The NBA action continues on Friday, February 24th, with eight games on the schedule. Lucky for you, I have trawled the odds to track down the best NBA player props for today’s match-ups. Let’s get this show on the road!
Bam Adebayo – Under 21.5 Points (-120)
The Milwaukee Bucks occupy second place in the Eastern Conference following 12 straight wins. It is also worth noting that Milwaukee boasts a record of 24-5 on home soil this season, so the Bucks will be confident of downing the Miami Heat at Fiserv Forum on Friday.
Meanwhile, the Heat find themselves seventh in the standings, having suffered back-to-back losses. Bam Adebayo has been a consistent performer for Miami throughout the campaign, but he will struggle to register over 21.5 points against the seemingly unstoppable Bucks.
Nikola Vucevic – Under 12.5 Rebounds (-125)
The Chicago Bulls have slipped to 11th place in the Eastern Conference after recording six successive defeats. On Friday, the Bulls host the Brooklyn Nets, who find themselves sixth following an 11-point victory over the Heat last time out.
Nikola Vucevic has been a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy campaign for Chicago, with only two centers averaging more rebounds per game than the Montenegrin. However, with the Bulls on a worrying losing streak, Vucevic won’t find it easy to enhance his tally.
Rudy Gobert – Over 14.5 Rebounds (-130)
Hornets vs. Timberwolves Preview
Rudy Gobert finds himself third on the rebounds-per-game leaderboard, having racked up 580 in 50 outings this season. Averaging 11.6 rebounds per game in 2022-23, Gobert looks destined to run riot against the Charlotte Hornets, who sit second from bottom in the Eastern Conference.
By contrast, Gobert’s Minnesota Timberwolves occupy seventh place in the Western Conference. Since the Frenchman has chalked up 43 rebounds across his previous three appearances – including 19 against the Washington Wizards last time out – he shouldn’t struggle to notch over 14.5 rebounds against lowly Charlotte.
Alperen Sengun – Under 5.5 Assists (-150)
Following seven straight losses, the Houston Rockets are rooted to the foot of the Western Conference. On Friday, the Rockets face the Golden State Warriors, who will be eager to climb the standings after suffering back-to-back defeats.
Naturally, the Warriors are favored to beat the Rockets on home soil, so I expect Houston’s Alperen Sengun to endure a difficult game. Since Sengun has managed 5+ assists in just two of his last eight appearances, odds of -150 look very attractive here.
Paul George – Over 22.5 Points (-120)
Paul George has notched 20+ points in five of his previous six outings for the Los Angeles Clippers, reaching 26+ points on three occasions in that time. Accordingly, I’m backing him to record over 22.5 points against the Sacramento Kings.
Both the Clippers and Kings have a record of 6-4 across the past 10 games, but the Clippers will have the upper hand on home soil. This is destined to be a close game between two strong teams, but I’m confident that George will continue his scoring streak on Friday.
