Today's Best NBA Player Prop Bets, Picks & Predictions

The slate is a good one on Friday night with 11 games giving us plenty of player props to bet on. The article is out early with a couple of plays before the lines move. More bets will be added early afternoon on Friday. My season record is 8-4 (+3.98 units). Here are my picks for tonight.

Tyrese Haliburton over 29.5 points+assists (-125 on DraftKings)

I play this prop almost every time Haliburton plays. The books haven’t moved the line much. The number as the same on Wednesday. The Pacers point guard has been one of the best players in the NBA this season, but he’s not a household name outside of hardcore fans. Haliburton is averaging 20.6 points, 10.4 assists and 4.5 rebounds, while shooting 49.2% from the field, including 42.4 % from 3-point range. He was questionable going into Wednesday’s game with an ankle injury and had 22 points and 11 assists in 32 minutes to cash the prop. He has gone over this total in 6 of the last 8 games and 9 of 13 games on the season. The game total against the Rockets is 236 points. The Pacers are 24^th in defensive efficiency and the Rockets are 28^th. The Pacers are second in pace and the Rockets are 9^th.

Stephen Curry over 35.5 points+assists (-115 on DraftKings)

The Warriors are off to a slow start in defending their championship. It has nothing to do with the play of Curry, who has been great. The point guard is averaging 32.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists, while shooting 53.1% from the field, including 44.7% from 3-point range. The biggest issue for Golden State has been its poor play on the road, going 0-8 compared to 6-1 at home. The Warriors host the Knicks, who are 10^th in pace and the Warriors are first. The Knicks are 18^th in defensive efficiency and struggle to defend guards. Curry has gone over this total in 5 of the last 7 games and coming off a 50-point and 6-assist game against the Suns on Wednesday. He has gone over this total in 9 of 14 games and the game total is 233.5 points.
