Top Expert NBA Prop Picks for Friday

Friday night's NBA slate features 11 contests for us to scour for the best prop picks. We've identified three of the top plays for you to walk away with a profit.

The first month of the NBA season is always fascinating. We see hot starts from unlikely players, and the current trajectory of their season can either become forgotten as they fade, or dominate headlines if they stay hot.

We've been profiting over the first few weeks of the campaign through prop plays. Between team and player props, there are plenty of ways to pocket some cash. We're not searching for anomalies, but instead exploiting the value of consistency.

Here are my top prop picks for Friday’s NBA schedule (odds via DraftKings, and pick confidence is based on a one-to-five star scale).

Friday's Top Prop Picks

Kemba Walker Over 12.5 points (-110) ????Drew Eubanks Under 7.5 rebounds (-105) ????Robert Williams Over 9.5 points (-115) ???

Top Prop Picks

Kemba Walker Over 12.5 points (-110)

This is a revenge-game candidate. Point guard Kemba Walker has overall made a positive impact on the New York Knicks while taking on a new role in the twilight of his career. Charlotte, his home for eight seasons, has quickly forgotten Walker due to LaMelo Ball's emergence as a higher upside face of the franchise.

But that doesn't mean Walker won't be helpful against the Hornets as the Knicks travel to Charlotte. The Hornets have allowed the most scoring and the third-highest field goal rate in the league. Walker, who's averaging 11.3 points per game, still possesses the quickness and deep-shooting ability to outperform his averages and cash the Over for us.

Drew Eubanks Under 7.5 rebounds (-105)

Sometimes you see a line and wonder what you're missing. Here, San Antonio Spurs big man Drew Eubanks is expected to nearly produce a double-double against the Dallas Mavericks. We know the Spurs are missing Jakob Poeltl and the Mavericks are without Maxi Kleber, but this is a big jump for Eubanks.

Assuming the 24-year-old even plays enough to get eight rebounds, he would still need to compete for boards with an active group of teammates and Mavericks opponents. Kristaps Porzingis, Luka Doncic, and Dejounte Murray haven't forgotten how to grab the ball off a miss. Eubanks should produce a little more than his averages this season, but this line misses the mark.

Robert Williams Over 9.5 points (-115)

One thing we can count on in big games is a team asking a lot out of a role player to make up for the talent difference. The Boston Celtics must game plan how to slow the Milwaukee Bucks' offense and also get easy points. The answer is simple since Robert Williams is often their biggest wild card.
