Now that the trade deadline has passed, teams are geared up to position themselves into NBA Playoffs contention. That starts with a 7-game slate on Friday night. With plenty of action in store to kickstart the weekend, let’s dive into my best NBA player prop bets for tonight, while you can also check out our expert NBA picks for all the big games today.
Scottie Barnes (TOR) Under 34.5 pts + rebs + asts (-115)
Odds available at Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Raptors vs Thunder could get ugly on Friday night. The Oklahoma City Thunder open as 19.5-point home favorites with the return of Chet Holmgren while facing a depleted Raptors team. Toronto will be without R.J. Barrett, Jakob Poeltl and the newly acquired Brandon Ingram. Immanuel Quickley will be suited up for the Raptors, which bodes well for our Scottie Barnes fade, as Quickley is expected to eat into Barnes’ usage in this one.
Barnes will face off against one of the most daunting defenses in the league. Lu Dort on the perimeter can give him fits, while the next level of defense is Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. Barnes has stayed under this line of 34.5 points+rebounds+assists in 13 of his last 20 games. Bet365 has this prop at 2 PRA higher than the rest of the major sportsbooks, giving us a ton of value on the under.
