Let’s tip off Super Bowl weekend by building your bankroll with some NBA player prop winners, and with six games on the board, there’s no shortage of options.
My favorite plays today include Jaylen Brown continuing to crash the boards, and, slump or no slump, Anthony Edwards is going to keep shooting. Those and more NBA picks for Friday, February 6, are below.

Prop #1: Jaylen Brown Over 7.5 rebounds
Jaylen Brown was just named the NBA Player of the Month for January and he’s carried that strong play into February.
The Boston Celtics star averaged 29.2 points with 7.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists over 14 games, and today I want to focus on the rebounds.
Brown has been a beast on the boards, hauling down 9.8 per game over his last eight games, and tonight he faces one of my favorite rebounding fades, the Miami Heat.
The Heat’s high pace means a ton of shots, and in turn, a lot of rebounds. They surrender the second-most rebounds per game.

Prop #2: Anthony Edwards Over 3.5 threes
The New Orleans Pelicans may think they have a playoff-calibre roster. But that’s not what the stats say at this point.
The Pelicans rank 27th in defensive rating, and they really struggle on the perimeter, surrendering the second-most attempted and made threes per game.
That puts them in a tough spot against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ant is in a bit of a slump. But he’s a shooter. And shooters shoot.
Ant is still shooting better than 40% from beyond the arc and has still drained four-plus threes in eight of his last 14 games overall.

Prop #3: Bobby Portis Over 8.5 rebounds
The Indiana Pacers visit the Milwaukee Bucks in a matchup of two of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA.
The Bucks and Pacers rank 28th and 29th, respectively, in rebounding rate. And with Giannis Antetokounmpo still sidelined, the Bucks' only really reliable rebounder is Bobby Portis.
Portis is expected to return after missing a couple of games with a hip issue. Before that, he hauled down nine or more boards in three of his last four games.
Portis to record a double-double is worth a look, but Over 8.5 boards looks like a great bet tonight.
