There are 9 games in the NBA on Friday night with many star players in action, with some injuries opening up some value on player props. Five games have a line of 5 points or fewer and 5 games have a total of at least 233 points, with the Warriors-Spurs game the highest at 244 points. Here are my best player props for tonight, but make sure you also check out our'NBA picks for each of today’s 9 matchups.
CJ McCollum over 26.5 points (-109)
McCollum continues to flourish without Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, getting an increase in usage by 5.2%. The Pelicans guard has scored at least 28 points in 4 consecutive games, including 34 and 38 points in the last 2 games. McCollum has at least 21 shots from the field in all 4 games. The Pistons are a good matchup and are struggling to defend point guards, allowing them to average 32.1 points over the last 7 games, and they allow the 4th-most points to point guards on the season. In the last 7 games without Williamson, McCollum is averaging 29.1 points per game. The Pistons rank 29th in defensive efficiency and the game total is 234 points.
