We went 1-for-2 in Thursday’s edition of our daily NBA player props, with Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II pulling down 11 rebounds and coming through at plus money.

Here are today’s top recommendations for a loaded ten-game slate.

Note: All odds and props courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

PHI Kelly Oubre Jr. OVER 20.5 Points (-120) @ Toronto Raptors

Oubre scored 21 points in Wednesday’s season-opening loss to the Bucks and will again see an increased offensive role with Paul George and Joel Embiid sidelined due to injury.
The Raptors ranked 25th defensively last season and allowed 136 points in their season/home opener against the Cavaliers.

For those bettors in Pennsylvania, there are many sportsbook options and promo offers.

NO Zion Williamson OVER 25.5 Points (-111) @ Portland Trail Blazers

Williamson will return to the lineup after missing the Pelicans’ season opener due to an illness.
Clearly, in the best shape of his career, I expect the former first-overall pick to dominate a Blazers defense that is fresh off allowing 140 points at home to the Golden State Warriors.
Williamson scored at least 26 points in 13 of his final 19 games last season (68%).

For those bettors in Louisiana, there are many sportsbook options and promo offers.
