The NBA Cup begins on Friday night with 8 games on the slate. We have seen in the past that plenty of teams are motivated to take home the hardware.
Let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for Friday, October 31, while you can also find out our expert NBA picks for every game throughout the NBA season.
Best NBA player prop bet: Kristaps Porzingis (ATL) Over 8.5 rebounds + assists (+100)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing
The Trae Young injury does not look great for Atlanta. The Hawks have yet to provide an update on his knee other than that he is out for Friday night. With that news, I will back Kristaps Porzingis in the assist and rebound department. He totaled 5 assists in the last game with Young leaving in the first quarter while adding 6 rebounds. BetMGM and Bet365 are kind enough to offer the over of 8.5 rebounds + assists at even money, while DraftKings and other major books have this down to -125.

Best NBA player prop bet: Jalen Brunson (NYK) Over 10.5 rebounds + assists (+110)
Odds available at Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing
As you can see, I’m a massive fan of the rebound + assist market. High-usage players in competitive games have ample opportunities to smash their lines. Jalen Brunson fits that mold. He has gone over this line in just 1 game this season, but 12.3 assist opportunities and 8.8 rebound chances per game is encouraging — especially in a game with a 233.5 total and Chicago ranking sixth in pace of play.
Much like the Porzingis play, Bet365 and BetMGM are coming in with the best price on the market by a wide margin. But this is still playable on DraftKings at -107, while FanDuel is down to -122. Take advantage of the +110 price tag on Bet365!
