The NBA Cup semifinals takes place on Saturday night, with Knicks-Magic and Spurs-Thunder. A limited Victor Wembanyama makes his return to the hardwood for the first time since November 14. He’ll look to challenge a Thunder squad that is nearing historic marks with a 24-1 start to the season.
Let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for the NBA Cup semifinals on Saturday, December 13, while you can also find out our expert NBA picks for every game throughout the season.
Best NBA player prop bet: Anthony Black (ORL) Over 9.5 rebounds + assists (-112)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Anthony Black’s prop of over 12.5 Rebs/Asts is on the move on most books, but DraftKings is sitting still at 12.5 and — more importantly — a price we’re willing to back. Black has taken a massive leap in his third year in the NBA. After what many considered a potential trade piece coming into the year, Black has improved in every aspect. It helps when the trio of Jalen Suggs, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner misses extended time. Even as the fouth option behind Banchero, Suggs and Desmond Bane, Black is putting up team-leading rebound and assist numbers. Since Banchero returned from injury, Black is averaging 7.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists — surpassing 10+ Rebs/Asts in all 3 games. We’re avoiding adding his points, as Bane, Banchero and Suggs will probably account for 50+ field goal attempts.
