Friday's Best NBA Player Prop Picks
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
P.J. Washington 7+ Rebounds (-128)
We open up the night with a rebounding prop that comes from necessity due to the limited options for Dallas this evening. PJ Washington has fared well when playing against Minnesota, and will no doubt be on the floor for over 30 minutes if this contest can stay competitive going into the fourth quarter.
PJ Washington is averaging 7.0 rebounds through the 2025-2026 campaign. Washington experiences a slight uptick when playing on the road, grabbing 7.3 boards each contest . The veteran forward has met the requirement of seven rebounds or more in two out of three games with Cooper Flagg not on the floor.
The forward for Dallas has accumulated 7.0 rebounds in the previous six games against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Washington is pulling down 7.2 boards through the six contests played. Given the recent success against the Timberwolves, we feel Washington finishes this game with seven rebounds or more.
Ryan Rollins 6+ Rebounds (+122)
This selection represents our largest return, and one that also involves a current streak against the Western Conference. Ryan Rollins has fared very well in the rebounding department when facing a Western opponent when playing, which is exactly what instills the most confidence on this option.
Rollins comes into this contest averaging just under 1.5 fewer rebounds on the season than tonight's asking price. However, when facing an opponent from the Western Conference, Rollins is putting up 5.4 rebounds over the last 10 matchups. The young guard has recorded at least six rebounds in the previous five contests when playing on the road against a team in the Western Conference.
You can opt for the standard 4.5 rebounds, which is currently at -150. Given the above mentioned information we wouldn't fault you in the least for playing it safe. Having said that, we are okay with this ambitious selection that delivers a very solid plus return.
Carlton "Bub" Carrington 2+ Three-Pointers (-123)
The line on Bub Carrington was at 2.5 Three-Pointers before the break, and we were fortunate enough to bag a few wins playing the Under. That total has now dipped to 1.5 Three-Point makes, leaving us in quite the prime spot against an opponent that Carrington has had quite the successful stretch against. This is a literal back-to-back matchup with the Pacers and Wizards playing last night in Washington.
Carrington connects on 2.1 baskets from beyond the arc on the season. The young guard also hits a steady two shots from deep when playing on the road on 40.6% shooting. Carrington has made at least two three-pointers in seven out of the last 10 games played on the road.
The guard for the Wizards is in a great spot in this contest. Carrington has knocked down at least two three-pointers in the previous six consecutive meetings against the Pacers. The guard out of Pitt connected on two three-point baskets in nine out of the last 10 contest when on the road and playing an Eastern Conference opponent.
Scoot Henderson 5+ Assists (+100)
Scoot Henderson heads into this contest dishing out 5.5 dimes per game, and is currently streaking on the suggested threshold for this contest when playing at home. Not only is our return in the plus, Henderson has not finished with fewer than six assists in the two contests played at home.
The guard for Portland finished with at least five assists in six straight games played at home. Henderson is averaging 8.0 assists when at home this season. The young guard has gone up against the Nuggets on six occasions in his short career, with an average of 4.7 assists over that span.
Make no mistake about it, this will be the sweatiest bet of all our selections today. Henderson is still on a minutes limit and playing around 20 minutes per game. The guard for the Trailblazers also has fallen short on the asking price of 5+ assists in two consecutive games. Despite the challenges facing this assists option, we feel Henderson's first game back from All-Star break will culminate in at least five assists tonight.
Chet Holmgren 9+ Rebounds (+101)
Chet Holmgren will face a Brooklyn team that is on their second leg of a back-to-back. The Nets are heavily favored to receive a very strong lottery pick this season, which means the blowout out possibility will be high in this contest. Regardless, Holmgren has been a force on the boards at home as of late, and we have an opportunity to hit on a small plus return.
Chet Holmgren has accumulated nine rebounds or more in seven out of the last 10 games played. The Center for OKC is averaging 8.7 boards on the season, and 9.5 when playing at home. Holmgren is pulling down over nine rebounds per game over the month of February.
If you're feeling a tad ambitious, it may benefit you to climb one rung up and take Chet for a double-double along with 10 boards. Holmgren has reached 10 rebounds or more in 10 straight games played at the Paycom Center. We are going to play it safe on 8.5 rebounds due to the positive payout. You probably want to grab the 8.5 early before the payout dips into the negative.
Enjoy the games today, and best of luck with your picks!
