Today’s Free NBA Player Props

Every day during the season, our NBA betting experts will identify some of the best player prop bets available.

There are seven NBA games on Friday’s schedule, including Hawks @ Pistons and Timberwolves @ Warriors. Let’s dive into the top player props for today.

Jalen Johnson: Over 42.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120) @ Pistons

If you frequent this space, you know how often I like to bet the over on Jalen Johnson. The 23-year-old is playing at an All-NBA level this season, averaging 23.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game. He’s been even more dangerous since mid-November, bumping those numbers up to 25.8/11.9/9.8.

In two games against the Pistons this season, Johnson has averaged 45.5 PRA. With Trae Young still sidelined, he has every reason to serve as the No. 1 option in this rising Atlanta offense. Back the over at this relatively favorable number.

Evan Mobley: Over 19.5 Points (-102) @ Wizards

Evan Mobley can score as many points as he wants to this evening. The 24-year-old will serve as Cleveland’s primary frontcourt option with Jarrett Allen sidelined, and he’s set to take on what is far and away the NBA’s worst defense – which is also missing its premier enforcer, Alex Sarr.

Mobley has hit the over at this mark in 11 out of 24 games this season and is averaging 18.9 per game. The only real concern is how much time he’ll spend on the floor. The Cavaliers beat the Wizards by 33 when they last met, and Mobley only saw 28 minutes.

Using the NBA Player Props Grid

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.

• Prop: This is the suggested bet. It lists the player name, the prop, and the matchup, complete with date, time, and venue. 
• Expected Value: This is what the grid is sorted by. This number is the difference between the true probability of the event happening and the sportsbook’s odds. 
• Cover Probability: The likelihood of the player prop resulting in a win.
• Bet Rating: Our ranking of the value of the player prop. Five-star picks are the best and most valuable picks. 
• Best Line: The best odds currently available for the player prop. Our odds grid constantly updates to find the best NBA player prop betting lines. 

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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. 

What are PRA prop bets?

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. 

What happens if a player gets injured or can’t finish a game?

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. 

Do NBA player props count overtime?

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.
