• Steven Adams UNDER 8.5 Points (-115)
• James Harden OVER 8.5 Assists (-135)

Nets vs. Pistons: James Harden OVER 8.5 Assists (-135)

I don’t know what is going on with James Harden’s shot, but he is still one of the best passers in the NBA. Harden is averaging 8.9 assists per game and has hit double digit assists in the last two games. Harden has the second-highest assist percentage in the league at 42%. The Pistons have the fifth-worst defensive rating in the league. If Harden plays to his normal standards, tonight will be an easy hit for him. -- Donnavan Smoot

Grizzlies vs. Wizards: Steven Adams Under 8.5 Points (-115)

It's so low, but I think we are getting value on Adams point total. This game projects as a shootout but it may not factor the big fella all that much. The Wizards are top 10 in defensive rebounding rate, so they can clean the glass and force Grizzlies' coach Taylor Jenkins to deploy a more perimeter oriented lineup around the likes of Jaren Jackson Jr.

Not to mention, Adams has gone under this point total in five of eight games this season. Styles make fights, and I think we see a limited output from the Aussie on Friday night. -- Reed Wallach

Nets vs. Pistons: Joe Harris OVER 2.5 Threes Made (+110)

Joe Harris is a good shooter from beyond the arc, his winning of the 2019 All-Star Three-Point contest can attest to that. 

Harris is shooting above 40 percent from three-point range again this season and today will face a Detroit Pistons team that is dead-last in opponent three-point percentage. Harris made six threes in eight attempts in his last outing against the Atlanta Hawks and he is averaging three triples a game. 

I like Harris’ matchup tonight against the rookie Cade Cunningham, and with a value of +110, this prop is a great value on WynnBET Sportsbook. -- Thomas Snodgrass

Grizzlies vs. Wizards: Jaren Jackson Jr. OVER 5.5 Rebounds (+100)

Wednesday night's victory over the Denver Nuggets was Jackson's best performance of the season. He finished with 22 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists in just over 30 minutes, sporting a usage rate of 30.5%.

Tonight against the Wizards, Jackson should see 30-plus minutes again and use his length to find plenty of mismatches to either drain shots from outside, or bully up opposing forwards inside the paint. Every game Jackson has 30 or more minutes this year, he's gone over the 5.5 rebound projection. Expect Friday night vs. middle-paced team like Washington to be one of those games. -- Ben Heisler
