Six games take place this Friday evening, and three are separated by just a one-and-a-half-point spread. These tightly contested games bode well for anyone utilizing PrizePicks or wagering on player props. The last thing we want is a blowout that forces the starters out of the game early, so it’s probably best to avoid many overs in the Nuggets and Spurs game with a 12-point spread in play.

Friday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Bets
Here are the best PrizePicks plays for NBA action on Friday, March 10.
Donovan Mitchell is one of the more prolific scorers in the game, but he has been a shell of himself against the Heat. These two teams squared off just two days ago, and Miami held Mitchell to just 18 points on 7-18 shooting from the field. That marked the third time this season in which the Heat kept him in check. He scored just 16 and 13 points in their other two meetings.
It makes sense that Spida has shot poorly against the Heat. They have the seventh-best Defensive Net Rating and have allowed the seventh-fewest points per game to shooting guards this season. Shooting opportunities also figure to be limited considering both teams are in the bottom three in terms of pace. Let’s hope the Heat keep Mitchell cool for a fourth game this year.
Averaging 25.9 PRA per game on the season, this line is simply too low for Jattett Allen. In two games against the Heat this year, the Fro has put up 25 and 29 PRA. Other big men have faired well against them as of late too:
- Evan Mobley 27
- Clint Capela 23 & 29
- Mitchell Robinson 7
- Paul Reed 30 (no Joel Embiid)
- Joel Embiid 41
- Mark Williams 38
- Brook Lopez 25
- Bobby Portis 30 (only six minutes from Giannis Antetokounmpo)
- Nicolas Claxton 13
- Nikola Jokic 47
Ultimately what sticks out most here is to see that this line is listed at -155 over at DraftKings Sportsbook. It becomes an auto-play at that price point. Allen has 23+ PRA in 16 of his last 20 games, averaging 27.6 PRA per game over this span.
Here is another line that is significantly juiced at DraftKings Sportsbook, sitting at -135. Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the line is actually at 22.5 for Kyle Kuzma, which makes this a clear and obvious play in my eyes. You’re getting the best value at PrizePicks when these lines at the sportsbooks are with incredible juice.
The Hawks and Wizards matched up two days back, and Kuz finished with 25 points while shooting 10-15. He also put up 28 points against Atlanta on Feb. 28. The Hawks have permitted the fifth-most points to small forwards, and the eighth-most to power forwards on the season. Kuz should once again find success against the dirty birds.
