The NBA returns with a full slate of games on Wednesday, November 4, after no games on Tuesday. The schedule features a nationally televised doubleheader with the Detroit Pistons visiting the Philadelphia 76ers and the Dallas Mavericks facing the San Antonio Spurs.
Ahead of the action, the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates each NBA game 10,000 times, has identified two player prop bets as top plays for the day. The model has returned nearly $19,000 in profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks since 2018, including five straight seasons of four-digit profit, and enters Week 3 of the 2026-27 season on a 26-11 (70%) run on top-rated spread picks.
Paul Reed Over 21.5 points + rebounds (-112): With Jalen Duren sidelined by a hamstring injury, Reed is expected to handle the bulk of the minutes at center for Detroit. The matchup against a strong 76ers team should keep the game competitive for 48 minutes, meaning Reed is unlikely to be rested late. The SportsLine props model projects Reed to total 25.1 points plus rebounds.
Kyrie Irving Over 19.5 points (-123): The Mavericks face a tough defensive test in San Antonio, but Irving should have enough opportunity to clear the line. Unless Dallas is blown out, Irving should remain on the floor deep into the fourth quarter. His explosiveness allows him to attack the basket when Victor Wembanyama is on the bench. The model projects Irving for 22.7 points.
