Let’s tip the weekend off with some slam dunks in the NBA player prop markets. With 10 games on the schedule, there’s no shortage of options.
My favorites for today include Ace Bailey doing his best to sabotage the Utah Jazz’s tank job, while Chet Holmgren takes the Chicago Bulls by the horns and stuffs the stat sheet.
Those and more NBA picks for Friday, March 27, below.

Prop #1: Chet Holmgren Double-Double
The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to roll into a new winning streak when they play host to the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.
The Thunder can pull off these streaks because they can hurt you in so many ways. Just look at Chet Holmgren.
The Thunder big man is averaging 16 points and 9.9 rebounds in his 15 games played since the All-Star break.
His rebounding prop is sitting at 8.5 for this matchup, but our Covers Prop Projections have him at 9.4 rebounds against a Bulls defense that surrenders the third-most opponent rebounds per game.
That has me looking at Holmgren’s double-double prop, which is priced at 2/1.

Prop #2: Ace Bailey Over 20.5 Points
The Utah Jazz might have to start sitting down Ace Bailey if they want to fully embrace tank mode, because the Bailey breakout is for real.
Bailey is proving why he was worth a Top 5 pick. He’s averaging 21.9 points while shooting an impressive 42.9% from 3-point range over his last nine games. That includes putting up 32 or more points three times.
He gets a good matchup tonight against the Denver Nuggets. While Nikola Jokic and Co. are a machine on offense they are struggling at the other end of the floor. Denver ranks 21st in defensive rating and 18th in opponent made threes per game.
Expect another strong game from Ace tonight as he goes Over 20.5 points for the fourth time in five games.

Prop #3: Donovan Clingan Over 14.5 Points
The Portland Trail Blazers are a really exciting young team and that includes big man Donovan Clingan.
The second-year center is arguably playing his best basketball of the season. He’s averaging 16.8 points with a .598 effective field goal percentage over his last eight games, and I like Clingan to keep putting in work in tonight’s matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavs are a young team as well, with plenty of areas to work on, with the inside maybe being the most glaring. Dallas ranks dead last in the NBA in opponent points in the paint per game.
So, let’s back Clingan to go Over his point total of 14.5, a number that he’s topped in four of his last eight games.
