Keith Eyster's top NBA prop bets for 10/29/25: expert player-prop picks, value plays, quick model edges and line-shopping tips for today’s slate. Check odds & get the edge.
Welcome back to another edition of the RotoBaller NBA Props article! We’re off to a fantastic start this season, as another 4-1 slate on Monday pushes the overall record to 16-6 across the first four write-ups. With the fifth installment ready to roll, we’ve identified several strong value spots on tonight’s board.
It’s a loaded 10-game NBA slate this evening, headlined by some intriguing injury storylines. Zion Williamson leads the way on the report as the Pelicans star hopes to make his return for a matchup against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. Meanwhile, Jalen Green could make his season debut for his new team in Phoenix, adding even more intrigue to an already exciting night of basketball.
In this article, I will provide my favorite NBA player props picks for Wednesday, October 29th. Prop picks can range from individual stats such as points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, or defensive stats, as well as combination props (Points + Rebounds + Assists = PRA). All odds and sportsbooks used are listed as well, but always shop around, as those odds change throughout the day as bets come in. Let's get to the picks!
Today’s Best NBA Prop Bets & Player Props
Early-season NBA player props present a prime opportunity for bettors to get ahead of oddsmakers, capitalizing on new trends, unexpected rotations, and shifts in play style from last season. With teams still settling into their identities, sharp bettors can often find mispriced lines before the markets adjust.
Let’s take a look at the top player props for today’s NBA slate:
- Anthony Davis over 11.5 Rebounds (-128 DK)
- Pascal Siakam over 37.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120 DK)
- Jrue Holiday over 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-106 DK)
- D'Angelo Russell over 12.5 Points (-114 FD)
- Russell Westbrook over 19.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-118 FD)
Anthony Davis over 11.5 Rebounds (-128 DK)
The Mavericks are expected to be without centers Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford once again, putting Anthony Davis in a prime position to dominate the glass. Davis has pulled down double-digit rebounds in all four games this season, averaging 11.8 per game and clearing this line in two of them. This matchup sets up well for him against an Indiana team missing several key players and struggling to make shots. In their last outing, the Pacers shot just 42.9% from the field, allowing Rudy Gobert to haul in 18 rebounds while Naz Reid added 10 of his own.
With Dallas off to a 1-3 start, Davis should continue logging heavy minutes — he’s averaging 35.8 per game — and remain heavily involved on both ends. Given Indiana’s shorthanded roster and poor shooting, Davis is in an excellent spot to control the boards and record at least 12 rebounds in this matchup.
Pascal Siakam over 37.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-108 DK)
The Pacers have been decimated by injuries to start the season. Tyrese Haliburton was already expected to miss the year, and T.J. McConnell went down during the preseason. Since the regular season began, Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, and Obi Toppin have all suffered injuries in the first three games. That’s left Pascal Siakam as the clear focal point of Indiana’s offense, and he delivered in a major way against Minnesota.
The 31-year-old star erupted for 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists, almost single-handedly keeping the Pacers competitive. It was a welcome rebound after a 25-point blowout loss to Memphis. The formula for Indiana is simple — keep the offense running through Siakam.
With injuries piling up, the Pacers need Pascal Siakam to do the sort of carry-the-team things he hasn't had to do since he was in Toronto. He responded with 33 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in Sunday's closer-than-expected loss: https://t.co/OnfJPkKJGB

He posted a 34.3% usage rate and 42.8% assist rate against Minnesota, elite numbers that should continue until the Pacers get healthy. Against Dallas, who rank 10th in pace and 13th in defensive efficiency, Siakam is well-positioned to clear his PRA line again.
Top Value Props & Sleeper Picks
Betting on superstars is always exciting, but the best value often lies on the margins of a roster. Role players and emerging contributors can offer hidden edges, especially as the season wears on and injuries start to shake up rotations.
Let’s dive into some of the top value plays for today’s NBA slate.
Jrue Holiday over 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-106 DK)
Oddsmakers have been slow to adjust to Jrue Holiday’s impact with his new team. The veteran guard is averaging 17.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 7.8 assists in 31.5 minutes per game, anchoring a Blazers squad that has started 2-2 and looks poised to take a step forward this season. Portland is playing at a fast pace and defending well, with Holiday setting the tone on both ends of the floor.
Jrue Holiday this season:
- 17.8 PPG
- 5.5 RPG
- 7.8 APG
- 48/39/78 Shooting Splits
- 1.3 SPGUncle Jrue is the ultimate stabilizing force and worth every penny of the contract everyone was so worried about pic.twitter.com/3Jip5T2Rpd

Tonight, they travel to Salt Lake City to face the Jazz in a favorable matchup. Utah ranked last in defensive efficiency a season ago, and while they’ve shown some improvement early on, they still sit just 14th. With the offense running through him, Holiday should continue to thrive as both a scorer and playmaker. Given his consistency and all-around production, he’s in an excellent position to clear his PRA line once again.
D'Angelo Russell over 12.5 Points (-114 FD)
The Mavericks have been trying to fill the void left by Kyrie Irving’s injury by turning to first overall pick Cooper Flagg at point guard. However, that experiment has largely fallen flat, as Dallas has stumbled to a 1-3 start and now appears ready to explore other options. One of those could be D’Angelo Russell, who has recently seen a sharp uptick in playing time. After logging just 24 total minutes across the first two games, the veteran guard has averaged 29.5 minutes over the past two contests.
Russell erupted for 24 points on 8-of-18 shooting against Toronto, then followed it up with 9 points on 3-of-14 from the field in 30 minutes last game. The encouraging part is the volume — his role and shot attempts are trending in the right direction. Tonight, he faces a shorthanded Indiana backcourt dealing with multiple injuries, putting him in a strong spot to clear his 12.5-point line if his shooting efficiency normalizes.
Russell Westbrook over 19.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-118 FD)
Russell Westbrook’s role in Sacramento has grown significantly since his late offseason signing, and he’s making the most of it. He averaged just 18 minutes per game in his first two outings, then saw that jump to 27 minutes off the bench in his third game, before starting and playing 30 minutes last night. Even if he returns to a mid-20s bench role, this PRA line is too low.
Russell Westbrook tonight:
16 Points
9 Rebounds
4 Assists
4/8 3PM

Westbrook has never hesitated to take shots and can always fill up the stat sheet. In a limited role with Denver last season, he averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists — totaling 24.3 PRA. This season, he’s expected to play at least a similar role with Sacramento, and in his last two games with the Kings, he’s averaged 29.5 PRA. Tonight’s matchup against Chicago, who rank seventh-fastest in pace this season after finishing second-fastest last year, only enhances his upside. Even if his performance isn’t as dominant as last game, there’s still plenty of room for him to comfortably clear this PRA line.
