NBA Cup group stage continues on Friday night with a 9-game slate, concluding with Warriors-Spurs on Prime. Let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for Friday, November 14, while you can also find out our expert NBA picks for every game throughout the NBA season.
Best NBA player prop bet: Egor Demin (BKN) Under 13.5 points+assists (-115)
Odds available at bet365 at time of publishing.
The Brooklyn Nets are flirting with historically bad territory. They’ve registered 1 win through 11 games and are 13.5-point underdogs on Friday night to the Orlando Magic. It’s a pace-down spot and is the 2nd lowest total on the slate. Despite the loss of Cam Thomas, let’s dive into why we’re fading Egor Demin – the Nets top choice in this past draft.
After a poor start to his career, Demin settled in with his best game of his young career in his last game versus the Raptors – registering 16 points and 5 assists. Nonetheless, Bet365 and BetMGM are offering his assists and points prop at a tick higher than the rest of the market. Additionally, Demin’s usage rate in the last 2 games has him as the 4th-5th-option. Even with the loss of Paolo Banchero, I expect a defensive-minded effort from Orlando, limiting Demin to stay under his points + assists prop.

Best NBA player prop bet: Shaedon Sharpe (POR) Under 22.5 points+assists (-125)
Odds available at BetMGM at time of publishing.
We’re sticking with the same market for our 2nd NBA player prop for the slate. The Trail Blazers vs Rockets matchup will feature two of the best defensive teams in the league. Both teams have multiple players who can guard 1-5, including half of the Rockets starting lineup. That points us in the direction of fading Shaedon Sharpe, who is coming off elite scoring games. He’ll have his hands full with Amen Thompson and the rest of the Rockets lengthy roster. This game points to Jrue Holiday and Deni Avdija having to carry the load for Portland as 7.5-point underdogs.
