Best NBA Player Props for Today

Cleveland Cavaliers at Detroit Pistons

Jarrett Allen to Record a Double-Double (+140)

The trade to bring in James Harden has been a boon for Jarrett Allen's output, and I am interested in these odds for Allen to record a double-double.

Since Harden's arrival, Allen is averaging a whopping 21.3 points and 11.3 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per night.

Before Harden -- who is questionable today but seems to be trending toward playing -- Allen was putting up 13.9 points and 8.1 boards in 27.1 minutes per game.

While there may be some small-sample noise at play in the split alongside Harden, Allen clearly seems to enjoy playing with The Beard. The Detroit Pistons are a difficult matchup in this clash between East powers, but Allen notched 20 points and seven boards in his only other meeting with the Pistons (and that was pre-Harden).

Rebounds should be the biggest hurdle here as Allen is listed at +112 to pull down at least 10 boards, compared to -650 odds to net 10-plus points. Allen has at least 10 rebounds in nine of his past 10 games, and with his minutes up lately, I like his chances to get double-digit rebounds.

I'm also into Allen over 24.5 combined points and rebounds (-112), but this double-double bet is my favorite prop of the night.

New York Knicks at Milwaukee Bucks

Karl-Anthony Towns 2+ Made Threes (+100)

Karl-Anthony Towns' three-point numbers have taken a step back this campaign. The Milwaukee Bucks are a great matchup for him to get back on track from deep.

For the season, Milwaukee has surrendered the fourth-highest three-point attempt rate (44.4%). Over the last 30 games, the Bucks are allowing the eighth-most made threes per game to centers (1.6).

Towns is shooting only 4.5 threes per game, his fewest since 2017-18. He's also making just 36.7% from downtown, a significant drop from his three-point percentages of 41.6% and 42.0% over the last two seasons. But there's a long track record of Towns being an elite shooter, and he might be turning the corner as he's hit nine triples across his last three games.

Facing a forgiving three-point defense and starting to heat up from beyond the arc, KAT can nail multiple threes on Friday.
