NBA Prop Picks for Thursday, November 6
Here are the best NBA player prop picks for Thursday, November 6, featuring some strategic insights for bets on FanDuel Sportsbook.
Devin Booker's Assist Prop
Devin Booker went under his assist prop in the first game against the Clippers this year, recording 7 assists on 13 potential. The Suns were blown out, losing by 27 points, which limited Booker's playing time to 26 minutes. Despite that, he nearly hit the assist number.
The Clippers have proven to be a favorable matchup for point guard assist props, allowing the fourth-most assists to point guards and fifth-most overall assists. Aside from Booker’s miss, all other point guards have surpassed their assist props against the Clippers this season.
This aligns with the Clippers' defensive struggles, ranking in the bottom nine against spot-up and off-screen plays—both typically leading to assisted baskets. Booker missed the assist prop in his first three games but exceeded it in three of the last five, with assists of 10, 9, and 13. Tonight, he is expected to reach eight assists.
John Collins to Step Up for the Clippers
With James Harden and Kawhi Leonard out, someone has to fill the void for the Clippers, and the pick is John Collins. However, this bet carries risk, as Collins has not yet reached his prop mark this season.
Still, the absence of two top usage players means the situation is different tonight, potentially giving Collins more opportunities.
"With no James Harden and Kawhi Leonard tonight, somebody has to step up for the Clippers, and the guess here is that it is going to be John Collins tonight."
These insights should guide bettors looking for value in player prop markets this Thursday.
