It’s another good night in the NBA with plenty of stars in action and player props to choose from. There are 10 games in the NBA on Friday night. Seven games have a line of 5 points or fewer and 7 games have a total of at least 227 points, with the Hawks-Blazers game the highest at 241.5 points. Here are my best NBA player props for tonight’s action.

Jalen Williams over 25.5 points+rebounds+assists (-119)

Odds available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has missed the last 4 games and he will be out against the Jazz tonight. Williams can come close to going over this total on points alone. In the last 4 games without SGA, Williams has scored 22, 15, 27, and 24 points. The PRA totals have been 32, 21, 40 and 35. In 7 games without SGA this season, Williams is averaging 19.6 points, 5.3 assists and 4 rebounds per game. The Jazz rank 24th in defensive efficiency and the game total is 231.5 points.

Kevin Durant over 21.5 points (-125)

Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.

This is the same line Durant had on Wednesday when he returned from a knee injury and made his Suns debut. He was on a minutes limit and played 27, scoring 23 points on 10-for-15 from the field. Durant should play a similar amount of minutes and if he takes another 15 shots from the field, he will likely go over this total. Durant has played the Bulls twice this season and scored 44 points in 38 minutes and 32 points in 38 minutes, and got to the free-throw line 21 times and hit all of them. This line won’t be this low for much longer.

Walker Kessler over 11.5 rebounds (+100)

Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Kessler averaged 11.4 rebounds per game in February and averaged 29.1 minutes. Kessler has gone over this total in 5 of the last 6 games with 15, 5, 14, 18, 12 and 15 rebounds, and played at least 30 minutes in 6 of the last 8 games. The 5-rebound game was due to Kessler only playing 19 minutes. The Jazz center gets a great matchup against a Thunder team that lacks size and is 26th in rebounding rate. Kessler faced the Thunder on February 23 and had 18 rebounds in an overtime game.
