The NBA returns to semi-normality on Friday night with a 7-game slate after some slim slates due to NBA Cup action. With a solid lineup of games to sink our teeth into, let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for Friday, December 12, while you can also find out our expert NBA picks for every game throughout the season.
Best NBA player prop bet: Josh Giddey (CHI) Over 8.5 assists (-127)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The start to the season couldn’t have gone better for a Bulls franchise that desperately needed life. They recorded wins over the Knicks, Pistons and Magic en route to a 5-0 start. However, they reverted to their normal ways and have dropped their last 7 games, now an afterthought in the Eastern Conference
The one bright spot has been Josh Giddey, who was getting All-NBA praise during the first month. We’ve seen slight regression across the board in terms of points, rebounds and assists, but tonight is an excellent spot against the Hornets, as the Bulls have a 116 implied team total. Coby White has eaten into Giddey’s usage, but the assist numbers are slightly better when White is in the lineup. He’s recorded at least 9 assists in 4 of the 7 games the duo has played together.
