Best NBA Prop Picks: Lock In This Expert's Best NBA Prop Bets for Friday

After getting beat by multiple hooks, we're back and ready to attack tonight's slate of 14 games.

With so many options in the player prop market, I've added five of my favorite bets for tonight's slate.

Let's get right to it!

January 5 Best NBA Player Props

Derrick White Over 16.5 Points (-104) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

Derrick White has added at least 17 points in each of his last eight games. He's hit this line in nine of his last ten and is facing a Jazz defense that has allowed the second-most points per game to shooting guards this season.

White has been money from downtown. He added 3.4 threes per game in December and shot 43.5% from three. He also began January hitting five threes on nine attempts against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

White's volume isn't going to be super high with so many stars around him. But he's efficient enough to add nearly more than 17 points per game.

Collin Sexton Over 15.5 Points (-115) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

Collin Sexton is third on the Jazz in scoring this year. He's added nearly 16 points per game but has hit at least 16 points in nine of his last ten games.

The only game where Sexton didn't secure 16 points was against Dallas, after he played only 19 minutes in a 127-90 blowout win for the Jazz.

The Utah point guard scored 21.1 points per game in December and just added 25 points in 30 minutes against the Pistons last time out.

He's got a knack for getting to the foul line and will take multiple threes per game. He's also facing a Boston defense that is 27th in points allowed to point guards.

Grayson Allen Over 2.5 Assists (-156) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

We've won with this line previously. We'll give it a go again.

Grayson Allen has added at least three assists in six straight games. He's hit this line in 66% of matchups and has nailed this line in seven of his last ten games.

Allen is facing a Miami defense that ranks 28th in assists from small forwards.

It's unclear if Kevin Durant will play, but Allen still has multiple threats that can score playing alongside him, like Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.

Isaac Okoro Over 2.5 Assists (-113) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

The Washington Wizards are dead last in assists allowed to small forwards. Isaac Okoro has added at least three assists in eight of his last ten games. He's also on a three-game streak with at least three assists.

Okoro only played 20 minutes against Washington last time out after the Cavaliers earned a 140-101 blowout win. Even with 20 minutes, Okoro earned three assists against Washington.

If this game is a blowout, Okoro will have his opportunities. If it's not a blowout, he'll have more minutes and even more opportunities. Take his Over.

Chet Holmgren Over 1.5 Threes (-174) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

Chet Holmgren has nailed at least two threes in seven of his last ten games. He's also hit this line in four straight games and has already had previous success against the Nets, shooting 60% from downtown against Brooklyn earlier this year. Holmgren's volume isn't always high. He only took four threes per game in December. But he's nailed at least 40% from downtown in five of his last six games. He's shooting the ball really well right now. Therefore, we want to be on his Over line. Let's take Holmgren to bury two threes against the Nets tonight.
