Happy Friday. We made it to the weekend and I couldn't be more excited. We've got a small slate of games today but I've found a few props I absolutely love. Let's jump right into today's best bets.

For additional information on picks, props, money lines and more on today's NBA slate, take a look at our NBA Picks Page or our NBA Odds Page. 

Today's Best Bets

Payton Pritchard o27.5 PRA (-110)| Lucky Rebel

This game is ugly. We've got a 17-point spread, a total at 208 and a tanking Brooklyn Nets team all telling us to avoid this game. That being said, Payton Pritchard is desperately in need of a 'slump buster' and this game against Brooklyn might be exactly what he needs.

The Boston Celtics are 2nd in the Eastern Conference and looking like one of the best teams in the NBA. Head Coach Joe Mazzulla has put Pritchard back on the bench but for good reason. Pritchard's averaging 19.6 points per game off the bench and he's shooting 48.9% from the field and over 40% from beyond the arc.

Not only is Pritchard now scoring more, but he's averaging 5.9 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game. He's been a huge part of the Celtics success and coming off the bench might just be the best possible place for him.

Nikola Jokic Triple Double (+100) | Lucky Rebel

Nikola Jokic

Nikola Jokić is back and so is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. We've got the two MVP front runners going head to head tonight and I couldn't be more excited. Jokic has looked great since returning to the lineup; averaging 25.9 points, 13.7 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game. He's recorded a triple double in 5 of his 11 games since coming back and tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder he's primed to do it again.

Jokic is averaging 17.7 potential assists per game this year and leads the league in passes per game. He's done a phenomenal job of involving his teammates this year and at this point it's no longer a surprise.

There's no long pitch for this one, we've got two MVPs going head to head tonight and I'm rolling with the Big Serbian.

Tobias Harris o5.5 Rebounds (+120) | Lucky Rebel

Tobias Harris has been cleaning the glass and I just can't ignore it. In five games without Isaiah Stewart, Harris is averaging 8.8 rebounds per game and he's cleared this line in all five games. He's struggled to score the ball lately but the one thing he's done is clear the glass.

Harris is averaging 5.2 rebounds per game but without Beef Stew he's stepped up his game. The Cavaliers are one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA but without Donovan Mitchell and potentially James Harden, I'm expecting a lot more missed shots.

Jalen Brunson o26.5 Points (+100) | Lucky Rebel

Jalen Brunson

We haven't bet this guy a ton this year, but Jalen Brunson is averaging 26.7 points per game and he's been the engine that drives the New York Knicks. He's coming off back to back terrible shooting nights but tonight's matchup with Milwaukee should provide more opportunity.

Brunson's recorded 35+ points in his last three games against Milwaukee and their defense hasn't gotten any better. The Bucks rank 20th in points allowed to the point guard position, 26th in opponent free throw rate and 17th in opponent effective field goal percentage.

You may know me as ‘VSaaauce’. I’ve been a die hard hoops fan my entire life. I’ve been betting on the NBA/NCAAB/NFL/MLB for six years now, each year gaining more and more knowledge about being a profitable handicapper. I’m eager to learn, and eager to pass on everything I’ve gained over the last few years. I started my Twitter page four years ago, and this community makes me so thankful I did. Outside of sports and handicapping, I enjoy traveling, hoopin, a strong espresso and I’m currently studying to obtain my MD. I’m all about the vibes, good vibes only. If that sounds like you, follow me on 'X' @VSaaauce.
