Tonight is the penultimate less-than-full slate of NBA action this regular season, as all 30 NBA teams will take the court on both Friday and Sunday. There are only seven games tonight, but several have major consequences for the seeding race, with two of the teams still in play for top six seeds in the East set to take the court and the 8-9 battle in the West heating up. With just under half the league in action, there will be thousands of prop bets available at DraftKings Sportsbook for users to choose from.
Some of those prop bets have attracted more action than others. Information on which have been the most popular among the public is available on DraftKings Network’s Player Props Page. The Player Props tool provides all of the most bet player props by handle + odds on the DraftKings Sportsbook, updated as regularly as every five minutes!
I’ve taken some today’s most popular NBA player props on DraftKings Sportsbook and broken down exactly why the public is so fond of these, helping you make informed picks ahead of tonight’s NBA slate.

BREAK IT DOWN:
(stats taken from DraftKings Sportsbook’s Stats Hub)
Nikola Jokic Triple-Double (-141): Jokić is set to become the first player in NBA history to lead the league in both rebounds and assists per game, and he’s recorded a triple-double in more than half of his starts. In fact, he’s had a triple-double in six of his last eight games, and he’s averaging 26.8 points, 13.9 rebounds, and 11.6 assists per game since the All-Star break. He should have an extremely easy matchup tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies, who have been awful since the trade deadline. Across that span, they’ve given up the third-most points, most rebounds, and fourth-most assists per game.
Jalen Duren 1st Points Scorer (+449): Duren has kept the Detroit Pistons afloat during Cade Cunningham’s 11-game absence, leading them to an 8-3 record and averaging 22.0 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. Though he only scored the game’s first basket once in that span, he led the team in both first quarter and overall usage rate, and his burden was higher in the opening frame than in the last three frames.
Cunningham is expected to return from his injury tonight, but he’ll surely be on a minutes restriction and could be more passive as a scorer. Plus, given Duren’s efficiency as the roll man (a league-leading 1.46 points per possession among players with at least two such possessions per game), he could even benefit from his presence. Duren has an easy matchup against the pitiful Milwaukee Bucks, who rank sixth-to-last in defensive rating since January 24, a span in which Giannis Antetokounmpo has played just 162 total minutes.
Jamal Murray 1st Points Scorer (+361): While the Denver Nuggets are Jokić’s team, Murray is capable of plenty of scoring outbursts in his own right. Over the course of the Nuggets’ nine-game winning streak, Murray has scored 20 or more points eight times, including a 53-point effort against the Dallas Mavericks and 37 against the Utah Jazz. He canned the game’s first bucket twice in that span. Across the last nine games, Murray actually ranks second to Luka Dončić in points in the opening frame with 9.3 per contest, and Jokić (7.2) is pretty far behind. Also, Jokić is almost guaranteed to win the tip against a Grizzlies team that doesn’t have a healthy center.
3-Pick Parlay
It’s possible to place all three bets as singles, but you can also parlay them together and maximize the potential payout. Here’s how that might look:
Nikola Jokić Triple-Double (-141)
Jalen Duren 1st Points Scorer (+449)
Jamal Murray 1st Points Scorer (+361)
