After just a 3-game slate on Thursday night, NBA Friday gives bettors 10 games to choose from — including a doubleheader on NBA TV beginning with Heat vs Cavaliers at 7:30 pm ET and concluding with Mavericks vs Trail Blazers at 10:00 pm ET. Let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bets for Friday, March 27, while you can also find out our expert NBA picks for tonight’s matchups and every game throughout the season.
Best NBA player prop bet: Zion Williamson (NOP) over 8.5 rebounds+assists (-115)
Odds available at bet365 at time of publishing.
The Pelicans will be on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back following a win over the Pistons. Zion Williamson scored a team-high 21 points while reeling in 6 rebounds. Heading into tonight’s game against the Raptors, the Pelicans will likely be without Dejounte Murray — who is listed as doubtful due to injury management. Murray has been stuffing the stat sheet since the All-Star break, along with the Pelicans being one of the best teams in the league. Without Murray and his team-leading 27% usage rate, it opens up Williamson from a facilitating and rebounding standpoint.

NBA player prop bet: Khris Middleton (DAL) Under 7.5 points (-108)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The Dallas Mavericks’ loaded frontcourt has held veteran Khris Middleton under 20 minutes in 5 straight games. Cooper Flagg, Naji Marshall and PJ Washington are playing big minutes for a Mavericks team that will be picking in the top 10 in the upcoming NBA Draft. But with no desire of benching their core, this leaves Middleton in a tough position to carve out a role — ultimately a nice spot to fade him.
