NBA Player Props Bet Picks & Predictions: Friday (2/2)

Welcome to a 10-game NBA Friday slate. With LeBron James sitting out Thursday night, we recorded yet another sweep to continue a remarkable season. I know I have hammered this point home already so I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but staying up to date on NBA injury news is a fantastic way to stay sharp in the NBA betting landscape, whether it's prop betting or DFS. There are a fair amount of questionable tags tonight so be extra aware of who's in and who's out.

Let's get some winners heading into the weekend.

Friday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets

(All odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Unless specified otherwise, each bet will be a single unit | Last Time: 2-0 | Season: 92-60

Tyler Herro Over 29.5 Pts + Ast + Reb (-110)

In terms of easy bets to make, this ranks up there as one of them. The Wizards’ defense not only ranks third-to-last in the league but they also own the fastest pace, a vast pace-up spot for the second-slowest team in the NBA - the Miami Heat. Washington is the single worst defensive team against opposing shooting guards, and Herro is due for a bounce-back after averaging over 21 points, five rebounds, and four assists on the season. With Jordan Poole questionable, I only love this prop even more.

Bradley Beal 20+ alt points (+100)

Next on the list of easy bets to make, we have Beal taking on the Atlanta Hawks. With a game that has a total scratching of 250, I have to find some props to bet the Over on, and this is what I am zoning in on. The Hawks have allowed over 24 points a game to opposing shooting guards, the most in the league. Beal is playing with his nose injury and has shown his capacity for posting 20-plus points.

Brandon Miller Under 27.5 Pts + Ast + Reb (-120)

It is tempting to take Miller and his Over props after posting two consecutive 20-plus point efforts, but this is the time to sell his stock on the road in Oklahoma City. Despite the pace-up spot for Charlotte, the Alabama product will still be going against a top-five defense on the road. The Thunder have allowed fewer tan 20 points a game to opposing forwards (the lowest in the league) and I trust their defense. Miller is improving as a player and coming into his own but now is not the game to take his overs.

Paolo Banchero Under 32.5 Pts + Ast + Reb (-105)

For another young star to fade, this is a choice I am comfortable with. On the road, against the number one defense, as a 7.5-point underdog with a total of 212? Yes, please. Sign me up twice, especially at the offered odds. Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert will wreak havoc on the Duke product and after some recent impressive outings, Banchero's line is overinflated. This game screams under from any angle you look at.
