Analyzing Victor Wembanyama player prop bet specials for the 2024-2025 NBA season

Is Victor Wembanyama poised for a historic season?

Player prop bets can be fun, especially when they are season-long specials. There’s nothing like having 82 chances for our chosen players to win us some money and, more importantly, validate our NBA hunches.

When it comes to a generational prospect like Victor Wembanyama, these player prop, season-special bets are all the more enticing.

The Pros and Cons of Wembanyama Player Prop Bets

Most of the current Wemby season long prop bets center around supremely high point and rebound totals, as well as the likelihood of him being able to nab a quadruple double. No one is questioning Wemby’s ability to score 50, or stuff a box score in a way that we haven’t seen since David Robinson.

The real question this season is, will coach Gregg Popovich, (or Chris Paul for that matter) empower Wemby to reach 50 or even 60 points in a game?

The Spurs Will Compete

Last season’s 22-win team allowed Wemby to learn on the fly, get his reps in, make mistakes and play basketball without a whole lot of pressure. In other words, Wemby was permitted to shoot 4-15 in a game without getting yanked. The Spurs’ win total line for the upcoming season though, is 36.5 wins, so the online betting community expects them to be a significantly improved team.

This season, however, looks to be more competitive. As such, makes it’s likely for a player such as Wemby to achieve any colossal box score benchmarks, namely in the scoring department. This is why we will err on the side of caution for some Wemby player prop bets for the upcoming season. The Spurs’ win total line for the upcoming season is set at 36.5 wins, so the online betting community expects them to be a significantly improved team as well.

As to why the Spurs will be more competitive? Young players such as Tre Jones, Devin Vassel, and Jeremy Sochan should keep improving. Point God Chris Paul has come in ostensibly to tutor Wemby, but he also plays to win. Harrison Barnes played 82 games and shot 38% from 3-point range in each of the last two seasons. And Wemby, after averaging a 21-10 in his rookie season, returns with high hopes for his sophomore season.

Victory Wembanyama prop bet specials

Here are seven prop bet specials that we like, offered by DraftKings Sportsbook.

Victor Wembanyama 20+ Rebounds in any 2024-25 Regular Season Game (+140)

This seems like a lock. He did it twice last year, and the only upcoming rebounding help he has this season alongside him is Zach Collins – not exactly a rebounding force.

Victor Wembanyama 25+ Rebounds in any 2024-25 Regular Season Game (+800)

Yes, the Spurs will be competitive this season, but rebounding jives well with hustle and competition. Popovich will not get in the way of Wemby nabbing his first 25 rebound game. At 8/1, this looks like a tasty bet.

Victor Wembanyama 30+ Rebounds in any 2024-25 Regular Season Game (+4000)

Generally speaking, any 40:1 bet is usually for suckers. But with Wemby, everything feels possible. Having said that, 30 rebounds in a game just doesn’t happen enough. 5 times in the last 25 years? This bet is a stay away.

Victor Wembanyama 50+ Points in any 2024-25 Regular Season Game (+160)

This feels tempting. No one doubts Wemby’s ability to score 50 in a given game. But with table setter Chris Paul slowing things down, as well as a lineup of players who can mostly shoot and score, this just feels like something that won’t happen naturally. Wemby’s game high last season was 40 and we expect a similar number this year.

Victor Wembanyama 55+ Points in any 2024-25 Regular Season Game (+700)

I know we just said to stay away from the tempting and totally possible Wemby 50 point game. But that was in return for a measly +160. I actually like this bet: if Wemby happens to score 50 in a game, we might as well roll the dice for 5 more points in return for much better odds. I will take this bet, but only with the change I find under the couch cushions.

Victor Wembanyama 60+ Points in any 2024-25 Regular Season Game (+2500)

Okay this is just getting out of hand. Wemby will certainly score 60 in a game – but it feels like a few years away. The 25/1 odds appear nice at first, but the list of guys who scored 60 in recent years are significantly older than the 20 year old Wemby. This is a stayaway.

Victor Wembanyama to Record a Quadruple Double in any 2024-25 Regular Season Game (+1200)

This might be the most compelling Wemby player prop season-special bet As mentioned, Wemby certainly has the ability to pull this off. And of course he is playing for the same franchise as the last guy to pull this off in David Robinson. 

Double digits points and rebounds in any game are a given. Steals aren’t happening; his game-high last year was six. As for blocks? Wemby had games with 10, 9, and 8 blocks in different games. He also had games with 10, 9, 9, and 8 assists. His closest quadruple double game last year was an astonishing 23 points, 15 rebounds, 9 blocks, and 8 assists. 

Again, this probably comes down to Coach Popovich’s staunchness to the game. Wemby can do it but, if he needs just one more assist to complete it, will Coach Pop and Chris Paul permit him to? I’d hope so. And at 12/ odds, I will bet on that hope. May the odds be in our favor.
