There are 10 NBA games on Friday’s schedule, including Raptors @ Celtics and Knicks @ Suns. Let’s dive into the top player props for today.
Jalen Johnson: Over 19.5 Rebounds + Assists (-105) @ Nuggets
This is a terrific spot to back one of the NBA’s premier rising stars. The Hawks now unquestionably belong to Jalen Johnson, who’s averaging 23.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game – all of which are career-high marks.
When he last took on the Nuggets on Dec. 5, he notched 21 points, 18 rebounds, and 16 assists, the latter of which were also career-highs. I wouldn’t go as far as to predict that he’ll match those totals, but he should certainly be in for another strong outing. The over is the way to go at 19.5 rebounds and assists.
Derik Queen: Over 8.5 Rebounds (-125) @ Wizards
More than anything, Queen has been a real force on the glass lately. He’s averaging 8.9 rebounds per game over his last 15, and he’s logged double-digit boards in seven of those.
Queen should be in line to rack up another high total this evening against the Wizards. Washington ranks last league-wide in rebounds allowed per game, and there will be more opportunities available with Saddiq Bey, Trey Murphy III, and Herb Jones all potentially sidelined for New Orleans.
From left to right, you’ll find sections for the prop, expected value, cover probability, bet rating, and the best line available. Let’s quickly break down what these mean.
You’ll also find three dropdown menus above the grid. These allow you to sort by matchup, prop type, and bet rating, respectively. Use these to narrow down your search and find the best player prop available for your specified terms.

There are lots of small details that go into NBA player prop betting. If you still have some questions, read our answers to some common FAQs below.
You might see a player prop abbreviated as PRA. This stands for points, rebounds, and assists and is a combination of the three. To determine whether or not you win this type of bet, you’ll need to add up the player’s points, rebounds, and assists and see if they went over or under the projected total.
If a player is forced to exit a game early, sportsbooks will often void the pick, meaning it doesn’t count as a win or loss. Instead, you’ll simply get your wager returned to you. If the player hits the over on their prop before exiting the game, it will still be graded as a win.
Unless otherwise noted, NBA player props do include overtime. This can be good or bad depending on whether you bet the over or under on a player prop.
If you bet the over and a player doesn’t hit the mark until overtime, it’ll still count as a win for you. However, if you bet the under and a player goes over that mark in overtime, it’ll still count as a loss even though they finished regulation with the under.
