NBA Player Prop Picks for Friday: Desmond Bane, Nikola Vucevic & More

We've got a large slate in the NBA tonight, including a couple of ESPN games on the slate. I've looked through all the NBA props and found three of my favorites.

Let us know if you're tailing! Here are three prop bets to consider for tonight's NBA slate.

Best NBA Player Props for Friday, October 21

Desmond Bane Over 20.5 Points (-102) (Bet $100 to collect $98)

Desmond Bane scored 16 points in Memphis' home opener against the Knicks. He went 3-for-13 from downtown and shot just 6-for-22 from the field. He will not be averaging 23.1% from three and 27.3% from the field throughout the season.

Look for Bane to get back on track against Houston tonight. If the volume is there like it was on Wednesday, he'll get over 20.5 points in tonight's contest.

Nikola Vucevic Over 10.5 Rebounds (+105) (Bet $100 to collect $205)

In 33 minutes against the Heat, Nikola Vucevic tallied 15 points with 17 rebounds. Yes, you read that right. Vucevic is an integral portion of this Bulls team, especially with Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball out and injured.

Vucevic was active on the offensive glass, earning five offensive rebounds in their game against the Heat. Knowing he'll be able to grab rebounds on both sides of the ball is encouraging. I'll take this plus-money prop, needing 11 rebounds out of Vucevic.

Kelly Oubre Over 16.5 Points (-110) (Bet $100 to collect $90) 

Kelly Oubre went 5-for-10 from the field in the Hornets' opening game. He scored 13 points and added one three on three attempts.

Last year, Oubre averaged 15 points per game, declining with his stats from over the years. But with Charlotte this season, Oubre has a more critical role as the team's starting shooting guard. He'll have more minutes in tonight's game against the Pelicans, as we have a good idea that this game will not be a blowout. With extra volume, Oubre should be able to reach 17 points tonight.
