Friday night in the NBA will look a little different today. After a 13-game slate last night, bettors have just 3 games to choose from on Friday. However, there’s still tons of value to be had, so let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for today, Friday, December 20, while you can also find out our NBA picks for every game tonight and all the big games throughout the season.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC) Over 10.5 rebounds+assists (-115)
Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has the Thunder top of the Western Conference and clawing at Nikola Jokic for the MVP lead. Last night, against the depleted Orlando Magic, Gilgeous-Alexander had a 35-point game while getting to the free-throw line 4 times. We’re pivoting away from his scoring tonight and attacking his rebounds+assist market — a market we crushed in the NBA Cup final with Giannis Antetokounmpo clearing his number by 11 rebounds+assists.
Backing superstars on back-to-backs in the NBA can be a disaster, but Alexander has shown no signs of slowing down. He’ll challenge a Miami Heat team on the road with the Thunder as slight underdogs. All signs point to this game being close and SGA seeing his regular 35+ minutes and sky-high usage rate that ranks 3rd in the league amongst qualified players.
FanDuel Sportsbook, which we consider sharp in terms of player props, has the Over of 10.5 rebounds+assists priced at -138. Instead, we’ll shop around and find -115 on Bet365, -117 on Caesars, and even -125 on DraftKings — all prices I’m willing to back.
