NBA player props for Friday, Nov. 13
James Harden Over 24.5 points + assists (-107)
Victor Wembanyama Over 11.5 rebounds (-135)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 points (-108)
James Harden Over 24.5 points + assists
It's been a rough start to the season for Harden, who is shooting 39% from the floor. However, the Cavaliers will be without Evan Mobley for Friday's matchup against the Heat and they'll need somebody to make up that production. Harden is averaging 16.7 points and 5.6 assists per game, but he's coming off a huge 32-point outing against the Knicks. Harden is projected for 28.4 points + assists in SportsLine's props model.
Victor Wembanyama Over 11.5 rebounds
The Warriors are one of the better teams at preventing opponents from grabbing rebounds, but Wembanyama is a different beast. The Spurs big man is averaging 11.7 rebounds per game this season and while he has gone Over this line just twice in the last six games, two of his Unders were at 11 rebounds. The SportsLine props model has Wemby at 12.1 rebounds on Friday.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 points

No. 4 UConn (3-0) hosts Ohio State (2-1) at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut, on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET. UConn is a 12.5-point favorite with the over/under at 147.5. SportsLine's model projects Ohio State to cover in 52% of simulations and the Over to hit in 60.1% of simulations.

The SportsLine Projection Model gives Houston a 75% win probability.
