There’s nothing like heading into the weekend with a huge wad of cash in your pocket, right? And if you’re an NBA bettor, the best way to grab extra cash is by betting on NBA Friday player props. We’re focusing on Jordan Poole and Bam Adebayo in today’s eight-game NBA action.

Heat vs. Bucks Betting Lines: Point Spread, Moneyline, Total

Friday night caps off with an all-Eastern Conference clash between the Miami Heat (between +100 and +105) and Milwaukee Bucks (between -118 and -125). The point total is around 219 points — the lowest of any contest on today’s schedule.

Below are the betting lines from top sports betting apps for all eight games on Friday’s schedule.

Player Props for NBA Friday

Jordan Poole Over 27.5 Points (-105, BetMGM)

Steph Curry is out tonight, and Poole should once again back up his nickname as the “third Splash Brother.” Poole is averaging 27.0 points a night and has hit this line in about half of his games in the superstar point guard’s absence this season.

But we’re not looking at his recent form — we’re diving head-first into the matchup. Houston allows the most points to point guards and it’s not even close, so Poole should be able to comfortably put points on the board.

Adebayo has cleared this line in all three meetings against the Milwaukee Bucks so far this season, logging 11, 12, and 13 rebounds in those outings. Milwaukee will be without the NBA’s second-leading rebounder in Giannis Antetokounmpo, who owns a ton of real estate in the paint.

His recent form is exactly average, logging 11-plus rebounds in half of his last six outings. But with Bobby Portis being the only man standing in his way on the glass, it should be fairly easy for Adebayo to top this mark.
