The weekend gets started with a 7-game NBA slate on Friday night, with 5 of the matchups being inter-conference matchups. Let’s get into my favorite NBA player prop bets for the action on the hardwood tonight, while you can also check out our expert NBA picks for all of today’s biggest matchups.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC) Over 10.5 rebounds+assists (-110)

Odds available at Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing

Rebounds+assists props tend to have thin margins, so it’s a plus whenever you can beat the market. Bet365 has an outstanding price on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 10.5 rebounds+assists at -110, while FanDuel and DraftKings come in at -135 and -142, respectively. ESPNBET, Caesars and BetMGM are all priced below -125, as well.

Aside from the price we’re getting, Gilgeous-Alexander is in a great spot on Friday night against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The MVP favorite has surpassed 10.5 rebounds + assists in 10 of 17 games on the road and 14 of 21 games with Isaiah Hartenstein but without Chet Holmgren on the floor. Look for SGA to put on a show in front of the New York crowd.

Paul George (PHI) Under 33.5 points+rebounds+assists (-110)

Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.

It has been an underwhelming season for Paul George and the 76ers. George is shooting 41% from the field and 33% from 3-point range — the worst marks of his career. It has also been another injury-plagued campaign for George, who has missed 11 games this season. On Friday night I’m fading the multi-time all-star against the New Orleans Pelicans in Philly, where the Sixers are missing Joel Embiid.

With Embiid out of the lineup, George is still under this line in 7 of 11 games. Tyrese Maxey is in line for 25+ field-goal attempts with a 29.5 points line, while Kelly Oubre and Guerschon Yabusele continue to fill voids for the 76ers.
