NBA Best Bets Today (Predictions, Prop Bets for Isaiah Hartenstein, Knicks-Mavs, Rock

Every team in the NBA is in action on the Wednesday before an off day on Thanksgiving, so it’s only right that we place a few bets tonight.

After a 2-1 day yesterday – highlighted by Jimmy Butler clearing his base throughout our unit play – I’m officially over 2.5 units ahead this season, a great sign after a rather slow start to the season in October and Beginning of November.

Now I have four plays for Wednesday’s action – including three player props – to send us into the holidays on a high note.

Isaiah Hartenstein OVER 25.5 points, rebounds and assists (-110) – 0.5 units

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein has made a huge impact since returning to the lineup, recording 25.5 points, rebounds and assists in each of his first two games of the 2024-25 season:

Hartenstein averages 18.0 rebound chances per game, but what’s even more impressive is his scoring prowess. He averages 16 points per game and attempts 12 and 15 shots in his two games.

After his start against Sacramento, I think Hartenstein is in a great position to clear that number tonight. The Golden State Warriors rank 26th in the NBA in opponent rebounds per game and lack size in the middle of their roster.

Since Hartenstein likely spends the entire time he’s on the field as the tallest player on the field, another double-double should be in store for him on Wednesday.

Keegan Murray OVER 22.5 points and rebounds (-115) – 0.5 units

The Sacramento Kings will be without DeMar DeRozan on Wednesday night, which could lead to an expanded role for winger Keegan Murray.

This season, Murray has scored 23 or more points and rebounds in just eight of his 18 games, but he was strong on the glass in the 2024-25 season, averaging 8.2 rebounds per game.

Without DeRozan, Murray could see himself playing a larger role as a shooter, and he has already taken 14 or more shots in three of his last six games. With the Minnesota Timberwolves slipping defensively this season and playing for the second night in a row, this is a solid matchup for Murray as the de facto No. 3 option for the Kings.

Josh Hart OVER 8.5 rebounds (-110) – 0.5 units

New York Knicks winger Josh Hart has failed to clear 8.5 rebounds in three of his last four games, but heading into Wednesday’s game in Dallas, he is still averaging 8.6 boards per game this season .

Hart is one of – if not the best – rebounding guards in the NBA, and he has cleared 8.5 boards in nine of his 17 games this season, averaging 14.7 rebounding chances per game.

Always known for his motor, Hart has a favorable game tonight against a Dallas team that ranks 17th in the NBA in rebounding percentage and 21st in opponents’ rebounds per game.

New York Knicks-Houston Rockets Moneyline Parlay (+138)

New York Knicks (-166)

The Knicks are coming off a blowout win over the Denver Nuggets and have a chance to finish their four-game West Coast campaign 3-1 with a victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.

Dallas has Luka Doncic out on Wednesday, Dereck Lively II questionable, Klay Thompson questionable and Quentin Grimes questionable.

The Knicks haven’t played well in Dallas in the Jalen Brunson era, but I think they’re in a good position to pick up a win here and they’re a bit undervalued as mere four-point favorites.

New York and Dallas are both in the top 10 in the league in net rating, but I’m not convinced Dallas has the scoring to beat the Knicks in this matchup without Luka.

Houston Rockets (-205)

This is the second night in a row for the Houston Rockets after they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.

While the Rockets face a difficult turnaround against the Philadelphia 76ers on the road, Philly will not be without Joel Embiid and Paul George again in this duel.

Houston is 13-6 overall and 8-2 in their last 10 games, while the Sixers are just 3-13 overall and have struggled on offense (28th in offensive rating) and just 1st in net rating 27th place in the league.

I expect the Rockets to win this game considering how bad Philly was to start the season.
