Zach Edey has been a monster on the glass lately, and his rebounding prop is my favourite NBA player prediction for Sunday’s action.
Today’s NBA props narrative: Edey faces a shorthanded Sacramento Kings squad, which is about as compelling a matchup as you can ask for. Elsewhere, Donovan Clingan is worth fading against the NBA’s top defence.
Check out my top NBA prop picks for Nov. 30, featuring a prediction on Devin Vassell.

NBA prop picks Nov. 30
Best bet: Edey over 11.5 rebounds (-106)
Listed at 7-foot-3 and 305 pounds, Edey is one of the biggest players in the NBA. As you might expect, that means he has one of the highest ceilings as a rebounder on a night-to-night basis.
The recent results speak for themselves:
- Nov. 22: 26 minutes, 15 rebounds
- Nov. 24: 6 minutes, 1 rebound
- Nov. 26: 35 minutes, 15 rebounds
- Nov. 28: 32 minutes, 19 rebounds
-> Bet on Canada’s Zach Edey vs. the Kings tonight!
In the six-minute effort, Edey left early with a migraine and did not return.
But even with that game included, the second-year centre averaged more than a rebound every two minutes during this four-game span.
The fact that he played 30+ minutes in back-to-back games is also noteworthy, given that Edey began the year on the shelf recovering from ankle surgery. He didn’t debut until the Grizzlies’ 14th game (Nov. 15).
Edey, a Toronto native, played around 25 minutes in his first three games and went under this rebounding total in each of them. But he seems to be back to full go now.
And that’s bad news for the Kings, who won’t have Domantas Sabonis out there to challenge Edey tonight. Sabonis, the NBA’s three-time reigning rebounding champ, is sidelined with a knee injury.
The Kings have the lowest rebounding rate in the NBA (46.5%). Edey should be able to dominate, especially with Sabonis out.
Key stat: Sacramento is allowing the third-most rebounds per game to opposing centres (16.39), per Fantasy Pros.
Best NBA picks
Vassell under 2.5 threes (-125): It’s not fun to fade a guy who’s in a groove, but that’s exactly what I’m doing here with Vassell.
- The sixth-year wing has gone over 2.5 threes in four straight games and is shooting 40.3% from deep this season.
- He has 3+ threes in seven of his past 11 games, averaging 2.8 makes on 6.2 attempts in that span (45.6 3PT%).
-> Bet on Spurs vs. Timberwolves here!
So why fade him? The matchup, mostly.
Vassell faces the Minnesota Timberwolves, who allow the sixth-fewest 3-point makes and attempts per game in the NBA.
The T-wolves also allow the sixth-lowest 3PT% on non-corner triples (33.2%), per Cleaning The Glass.
Vassell primarily shoots his 3-pointers from the non-corner area, so I don’t expect him to thrive on his standard shot diet. Among all shots he takes, 39% are non-corner 3s (compared to just 13% as corner 3s).
In the six games with Victor Wembanyama, Vassell has only attempted 5.7 threes per game. He’s been cashing them at a high rate, but that volume isn’t enough for me to expect another over in this matchup.
NBA player prop predictions
Clingan under 9.5 points (-130): This will be Clingan’s third time facing the Oklahoma City Thunder this year, and based on how the first two matchups went, taking the under here looks like the right play.
In the games on Nov. 5 and Nov. 23, Clingan shot a combined 4-for-12 and scored 15 points. He went under this total both times.
-> Bet on Sunday’s 8-game NBA slate
In fairness to him, it’s a brutal matchup any time you have to face OKC. The defending champs have the best defensive rating in the NBA (103.4), and they allow the fewest points per game (106.3).
Against centres in particular, the Thunder allow the second-fewest PPG among all teams.
Clingan has hit this under in 12 of 19 games overall, and it’d make sense for that trend to continue in such a daunting matchup.
