Friday's Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Neemias Queta 2+ Assists (+101)
Fouls caused this play to go south on Friday. Nevertheless, we are going back to the well on this assists total for a player who should see 25-28 minutes or more if he can stay out of foul trouble. The return for this prop has increased to +101 since Friday. This could be the perfect time to jump on a low assist total.
Queta ended the 2025-2026 campaign averaging 2.7 assists through the month of April . The center for the Celtics has reached two assists or more in three consecutive games when playing on the road. Queta has produced at least two assists in six out of eight games.
Philadelphia allowed over 27.5 assists on the season, and almost four assists via the center position. Queta fell short on the last two occasions against Philadelphia during the post season. Regardless, Queta is in a fantastic spot to dish out two assists or more against the 76ers tonight.
Reed Sheppard 3+ Assists (-119)
Reed Sheppard incurred a serious minutes reduction in the last game against Los Angeles. Having said that, Sheppard still managed to dole out three assists. It seems likely that Sheppard will take the court for a longer duration in this contest. Which makes this is one of our favorite options for the evening.
Sheppard is averaging 4.25 assists through the previous four games played. The guard for Houston finished with three dimes or more in six out of the last 10 contests, giving us a small edge to possibly exploit. Sheppard is producing 3.3 assists when playing at home in 2025-2026.
Sheppard dropped three assists or more in four consecutive games against Los Angeles. The guard for the Rockets also has finished with at least three assists in the previous four games played against a Western Conference opponent.
VJ Edgecombe 16+ Points (-108)
VJ Edgecombe is coming off a 30-point performance against the Celtics on Tuesday, and could be in line for another successful scoring night at home. Edgecombe connects on an extra 6% of three-point attempts taken when playing at home on the season.
Edgecombe has scored at least 16 points or more in four out the previous six games played. The young guard averaged 20 points over four games against the Thunder in 2025-2026. Edgecombe is also putting up 21.5 over two contests against the Celtics during the Playoffs. The guard for Philadelphia has averaged 20.6 through three post season contests.
TheBaylor product averaged 18.1 points this season when playing an opponent in the Atlantic Division. Edgecombe has scored at least 16 points in 4-of-6 games played against Boston on the season. There's a lot to like about this selection, and we feel great about Edgecombe finishing this contest with at least 16 points.
Donovan Clingan 10+ Points (-119)
Victor Wembanyama is currently questionable after a nasty landing in the contest between San Antonio and Portland on Tuesday. If Wemby is unable to suit up, we could have ourselves a very solid edge going into Game 3. Donovan Clingan has fared well against the Spurs this season, and the absence of the giant cener for the Spurs would only further our confidence.
The second year center put up 14.7 points over the three games played against San Antonio this season. Clingan is putting up 10.1 points through the last 10 games. The UConn alum has finished with 10 points or more in four out of the last seven games.
Clingan has accumulated 10 points or more in two consecutive games at home. The Portland big man averaged 11.4 points in home games over the course of 2025-2026 season. If Wemby is declared out for this game, the points line may move up. It may be beneficial to get to the window early on this selection.
Deni Avdija 25+ Points (+105)
We close out our picks for the evening with a player who has been absolutely smoking-hot as of late in regards to scoring. Deni Avdija is up against an extremely formidable Spurs defense that may or may not feature Victor Wembanyama in this contest. Regardless, Avdija has been scoring at a high volume, and we feel that continues in the third contest of this series.
Avdija is coming off a contest where he only accumulated 14 points in 38 minutes played. Aside from the tough outing last game, the veteran forward averaged 31.7 points on 54.8% shooting from the field in three games played against San Antonio this season. Advija has closed out the last eight out of nine games with at least 25 points or more.
The forward for Portland is consistently covering the 25+ points line over the past seven games, and now faces a team that he is averaging just under 32 against on the season. Advija has only scored fewer than 25 points in one out of five games when facing San Antonio in 2025-2026.
Enjoy the games throughout the day. Best of luck with your picks!
