NBA player prop picks and King of the Court predictions - December 4
Wednesday nights are always a treat for NBA fans, and this week’s slate offers plenty of action. DraftKings’ King of the Court promotion highlights the evening and adds more excitement for player prop bettors. By placing a qualifying bet on any pre-match NBA player prop market, you could win a share of $1 million in bonus bets if your chosen player leads the league in Points + Rebounds + Assists (P+R+A) for the night.
We’ve selected three standout prop bets to target for 12/4 that could not only cash but also give you a shot at claiming the King of the Court crown. Whether you’re betting on Franz Wagner’s passing prowess, Clint Capela’s rebounding dominance or Jayson Tatum’s scoring ability, these picks tie perfectly into DraftKings' exciting promotion.
NBA Player Prop Predictions: Wednesday, 12/4
Franz Wagner Over 6.5 Assists (-110)
Clint Capela Over 9.5 Rebounds (+100)
Jayson Tatum Over 26.5 Points (-115)
Franz Wagner Over 6.5 Assists (-110)
Franz Wagner has been in outstanding form, stepping up for the Orlando Magic in the absence of Paolo Banchero. In the 18 games without Banchero, Wagner has been a complete playmaker, averaging 5.9 assists alongside his scoring and rebounding contributions. What makes Wagner particularly appealing tonight is the matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Despite his height and scoring ability, Wagner’s passing has been a highlight lately, hitting 6+ assists in his last 11 games. He’s cleared the 6.5 mark in six of those contests, including a six-assist outing in the Magic’s earlier season meeting with the 76ers. Although that game was low-scoring, tonight’s back-to-back scenario could lead to more offensive opportunities as both teams may rely on fast breaks and transition plays.
Wagner’s ability to generate assists puts him in the running for a strong P+R+A performance. With Joel Embiid potentially out for Philadelphia, Wagner should find plenty of chances to dish out assists and could be a dark horse for King of the Court honors.
Clint Capela Over 9.5 Rebounds (+100)
Clint Capela is one of the most reliable rebounders in the league, and tonight’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks is set up perfectly for him to dominate the glass. The Bucks are playing the second game of a back-to-back, a situation that tends to affect their rebounding energy. On the other hand, Capela enters this game rested and coming off a monster 17-rebound performance.
While Capela averages 9.2 rebounds per game on the season, he has cleared 10+ boards in seven of his last 10 games, including three straight games with 13 or more rebounds. This run of dominance bodes well against a Bucks team that ranks last in offensive rebounding and often struggles to secure second-chance opportunities. Additionally, Capela’s 3.5 offensive rebounds per game mean he could rack up extra possessions for the Hawks, further boosting his numbers.
Although Capela’s scoring and assists are not significant enough to make him a frontrunner for King of the Court, his rebounding should anchor a solid performance. At +100 odds, this is a great value bet for bettors looking for a reliable pick.
Jayson Tatum Over 26.5 Points (-115)
Few players in the NBA can match Jayson Tatum’s ability to take over a game, and tonight’s matchup against the Detroit Pistons is tailor-made for him to shine. The Celtics enter this game rested, while the Pistons are on the second night of a back-to-back. Tatum thrives in situations like this, where he can exploit tired legs on the opposing side.
The last time Tatum faced Detroit, he torched them for 37 points, and we like his chances to deliver another strong scoring performance tonight. Detroit struggles to defend the three-point line, allowing the third-worst opponent three-point percentage in the league. With Tatum averaging a career-high 10.6 three-point attempts per game, he’s poised to capitalize from deep.
While Tatum’s scoring can fluctuate from game to game, his all-around contributions make him a serious contender for King of the Court. He has averaged 28.4 points per game this season and has recorded 8+ rebounds in nine straight games, ensuring he consistently stuffs the stat sheet. If Tatum’s shot is falling, he’s among the most likely candidates to lead the NBA in P+R+A tonight, making him an excellent target for DraftKings’ promotion.
