from the field and 48 percent from behind the arc. He's also contributing 4.5 rebounds, as well, which has helped him exceed 21.5 points + rebounds during those four games.
The Brooklyn Nets aren't stopping anyone on defense, ranking 25th in that regard by giving up 117 points per 100 possession. It should be a high-scoring matchup between a pair of offenses ranking in the top-third of the Association, boosting Wiggins' potential for another OVER on this number.
Scottie Barnes OVER 5.5 Assists vs. Pistons (-104)
Preview: Toronto Raptors vs. Detroit Pistons, 7 p.m. ET
Wearing protective glasses coming off an orbital fracture, Toronto Raptors All-Star Scottie Barnes took a shot to his grill from Jarrett Allen on Sunday night which could have been a lot worse, but thankfully, Barnes was able to continue. He finished with 18 points and seven assists in a 14-point loss on the road in what was his second game back this month.
Working in Barnes' favor on the second night of a back-to-back slate is that the Detroit Pistons sit 23rd in opponent's points (116.9) and 22nd in opponent's assists (26.5) when competing at Little Caesars Arena. Raptors guard Gradey Dick's status is also up in the air after exiting Sunday with a left hamstring injury, and should he sit, that will put more of an emphasis on Barnes to lead the charge to compensate for his potential absence.
Shaedon Sharpe OVER 2.5 Made 3-Pointers vs. Grizzlies (+118)
Preview: Portland Trail Blazers vs. Memphis Grizzlies, 8 p.m. ET
This is the biggest long shot of the three picks at +118, but one that comes with merit. Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe has converted three or more 3-pointers in five of his last six games, and he only played 23 minutes on the one occasion he didn't, which was a result of being blown out by the Houston Rockets on November 22.
The Memphis Grizzlies are allowing the third-most shot attempts from 3-point range in the league at 40.8, and while Portland isn't necessarily a strong shooting team, Sharpe's numbers still put him in line to generate at least three makes on the road with the roll he's been on. Now he did miss all five of his attempts earlier in the month when Memphis visited Rip City, but that was a 45-point home loss where no one looked particularly good.
