Friday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook

Mikal Bridges Under 34.5 Pts + Ast + Reb (-120 DraftKings)

Despite his combo line, Bridges is projected to be here with around 30 combo points, rebounds, and assists. Facing Atlanta at home is a good reason for this prop to be quite high, but I can’t imagine this line sitting at 34.5, and to get the line at -120 is perfect.

Bridges has been vastly outperforming expectations, averaging 28.5 points per game in the last two weeks after allowing averaging 20 points per game this entire season. He’s out-rebounded and out-assisted his seasonal total of late too.

It may be tempting to take the over here, but the under is the play, and I’ll be putting one unit on it.

Karl-Anthony Towns Over 7.5 rebounds (-115 DraftKings)

Obviously, Towns is probable for tonight, so remember to track the injury status tonight. After coming back from injury, Towns has gone over 7,5 boards only once, but his line is down since his return, even though he should be getting a lot more respect.

Towns has gone over 7.5 boards in nine of the last 15 games, and he’s averaged eight a game this season too. The Lakers aren’t a great rebounding team either, and with Towns’ prop under what I’d project it out, I’m throwing a unit on this bet.

Domantas Sabonis Over 33.5 Pts + Ast + Reb (-125 DraftKings)

Sabonis has gone over his combo prop total in 12 of his last 15 games. He’s been consistently hot over the last two months of play, and Portland’s 27th-ranked defense won’t do too much to stop Sabonis in the frontcourt.

Especially considering Watford is questionable, and Eubanks is expected to start in the five spot, I feel solid about this one. Sabonis has averaged 20 points per game in the last two months with 12.5 rebounds and seven assists. Simply staying with his average play would put him over, and Portland is not an intimidating team I’m afraid of. I’ll be throwing one unit on this prop.
