Best Nba Prop Bets Today (predictions For Jaylen Brown, Giannis, Victor Wembanyama)

There’s thing for illustration a 12-game slate pinch a ton of teams playing their play opener to get NBA fans and bettors into nan 2025-26 season.

On Wednesday, Oct. 22, location are 24 that will play their first crippled of nan season, and a ton of players to see betting connected successful nan prop market.

Early connected successful nan season, I’m looking to target immoderate prima players that person defined roles that whitethorn beryllium undervalued – aliases overvalued – by oddsmakers coming into nan campaign.

Boston Celtics prima Jaylen Brown stands retired arsenic 1 of those players connected Wednesday, arsenic he’s aiming to transportation a awesome scoring load pinch Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined to commencement nan season. 

Plus, Giannis Antetokounmpo finds himself successful a akin business successful Milwaukee, and he has a awesome matchup pinch nan Washington Wizards successful nan team’s opener.

Here’s a look astatine those props – and much – for Wednesday’s NBA action. 

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

Jaylen Brown OVER 24.5 Points (-109)

Brown could locomotion into a monolithic domiciled connected opening nighttime pinch nan Celtics looking to switch nan accumulation of Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday.

Translation: Brown is going to get each nan touches he tin handle.

Over his past 10 games pinch Tatum retired of nan lineup, Brown is averaging 24.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. While he averaged conscionable 22.2 points per crippled past season, Brown besides took his fewest shots per crippled since nan 2019-20 campaign. He did mean 26.6 points per crippled arsenic precocious arsenic nan 2022-23 season. 

He should run arsenic nan No. 1 action successful Boston’s offense, and I expect him to spot an uptick successful his shots per crippled this season. 

Victor Wembanyama OVER 2.5 3-Pointers Made (+109)

Earlier today, I shared successful my NBA Best Bets file – Peter’s Points – why I’m betting connected Wemby to clear this statement against Dallas: 

The humor clots are gone, and Wemby is backmost and fresh to liking his declare arsenic an All-NBA subordinate this season. 

Last season, Wemby averaged 3.1 made 3-pointers connected 8.8 attempts per crippled (shooting 35.2 percent), and I expect him to beryllium correct astir that measurement again successful nan 2025-26 play – particularly pinch De’Aaron Fox banged up. 

The erstwhile No. 1 wide prime went from taking 5.5 3-pointers per crippled arsenic a rookie to 8.8 past play and his 3-point percent improved from 32.5 percent to 35.2 percent. That’s a monolithic measurement guardant for a young subordinate attempting nan 3-ball astatine specified a precocious rate.

Dallas has a batch of options to take sides Wemby, but I’m not judge immoderate of them are genuinely going to extremity him from launching 3-pointers. If anything, each nan size Dallas has successful its frontcourt rotation whitethorn make Wemby much prone to attacking from beyond nan arc and avoiding each nan shot-blockers astatine nan rim. 

This statement is simply a bargain astatine positive money for a subordinate that attempts astir 9 shots from heavy per night.

Jalen Johnson OVER 8.5 Rebounds (-142)

One of nan young players that I’m highest connected this play is Atlanta Hawks guardant Jalen Johnson, and I deliberation he’s undervalued successful this matchup against Toronto. 

Last season, Johnson averaged 10.0 rebounds per crippled for Atlanta crossed 36 games, and he should still person a large domiciled connected nan solid successful nan Hawks rotation.

Kristaps Porzingis isn’t precisely a ascendant rebounder astatine nan halfway spot, and Johnson should play a ton of minutes arsenic Atlanta’s second-best subordinate entering this season. Last season, nan erstwhile first-round prime averaged 15.8 rebound chances per game.

This statement is simply a small low, and 1 that bettors should return advantage of connected Wednesday night. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 31.5 Points (-119)

Could an MVP play from Giannis beryllium connected nan measurement successful nan 2025-26 campaign? 

He’s going to person a overmuch bigger domiciled arsenic a ball-handler pinch Damian Lillard nary longer successful nan fold, and I deliberation that makes him an absorbing prop target connected Wednesday.

During nan 2024-25 season, Antetokounmpo only played 1 crippled against Washington wherever he cleared 20 minutes of playing time, and he promptly dropped 42 points connected 15-of-24 shooting successful that game.

A ton of work is going to autumn connected nan Bucks prima connected nan violative end, and he’s coming disconnected a 2024-25 play wherever he averaged 30.4 points per crippled while shooting 60.1 percent from nan field. Giannis averaged nan astir made section goals per crippled successful nan convention successful nan 2024-25 season.

Washington was 28th successful nan NBA successful protect standing past season, truthful I wouldn’t beryllium shocked to spot Giannis person a large crippled connected opening night.
