NBA Player Props for Friday, February 7
- Scottie Barnes Under 5.5 Assists (+120)
- Gradey Dick Over 3.5 Rebounds (+105)
- Lauri Markkanen Over 5.5 Rebounds (-120)
Scottie Barnes Under 5.5 Assists (+120)
Raptors vs Thunder, 8 p.m. ET
We hit this on Sunday against the Clippers, and this is another tough matchup.
Barnes leads the team in assists (6.4) and potential assists (12.2) per game, but he's done it largely without Immanuel Quickley. When Quickley returned in January after missing nearly two months, he slotted back into the primary distributor role. He led the team in assists and potential assists over the first six games of 2025, with Barnes falling to 4.8 assists on 9.7 potential assists. Quickley then got hurt again, and the assists returned for Barnes. He spiked a nine-dime game on Wednesday against Memphis.
Quickley is back tonight, which should push Barnes back into more of a scoring role. This is a nightmare matchup, too. Oklahoma City leads the league in defensive rating and points allowed per game. The Thunder are holding opponents to the fourth-fewest assists per game. The Thunder are favored by nearly 20 points at home. And if the spot weren't imposing enough, Oklahoma City is also expected to get defensive stalwart Chet Holmgren back in the lineup.
The Raptors will likely need to keep this game competitive for Barnes to earn his normal allotment of minutes. If they get blown out, he'll likely sit the fourth — which means less time to get assists.
Pick: Scottie Barnes Under 5.5 Assists (+120)
Gradey Dick Over 3.5 Rebounds (+105)
Raptors vs Thunder, 8 p.m. ET
We hit this last time out, as Dick matched his season-high with seven rebounds. He did it on nine rebound chances. We shouldn't expect that level of efficiency again, but the increase in opportunities was there. RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl have been ruled out again. That means Toronto will be without a wing who plays 33 minutes a night and its best rebounder.
Dick is averaging 3.4 rebounds on 6.2 rebound chances per game. This line seems fair if you just look at those season-long marks. However, we have a big chunk of the season in which Dick was playing more and rebounding more. From November through December, Dick averaged 4.2 rebounds on 7.4 rebound chances. The Raptors were missing multiple pieces, which helped Dick average 31.8 minutes per game. Immanuel Quickley and Bruce Brown returned in January and Dick averaged just 2.8 rebounds and 26 MPG for the month.
Kelly Olynyk started in place of Poeltl on Wednesday and posted a massive 18 rebound chances. He's since been traded to New Orleans. Davion Mitchell was also traded, removing another guard from the mix. The minutes and opportunities should be there tonight. In the 25 games he's played 30+ minutes, Dick has averaged 3.8 rebounds.
Oklahoma City has improved on the glass after adding Isaiah Hartenstein, but is still a weak unit. The Thunder rank 24th in rebounding rate and 25th in rebounds allowed on the season. The Thunder are a massive 19-point favorite, but we just saw how Toronto handled a blowout situation. Memphis hammered the Raptors by 30+ on Wednesday and Dick not only matched Scottie Barnes for the team lead with 32 minutes, he also played the majority of the final seven minutes of the game (they pulled him with 20 seconds left). His minutes seem blowout-proof right now.
Pick: Gradey Dick Over 3.5 Rebounds (+105)
Lauri Markkanen Over 5.5 Rebounds (-120)
Jazz vs Suns, 10 p.m. ET
The blowout is a small concern here, but this line is still too low. The Suns are a below-average rebounding team and Markkanen has been playing well recently, hitting the over at this number in five of the past six games.
If Durant misses this game, there's a decent chance it stays close. And even if Durant does play, Markkanen can still get there. I have Markkanen projected to hit the over here at close to a 60% clip, making this a good EV bet.
Pick: Lauri Markkanen Over 5.5 Rebounds (-120)
