A loaded 9-game slate on Friday night looks intriguing at first glance, but 6 of the games have a spread of at least 13 points. Nonetheless, I’ll look to build on my 51-37 record.

Best NBA player prop bet: Tristan da Silva (ORL) Under 12.5 points + rebounds (-112)
Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing
Tristan da Silva was more than serviceable in the absence of Franz Wagner. He averaged 12 points per game as a starter while shooting 38.5% from 3-point range. But with the return of Wagner and the Magic looking up as the #9 seed in the Eastern Conference, I’m looking to fade da Silva — as he will come off the bench and fall into a limited role.

NBA player prop bet: Tyrese Maxey (PHI) Over 28.5 points (-116)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
Playoff races are heating up, and the 76ers are in the thick of it. They hold the #6 seed in the East, owning the tiebreaker over the Toronto Raptors. To no surprise, the 76ers will be without Joel Embiid tonight — leaving Tyrese Maxey and Paul George to do the heavy lifting against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are on the second leg of a back-to-back. George had the best game of his 76ers career on Wednesday, scoring 39 points against a woeful Wizards team. The task will be tougher against the Timberwolves, who have bodies they can throw at PG13. As such, I’m running to back Maxey — who played just 4 minutes in the fourth quarter of the last game. One of the few close spreads on the slate, I’m looking for Maxey to have a signature game at home with the 76ers needing a win to avoid the play-in tournament.
