Wednesday’s NBA player prop bet predictions
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Houston Rockets C Christian Wood OVER 1.5 threes made (-125)
The Rockets play the Oklahoma City Thunder in their second straight game with the first one being a Houston 136-106 whooping Monday. Wood was 2-of-3 from behind the arc vs. the Thunder and has sunk at least two 3-pointers in four of his last five appearances.
While Wood attempting only three 3-pointers is concerning, this is a great matchup for him because opposing centers are shooting 50% from three vs. Oklahoma City, which is the highest mark in the league.
Furthermore, Wood is 13th in effective field goal percentage and has double his attempts of 3-points per game since last season. Also, Rockets PG John Wall‘s absence in Wednesday’s game should mean more offensive responsibility for Wood.

Sacramento Kings PG De’Aaron Fox UNDER 24.5 points (-125)
Fox has been ballin’ lately and really carrying Sacramento, scoring 28.3 points per game on 49.3% shooting in his last seven games. However, there’s value in fading Fox and I think the market agrees since Fox’s Under on his points prop is more expensive than the Over.
Also, the Kings host one of the best defensive teams in the NBA — Boston Celtics — Wednesday and Fox has struggled vs. the Celtics early in his career. He is averaging 13 points per game with a 97 offensive rating in his four career games against Boston.
Finally, the Celtics have done a good job all season guarding point guards and allow the third-fewest points per game out of point guards. Even though Boston is missing elite defensive guard Marcus Smart, they are well-coached enough to make someone else besides Fox beat them on the Kings.
Suns C Deandre Ayton OVER 13.5 rebounds (+115)
I always like to mix in a plus-money prop if I can find one and this could be a great matchup for Ayton if Pelicans’ C Steven Adams sits out this game.
First of all, Ayton is one of the best rebounders in the Association. He’s fifth in both total rebounding and defensive rebounding percentages and 11th in offensive rebounding percentage.
Second, Ayton gathered 12 boards in the first Suns-Pelicans meeting this season even with Adams out there despite playing more than five minutes less than his season average. The reason being Phoenix was up 39 points entering the fourth quarter and rested all its starters.
It’s hard to imagine this game being more lopsided and, with no Adams present, Ayton should feast on rebounds.
