After a Thanksgiving break filled with exciting games, it’s time to jump back into the NBA action. With a 9-0 record in the past two articles, it’s been a great week, and the NBA Cup group play continues Friday across a 10-game slate. As always, staying updated on injury news and lineup announcements is crucial. The best way to keep sharp with NBA player props is to monitor the latest news, but another critical tip is shopping around at different sportsbooks. Player prop odds can vary from platform to platform, so getting the best value is essential. Let’s dive into Friday’s top prop bets.
Domantas Sabonis is a solid pick to go over 37.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists (PRA) when Sacramento faces Portland. The game is expected to total around 224 points, and the Trail Blazers have one of the worst defences in the league. Their poor offensive rating should give Sabonis plenty of opportunities, especially in the rebounding department. He’s averaging 13 rebounds per game this season and consistently scoring 20+ points with six assists per game. This prop stands out as a top option in a fast-paced game, with Sabonis logging over 36 minutes per night and a 25% usage rate.
Donovan Mitchell is another strong pick, with 35.5 points, assists, and rebounds (PRA) against Atlanta. Mitchell recorded 30 points, four rebounds, and seven assists in his last game and has averaged 28 points per game in the previous two weeks. Atlanta’s defence ranks near the bottom, allowing the second-most points to opposing shooting guards and the third-most assists. With a game total of 246 points, Mitchell is well-positioned to exceed his PRA prop.
As a Chicago Bulls fan, I expect Ayo Dosunmu to struggle against Boston in this matchup. The Celtics rank among the top 10 in defence and allow the second-fewest points to opposing small forwards, a position where Dosunmu will likely play tonight. Facing Jaylen Brown on defence will make it difficult for him to hit 17.5 combined points and assists. Dosunmu has averaged just 12 points per game this season, and with Boston’s strong defence, this under seems like a solid bet. The BettingPros prop bet cheat sheet gives this prop a 74% chance of hitting.
For additional bets, consider Dalton Knecht under 17.5 points + rebounds on DraftKings, Bam Adebayo over 16.5 points on FanDuel, and James Harden under 22.5 points on ESPN Bet. Using the BettingPros prop bet cheat sheet can help uncover the best value for your bets. Happy betting, and good luck!
