A jam-packed Sunday in the NBA features 11 games and some of the league’s top stars in action as Nikola Jokic, LaMelo Ball, and Anthony Edwards each take the floor for their respective teams.
Joker's dominant rebounding has caught my attention, and I’ll also look for Ball and Edwards to continue shooting the lights out from long range in my NBA player props and NBA picks for Sunday, November 10.

NBA player props for November 10
Prop bet #1: Nikola Jokic 13+ rebounds
Nikola Jokic is unsurprisingly off to another hot start this season, averaging 28.9 points per game to go along with a league-leading 11.3 assists and 13.2 rebounds. Joker’s dominant rebounding caught my attention in tonight’s game between the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks as I foresee a mismatch in the paint.
Jokic has logged at least 10 boards in seven of nine games this season and 12+ rebounds in five of those contests, including three of his last four. The Nuggets star could be poised for another big game on the glass as he tips off against Mavs center Daniel Gafford.
At 6-foot-10, Gafford is giving only an inch of height to the 6-foot-11 Joker, but he hasn’t been quite as reliable at snagging rebounds. Gafford is averaging just six boards per game — fourth-best on Dallas.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks’ top center off the bench, 7-foot-1 Dereck Lively II, is doubtful for Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury.
That leaves Dallas with a weakness on the glass for Jokic to exploit, and even 15 boards at +180 doesn’t feel like that much of a stretch.
Prop bet #2: LaMelo Ball Over 4.5 threes
LaMelo Ball has always been an elite three-point shooter but the Charlotte Hornets point guard looks to be taking yet another step this season, averaging 4.7 threes per game — second-best in the NBA.
Ball has drained five treys in each of his last two games while hitting that mark in four of his last five contests. LaMelo hasn’t been shy to pull the trigger at all and that was especially on display against the Pacers on Friday as he logged a season-high 18 attempts from beyond the arc.
His 12.4 three-point attempts per game are by far the most in the league this season and he’s thrown up at least 12 shots from long range in seven of his nine appearances.
The shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers have obviously been dreadful this season at 1-7 and it should come as no surprise that they’ve struggled at defending the three — something that bodes well for Ball.
Opponents are shooting 40.4% from three-point range against Philly — the highest rate in the NBA — while the 76ers also rank 25th in defensive efficiency.
Prop bet #3: Anthony Edwards Over 4.5 threes
There’s only one player that’s made more three-pointers per game than LaMelo Ball this season and that’s Anthony Edwards, who leads the pack with 50 treys or a mindboggling 5.6 per game. For reference, Steph Curry has only finished a season with 5+ threes per game on three occasions.
Needless to say, the Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard is on fire and he’s coming into Sunday’s contest on the heels of a season-high 37 points and 9-for-15 performance from three-point range.
Edwards has benefited from playing with first-year Timberwolves point forward Julius Randle, who’s been able to collapse the defense and find the open man up top. That’s translated into Edwards taking a career-high 11.6 three-point attempts per game – about four more than his career average.
Like the lowly 76ers, the Heat have also struggled to defend the three, with opponents scoring on 37.7% of their attempts from downtown (26th). Miami will also be without Jimmy Butler (ankle) tonight, which only hurts their already porous defense.
