Friday's Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Jarrett Allen 13+ Points (-116)
Jarrett Allen is averaging 16 points through the last four post-season games. The center for Cleveland is connecting on 63% of attempts through the series against Detroit. Allen dropped 22 points on 77.8% shooting in the second game of this series.
Allen finished with 13 points or more in five out of eight games played against Detroit through the regular season and playoffs. The center for the Cavaliers is averaging 15 points on 65.2% shooting from the field over that span.
The line of 13 points or more is certainly low given the importance of this contest for Cleveland. The Cavaliers can ill-afford to take a loss this evening, which would send the series back to Detroit for Game 7. Allen has scored at least 13 points in five out of the previous seven post-season contests.
Daniss Jenkins 6+ Rebounds + Assists (-117)
Daniss Jenkins has cemented a solid role for the Detroit Pistons through the 2025-26 NBA Playoffs. Jenkins played over 40 minutes in the Pistons' Game 5 overtime loss on Wednesday. The extended minutes in the series certainly piques our interests, and we feel Jenkins certainly has an opportunity to finish with six rebounds + assists or more in this contest.
Jenkins is averaging 3.8 boards and 3.2 assists through the second round series against Detroit. The 24-year-old has finished with double-digit rebounds + assists in two out the last five games. Jenkins has recorded six rebounds + assists or more in five out of six contests. The guard for Detroit is dishing out 3.2 assists while pulling-down 3.5 boards in all seven games where he is on the floor for 20 minutes or more.
The St. John's alum has accounted for 27 minutes on the floor through five contests against Cleveland in this series. As long as the minutes fall around 25 or more, Jenkins is a remarkable spot to finish with at least six rebounds + assists.
Anthony Edwards 3+ Three-Pointers (-132)
Minnesota is down three games to two going into the sixth contest between the Timberwolves and Spurs. Minnesota will absolutely need the services of the sharp-shooting guard if they want to keep from failing to advance into the next round. Anthony Edwards is knocking down his fair share of three-point attempts in the playoffs, and we like his chances to finish this contest with at least three made three-pointers.
The guard for Minnesota is shooting 40% from deep over the last five contests. Edwards hit at least three three-pointers in two out the previous three games though. The main scoring option for the Timberwolves has made over 60% of three-point attempts in two out of five games this series.
Edwards has made at least three three-point baskets in two out of three contests. The guard for Minnesota made three baskets from three-point distance in two straight games when playing at home. Edwards made 14 three points in three regular season games when playing against San Antonio.
Victor Wembanyama First Points (+271)
Victor Wembanyama has been a serious source of offense in this series against Minnesota. Not only have the final results been extremely solid, the Spurs are electing to go to Wembenyama early and often. The return is massive, and it's very possible the young center scores first in this contest.
The center for San Antonio has scored the initial basket in three out of four games against the Timberwolves. Wembenyama led the Spurs in first baskets with 14 on the season (25%). The star for the Spurs scored 18 first-quarter points against Minnesota in Game 5.
San Antonio seems to get off to the best start when Wembenyama is being utilized early on in games. The second-year standout is having a historical first playoff run, and has a better chance than most on the court to score the first points in this contest. Wemby is averaging 8.2 first quarter points over the last 10 games played.
Victor Wembanyama 5+ Blocks (+165)
We do not usually opt to take the same player for two separate props in the same article. Also, we certainly are not in favor of doubling-down on the same pair of selections from last Friday. Having said that, Wemby is special! Even more so, the young center has been nothing short of brilliant at guarding the rim, so much so the Timberwolves seem heavily reluctant to drive into the paint. Wemby has already accumulated 12 blocks in one contest in this series. Five blocks with a plus return appears to be quite the bargain.
The center for San Antonio is averaging 4.2 in nine games for the Spurs in the 2025-2026 Playoffs. Wembanyama has blocked at least five shots in four out of the last seven post-season contests. The center for the Spurs is blocking 4.4 shots per game through five playoff games against Minnesota.
The Spurs have an opportunity to close out the series this evening. It stands to reason why Wembanyama may be extra invested in defending the rim in Game 6. The center for San Antonio has accumulated 22 blocks through the previous five games
Enjoy the games tonight. Best of luck with your picks!
