The 2022-23 NBA season is just getting going, but the action has been heating up over the last few days. There is a pretty loaded schedule of games set to take place on Friday and that means that you can find some great betting opportunities.
Betting on player props continues to be a great option to look at and there are some good players to target on Friday. Here are the five NBA player prop picks that you need to make.
Tyrese Haliburton Under 9.5 Assists (-115)
Pacers vs. Wizards Predictions
Tyrese Haliburton is having a big season for the Indiana Pacers to begin the year and he is the future of the franchise. Haliburton can run the team and set up his teammates or he can also do plenty of scoring on his own.
There is a great opportunity to take the under 9.5 assists in this match-up with the Washington Wizards, though, as the Pacers aren’t a great team. Indiana doesn’t always make shots, and that will keep the assist total low.
Tyrese Maxey Over 18.5 Points (-110)
The Philadelphia 76ers are just 1-4 on the year as they travel to Toronto to take on the Raptors. Philadelphia is much better than that record, but they just haven’t been able to put things together this season.
Joel Embiid gets most of the recognition, but Tyrese Maxey is a future star in this league as well. Bet on Maxey to help provide a boost to the Sixers, as he scores at least 19 points in this game.
Karl-Anthony Towns to Record Double-Double (+165)
Lakers vs. Timberwolves Predictions
It has been a slow start for Karl-Anthony Towns in 2022, but his Minnesota team is off to a 3-2 start. The Timberwolves host the 0-4 Lakers on Friday night and it’s a battle of the big men.
There is tremendous value in betting on Towns to record a double-double in this game, as that’s something that he’s accustomed to doing. Take those odds on the Minnesota big man, as he has a huge day.
Lauri Markkanen Under 20.5 Points (-114)
The Utah Jazz are in Denver to face the Nuggets and this is one rivalry that doesn’t get talked about enough. These two teams do not like one another and it should set up for a showdown in this game.
Lauri Markkanen is off to a big start with the Jazz, but he is a player that has been a mystery throughout his career. Look for Denver to find a way to slow down the big man, as Markkanen will finish with less than 21 points.
Devin Booker Over 2.5 Made Three Point Attempts (-120)
The 3-1 Phoenix Suns host the 3-1 New Orleans Pelicans in a big match-up on Friday night. Both teams look like they could win the West this season and there will be plenty of young talent on the floor.
This game will be the perfect chance for Devin Booker to show what he is made of and he’s going to light it up early in this one. Bet on the Suns star to make at least three shots from deep in this one.
