Friday’s Best NBA Player Props
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Kel'el Ware 11+ Rebounds (+107)
Kel'el Ware has been nothing short of an absolute force on the boards this season for the Heat. The second-year center is two games removed from a phenomenal 20-rebound performance in 34 minutes on the floor. While we don't expect Ware to hit 20 boards or 34 minutes in this contest, there's a very good reason to believe he will finish with at least 11 rebounds.
Ware is pulling down 9.6 rebounds per game, yet he has accumulated 45 rebounds over the previous three contests, with at least 11 boards in four out of the past five games. The Heat center is pulling down 14.3 rebounds per 36 minutes and has played at least 28 minutes in three out of the last four contests.
Ware started the season averaging 21 minutes over the first six games. Since then, his playing time has increased to over 28 minutes per game. An unfortunate toe injury to Bam Adebayo has created a tremendous opportunity for Ware. In the four games Adebayo has not been on the floor this season, Ware is averaging 12.75 rebounds.
Giannis Antetokounmpo 44+ Points + Rebounds (-123)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 33.4 points through seven games, while shooting 62.9% from the field and 50% from beyond the arc on 10 attempts. To add to the fantastic scoring, the veteran forward is grabbing 11.9 rebounds each contest. Antetokounmpo has combined for at least 44 points + rebounds in three out of the last five games.
The Bucks forward is dealing with discomfort in his knee. However, he is ready to go and is listed as probable as of this morning. Make sure to check the BettingPros App for all your up-to-date information regarding availability.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 32.8 points and 10.4 rebounds in the previous five games. The Milwaukee forward is averaging 35.6 and 11.2 rebounds when playing at home this season. He has combined for at least 44 points + rebounds in four out of five games played at Fiserv Forum.
Anthony Edwards Over 3.5 Three-Pointers Made (-136)
Since returning from a soft tissue injury, Anthony Edwards has failed to knock down four baskets from beyond the arc in just one out of four games. The Timberwolves guard finished with at least four made three-pointers in three consecutive contests. Edwards is shooting a very efficient 50% from above the perimeter, and has increased his attempts over the last three games from 6.5 three-pointers each contest to 8.3
The 24-year-old has knocked down 17 baskets from deep over the previous three games, while shooting 54% from three-point range. Edwards made five three-pointers against the Kings on November 9th in only 30 minutes on the floor.
Edwards has hit at least four baskets from beyond the perimeter in four out of the last five contests against Sacramento. He is averaging 4.6 three-pointers per game over that span.
Derrick Jones Jr. 10+ Points (-113)
Derrick Jones Jr. is averaging 10.5 points on the season, while shooting just below 56% from the field. Jones is also knocking down 1.4 baskets from beyond the perimeter per game. The veteran forward has scored 10+ points in two out of three games played on the road.
Dallas is allowing 114.7 points on the season, including 123 points in their last contest against Phoenix at home. Opponents are shooting 45.7% when playing the Mavericks in Dallas. Jones has scored at least 10 points in five out of the last seven games.
The Clippers forward is averaging 24.8 minutes on the floor this season. However, he has seen his playing time increase to at least 27 minutes in five out of the last seven games.
Steph Curry 26+ Points (-117)
Steph Curry showed out with a vengeance the last time the Warriors and Spurs met on Wednesday. He delivered a masterful performance, scoring 46 points in 34 minutes. That level of scoring may be difficult to repeat this evening. Having said that, we think he can stay within 20 points of his last outing for at least 26 points.
Curry has scored at least 26 points in five out of 10 games this season. The veteran guard finished with 26+ points in three out of the last five games, and has hit 19 baskets of the three-point variety over that span. Curry is averaging 27.7 points in six road games.
Curry recorded 30+ points in three out of the last five games against the Spurs. He is averaging 27.2 points on 46.9% shooting, with 4.4 three-pointers per game through the five contests. The Warriors will need their most prolific scorer to produce at least 26 points to keep up with the youthful exuberance of San Antonio. We feel it is certainly within the realm of possibilities.
Enjoy the games tonight and best of luck with your picks.
