NBA player props for Wednesday, Oct. 28

LeBron James Over 30.5 PRA vs. Pacers (-117)

The NBA's all-time leading scorer has exceeded this line in two of the four games he's played for the 76ers. James could have more freedom to operate on Wednesday with Ivica Zubac out for the Pacers and Tyrese Haliburton and Andrew Nembhard both questionable. The SportsLine props model has LeBron projected for 36.1 PRA on Wednesday. Bet on NBA player props with the Caesars Sportsbook promo code CBSSPORTSBR250 and get $250 in bet resets:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 42.5 PRA vs. Mavericks

The two-time reigning MVP will have to carry quite a heavy burden on Wednesday against the Mavs. Gilgeous-Alexander will be operating without Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace after their injuries earlier this week, while Alex Caruso, Chet Holmgren and Thomas Sorber will also be out on Wednesday. That means the ball should be in SGA's hands early and often in Dallas. The SportsLine props model projects Gilgeous-Alexander for a whopping 59.7 PRA on Wednesday.
