Closing out Friday night’s NBA slate, the Portland Trail Blazers will host the Toronto Raptors, who continue their West Coast trip seeking a third straight win.
Both teams have built some momentum heading into this contest. The Raptors started their road trip with a loss to the Lakers but have since beaten the Warriors and Kings to improve to 27-19. While the Trail Blazers are just above .500 at 23-22, they’ve won nine of their last 11 games, including four straight.
Each squad has persisted without several key contributors. RJ Barrett is questionable for Toronto after missing the last seven games with an ankle injury. Collin Murray-Boyles is also questionable, and Jakob Poeltl and Ja’Kobe Walter have been ruled out. Meanwhile, the Blazers downgraded Deni Avdija to doubtful on Friday afternoon, while Robert Williams and Duop Reath are both questionable. Veterans Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant are both off the injury report and expected to play both halves of Portland’s back-to-back.
The Raptors are 3.5-point road favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the point total set at 224.5.
Let’s dive into the matchup and find some solid player prop bets to consider for this matchup. You can play these picks individually or together in a Same Game Parlay (SGP).
Raptors vs. Trail Blazers Best Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jerami Grant Over 14.5 points (-117)
Grant’s scoring output has been solid this season, though the Blazers have been carefully managing his minutes. While he only had 12 points against Miami on Thursday, he played just 23 minutes. Now, he’s ready to go for the second night of the back-to-back.
He had 16 points in his first game back from injury last Thursday and followed it up with 22 points against the Lakers.
Grant is averaging 19.6 points in 29.6 minutes per game this season. He’ll likely still fall under that workload, but as long as he’s healthy enough for 20-plus minutes, he should garner enough usage to clear 15 points — especially if Avdija is sidelined.
Scottie Barnes Under 9.5 rebounds (-140)
The over/under on Barnes’ boards has moved from 8.5 up to 9.5 on Friday night. I liked the pick at under 8.5 and love it even more at 9.5. He has fallen under this prop line in all of his last 10 games since the calendar flipped to 2026.
With Murray-Boyles potentially returning, Barnes could end up with even less responsibility on the glass in the replenished frontcourt.
Barnes is a great player and can stuff the stat sheet on any given night. Still, his recent rebounding numbers have lagged considerably, and it’s a strong play to back his under once again on Friday night.
Jrue Holiday 20+ Points + Rebounds + Assists (-129)
Holiday is averaging 27 combined points, rebounds, and assists (PRA) this season, albeit a 17-game sample due to injuries. He has played 21 minutes or fewer in five straight games since returning, but he’s looked sharp and could ramp up even more on Friday, especially if Avdija is out.
Holiday had 24 PRA on Thursday night in the team’s win over the Heat, and he has cleared this prop line in three of his last four games in limited action.
With both Grant and Holiday, there’s a risk that the veterans will play just a few minutes or re-aggravate an injury. However, if they get anywhere near their typical minutes, each one should top their props highlighted in this post.
Holiday made a habit of torching Toronto during his time with the Celtics, and he should be ready to help the Blazers stay hot on Friday night.
Bonus Parlay Pick: Brandon Ingram Over 1.5 Threes (-125)
If you’re building an SGP (Same Game Parlay) for this Friday night finale, adding in the over on Ingram’s three-pointers takes it to a +850. If you want to mix in picks from other games, you can also build a strong SGPx with these core plays.
I broke down why I like Ingram’s over in my top 3PM for the night, but here’s the short version. He’s drilled at least two triples in five straight games while serving as a central figure of Toronto’s offense without Barrett.
