    Biggest Props and NBA Betting Situations – Wednesday, Nov. 19

    Nikola Jokic Over/Under 27.5 Points (Nuggets @ Pelicans, 8:00 PM ET)

    Jokic is facing a Pelicans team that’s 2-12 and on a 6-game losing streak. Zion is out. New Orleans has zero interior defense. Jokic is going to absolutely feast. But a possible blowout?

    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over/Under 32.5 Points (Kings @ Thunder, 8:00 PM ET)

    OKC is 14-1 (best record in NBA). Sacramento is 3-11 (worst in West) and on a 6-game losing streak. Shai is on a 7-1 home record. The Kings are completely overmatched. 

    Donovan Mitchell Over/Under 27.5 Points (Cavaliers vs Rockets, 7:00 PM ET)

    Mitchell is at home (Cavs 6-3 at Quicken Loans Arena). Houston is 9-3 but Mitchell is elite at home. He’s averaging big numbers, and the Cavs need this win to stay close to Detroit. 

    DFS Projections for DraftKings & PrizePicks

    Let’s analyze some of the NBA DFS projections for today.
