Best NBA Player Props for Friday, March 13th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 7:30 PM ET on Friday, March 13th:
- Jalen Brunson Over/Under 11.5 Rebounds + Assists
- James Harden Over/Under 4.5 Rebounds
- Mikal Bridges Over/Under 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Jalen Brunson OVER 11.5 Rebounds + Assists (+115, Hard Rock)
HARDROCKBrunson has played 3 games with both Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns inactive this season, and he’s had 16, 14, and 7 rebounds + assists in those matchups. More importantly from a betting perspective, the opportunities have been there too.
Brunson has had at least 7 rebound chances and at least 13 potential assists in each of those games. He should have a good chance to clear this number in a favorable matchup against the Pacers later this evening.
James Harden OVER 4.5 Rebounds (-145, bet365)
BET365Since joining the Cavaliers, Harden has played 3 games without Jarrett Allen. He’s had 4, 5, and 5 rebounds in those contests, including a pair of games with 8+ rebound chances.
Dallas hasn’t been a particularly great matchup for opposing guards on the glass of late, but Harden has better size than most guards and has shown a clear willingness to get involved in the rebounding department of late. Overall, he’s collected 5+ rebounds in 7 of his last 9 games. He should have a good chance to get to that number again tonight.
Mikal Bridges OVER 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-102, FanDuel)
FANDUELJosh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns are both doubtful for tonight’s game against the Pacers. According to CourtIQ, Mikal Bridges is averaging 15.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per 36 minutes with those players off of the floor.
With both Hart and Towns inactive, Bridges managed 35 PRA against the Pacers and 28 PRA against the Hawks. He should have a chance to put up similar numbers this evening in a favorable matchup.
