You can also find out our expert NBA picks for the big games on Friday, February 28.
Tobias Harris (DET) Over 4.5 rebounds (-110)
Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.
After cashing his rebounds in the 1st half versus the Boston Celtics last game, I was surprised to see Tobias Harris have the same rebounding line. Harris has been exceptional for the Pistons this season. His veteran experience and stellar play have the Pistons playing some of the best basketball in the entire league. He continues to play the 2nd most minutes for the Pistons, just behind Cade Cunningham.
At -110, this is a prop I’d heavily consider betting 1.5 units – Especially considering FanDuel has this priced at -146 – Around where I think most books should have this priced and where it ends up by tipoff.

Cason Wallace (OKC) Over 7.5 points (+100)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Cason Wallace is just another product of the Thunder continuing to hit on their draft picks. The second-year guard is a phenom on the defensive end, which has translated into hitting shots on offense. Over the last 20 games, he is shooting nearly 50% from the field and 39% from 3-point range.
Last time out against the Brooklyn Nets, a game in which the Thunder struggled through 3 quarters, Wallace played all 12 minutes in the fourth and finished with 13 points. With Alex Caruso sidelined tonight, we could see a slight bump in Wallace’s minutes along with Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins. Wallace at even money to score 8 points is my favorite player prop bet in a sky-rocket total of 244 points and a fast-paced matchup against the Atlanta Hawks.

Cameron Johnson (BKN) Over 24.5 pts + rebs + asts (-120)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Many bettors may overlook trail Blazers-Nets, but Cameron Johnson caught my eye — even with the return of Cam Thomas for the Nets. I expect Thomas to be extremely limited, as he hasn’t played since January 2.
Johnson continues to play big minutes for the Nets. He has topped 32 minutes in 3 of his last 5 games, surpassing the over in three games — with both misses coming at 23 and 22 points + rebounds. This season, in games in which Johnson has played at least 28 minutes, he is over this line 68 percent of the time.
