There are nine NBA games on Friday’s schedule, including Cavaliers @ Suns and Pistons @ Warriors. Let’s dive into the top player props for today.
Yves Missi: Over 11.5 Points + Rebounds (-135) vs. Grizzlies
Missi has seen a healthy supply of minutes over the last few weeks, and he’s making the most of the increased opportunity. The second-year big is averaging 7.3 points and 7.6 rebounds over his last 10 games.
During that stretch, Missi has gone over this mark eight times, with as many double-doubles (two) as unders. Memphis also presents a favorable chance for him: The Grizzlies play fast and are a bottom-10 team at keeping opponents off the glass.
Brandin Podziemski: Over 8.5 Assists + Rebounds (-135) vs. Pistons
Podziemski was elevated to the starting rotation following Jimmy Butler’s season-ending ACL tear, allowing him to put his all-around game on display. Since his promotion, Podz has averaged 11.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.8 assists over 26.6 minutes per game.
He’s notched at least 11 and as many as 15 combined assists and rebounds in each of his last four appearances, putting him in a solid spot ahead of tonight’s tilt with Detroit. The Pistons have one of the NBA’s toughest defenses, but it helps that Podziemski isn’t the focal point of Golden State’s offense. Take the over.

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.
