Best Wembanyama prop bet

Best bet: Under 15.5 points (-118)

This is a line Wembanyama routinely blew by in his rookie NBA season, but I think it’s far too high against Team USA.

The 7-foot-4 phenom has looked his age in France’s last two matchups.

He scored seven points on 2-of-10 shooting against Canada and followed that up with 11 points on 4-of-17 shooting against Germany.

You could argue that he should go over this line if he keeps the volume up. But the Americans are loaded with show-stopping defenders like Anthony Davis and Bam Adebayo.

Wembanyama is going to be the focal point of Steve Kerr’s defensive game plan and I expect him to be double-teamed at all times.

That should open up shots for the rest of France’s team, which makes the over on his 3.5 assist total (-139) another intriguing option.

If other French players are open, so be it. But I would be shocked to see the USA give Wembanyama any easy, uncontested looks.

Key stat: Wembanyama has gone under this total in three straight games.

Pick as of 10:55 a.m. ET on 08/09/2024.
