We have 9 games ahead of us tonight for the Friday NBA slate. The Toronto Raptors are the only team on a back-to-back this evening and LeBron James celebrates his 38th birthday vs the Atlanta Hawks on the road. Several key players are on the injury report at the time of writing this article with a “Questionable” designation that could likely go either way so we will proceed with caution. Those names include Bradley Beal, Jamal Murray, Rudy Gobert, Aaron Gordon, Fred VanVleet, Lonnie Walker, and Jusuf Nurkic. Let's dive into my favorite player props on the night.
Jordan Clarkson (UTA) over 20.5 points (-122)
This is right at Clarkson's average of 20.3PPG and he gets a great opponent for his skillset. The Kings are 25th in opponent effective 3P% and 20th overall in opp shooting percentage at the rim. Clarkson has hit this line in 5 straight games and has done a great job of getting to the FT in that span. Sacramento is 17th is Opp FTA per game. Last season, Clarkson had his season high 45 points vs the Kings and I expect him to clear this line easily. 1U
