Which of these NBA player props is most likely of hitting the over?

Based on their averages from last year, all three of these NBA player props are capable of hitting the over. That said, there are multiple new factors at play this season.

Of these three props, Joel Embiid is most likely to hit the over. He is fresh off leading the league in scoring, and is the lone star for his team. The Philadelphia 76ers big man will surely want to start the year on the right foot following another drama-filled offseason.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was another one of the league's top scorers, but his touches are likely to change this year. Now that the Milwaukee Bucks have acquired another superstar in Damain Lillard, there is another superstar in the mix.

Since this will be their first regular season game together, the two of them are still figuring out a way to co-exist on the floor. Because of this, Giannis' high point total could be considered a risky bet.

In year 21, LeBron James is still capable of scoring 20 points per game. That said, it appears the Lakers have a plan for him in regards to his workload.

On opening night, LeBron was pulled after roughly 29 minutes of action. After the game, head coach Darvin Ham cited it could be the new norm for the star forward this season.

With less time on the floor, LeBron's overall production is sure to see a slight deep. Until he's played with this new minutes load consistenly, he will be a tough player to bet on.
