It’s Hump Day, which means the workweek is crossing the halfway point. But fear not, the NBA is back in session, and we’ve got the best betting picks to get you through the back half of the week.

There were numerous blowouts in the NBA In-Season Tournament matchups last night, while Nikola Jokic’s 38-point double-double led the Denver Nuggets past the Golden State Warriors in one of the most competitive matchups of the night.

The New York Knicks also sent a warning shot to the rest of the Eastern Conference as they easily dissected the Orlando Magic’s outstanding defense and put the game to rest before the third quarter was halfway over.

Here are our best NBA bets for Wednesday night.

Best NBA Prop Bets for Wednesday, December 4

Taurean Prince Over 1.5 Threes (-136) at FanDuel

All of the noise coming out of Milwaukee involves Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard (more on him in a moment), or Doc Rivers… but Prince is having himself quite an incredible season shooting the ball, having made a whopping 56.6 percent of his three-point shots through 20 games.

Prince cannot sustain this level of production, but he can go over his line on Wednesday. He went over in five straight games and gets to face the Atlanta Hawks, who allow their opponents to make more threes than any team in the league and to shoot 38.5 percent from deep, also the highest in the league.

Damian Lillard Over 3.5 Rebounds (-140) at FanDuel

Getting guard rebound lines can sometimes come down to matchups and whether the opponent takes lots of threes, which leads to long rebounds, injuries, desperation, etc. None of that applies to Lillard, who seems to fly under the radar every time he’s on the court.

Lillard beat this line in 14 of his 17 appearances this season. The Hawks also rank 23rd in rebounds conceded to opponents per game and have a small player (Trae Young) who will be in Lillard’s general vicinity when shots go up, which means that he should have a straight path to the ball.

James Harden Under 31.5 Points+Assists (-115) at FanDuel

Don’t be fooled by Sunday’s 29-point, 11-assist performance. Harden is still well past his physical prime and is a prime candidate to go under this line on Wednesday, just like he did in 10 of 13 home games and in 16 of 18 games since the start of November.

The Clips are taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves, who allow the third-fewest assists per game and the seventh-fewest points per game. Harden came close but still went under in his only matchup with the Wolves thus far, registering 20 points and 11 assists on 35 percent shooting from the field and 33.3 percent from three.

Bam Adebayo Over 4.5 Assists (-148) at FanDuel

The Los Angeles Lakers have had one of the worst defenses in the league all year and allowed their opponents to rack up 28.3 assists per game, the fourth-highest mark in basketball, on 48.1 percent shooting, which ranks 26th of 30 teams.

Adebayo went over this line in six straight games and is going to have LA’s best defender, Anthony Davis, right in his grill, taking away his options as a scorer but opening them up as a facilitator. He played two games against the Toronto Raptors, who have similar metrics to the Lakers, in the last week and went for 10 and seven assists.

Tyrese Haliburton Under 3.5 Rebounds (-125) at FanDuel

It doesn’t take a therapist or a sports psychologist to understand that Haliburton is struggling mentally with his unimpressive performances thus far. Hopefully, those will come to an end after his 30-point explosion his last time out, but he looks much less aggressive than he used to and has worse numbers than he did last year across the board despite playing more minutes per game.

Haliburton averaged 3.4 boards per game and went under in 10 of his last 13 outings. The Brooklyn Nets conceded the ninth-fewest rebounds per game and trust their bench, which is filled with wings that are active on the glass.
