Biggest Props & NBA Betting Situations – Friday, Nov. 21

Props and lines to keep an eye on!

Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls

This game has a whopping 249.5 total! You know the OG players from 30-40 years ago cannot believe the lack of defense in today’s NBA. Both teams play top-10 pace. Both teams allow 120+ PPG defensively. This is a track meet. Norman Powell is getting 26+ points. Josh Giddey is running the floor. Jaime Jaquez is attacking downhill. Bam is back, but he’s not slowing this down.

Nikola Jokic Higher/Lower Than 51.5 PRA

Denver’s offense is rolling at 124.6 PPG. Jokic is the engine. Against Houston’s interior, Alperen Sengun is decent, but we’re talking about a three-time MVP who can operate from anywhere on the floor — post, midrange, high pick-and-roll.

Devin Booker Higher/Lower Than 28.5 Points

Booker’s sitting at 27.8 PPG season average, and he’s been scorching hot in November at 28.7 PPG, but Minnesota’s defense is finally rounding into form, ranking 12th in defensive efficiency, per Hollinger.
