February 6, 2026

Get Keith Eyster's top NBA player props and expert picks for Friday, 2/6/26. Uncover today's best value bets, model projections, and live odds to beat the books.

Welcome back to another edition of RotoBaller's NBA Props! There are six games on the schedule today, beginning at 7:30 pm ET.

We have made it through the trade deadline and should now have some situations where we can take advantage of rotation additions/subtractions from various teams. Plenty of teams will be shorthanded as they wait for trades to be finalized. As always, the injury report will also play a key role, so make sure to have an eye on the news throughout the day.

In this article, I will provide my favorite NBA player props picks for Friday, February 6th. Prop picks can range from individual stats, such as points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, and defensive statistics, to combination props (Points + Rebounds + Assists = PRA). All odds and sportsbooks used are listed, but it's always a good idea to shop around, as odds change throughout the day as bets are placed. Alright, let's get to the picks already!

Today’s Best NBA Picks for Player Props

Let’s take a look at the top player props for today’s NBA slate:

• Pascal Siakam over 24.5 Points
• Kevin Porter Jr. over 16.5 Points
• Bobby Portis over 7.5 Rebounds
• GG Jackson II over 19.5 Points + Rebounds
• Jaden McDaniels over 14.5 Points

Pascal Siakam over 24.5 Points (-105 DraftKings), (-110 NOVIG)

The Pacers made a big addition at the trade deadline, bringing Ivica Zubac over from the Clippers. However, Zubac is not yet with the team. Additionally, Bennedict Mathurin and Isaiah Jackson were part of the return going to Los Angeles, so Indiana will also be short those two players. Pascal Siakam leads the Pacers in usage at 29%, and that number rises even further with Mathurin out of the lineup. In 20 games with Mathurin inactive this season, Siakam has posted a 30.7% usage rate and averages 24.9 points per game.

Tonight's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks further improves his outlook. Milwaukee has slid all the way to 24th in defensive rating this season, and they will again be without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks have allowed 117.2 points per 100 possessions with Giannis on the floor this season, while that number falls to 119.1 points when he is off the floor.

Kevin Porter Jr. over 16.5 Points (-102 FanDuel), (+102 NOVIG)

The Milwaukee Bucks were mostly quiet at the deadline, despite rumors swirling across the league about the availability of Giannis Antetokounmpo. The superstar will remain with the Bucks at least until the off-season, but he will be out for this game with an injury. Bobby Portis has a chance to return after sitting out the last two games, but he is listed as questionable on the injury report, and his status remains up in the air.

Kevin Porter Jr. has been a key cog in the Milwaukee offense all season, and that should be no different in this matchup. He returned from a multi-week injury absence in the last game and played more than 29 minutes off the bench. He could return to the starting lineup tonight, but even if he doesn't, he should still play around 30 minutes. In nine games with Antetokounmpo inactive, KPJ has posted a 28% usage and averaged 19.9 points per game. He also gets a great matchup against Indiana's 20th-ranked defense, and the plus-money on NOVIG is a great value.

Top NBA Value Picks and Sleeper Props

Betting on superstars is always exciting, but the best value often lies in the margins of a roster. Role players and emerging contributors can offer hidden edges, especially as the season wears on and injuries start to shake up rotations. We don't want to wager only on superstars; it's often the role players and less-known players who may offer us the best markets.

Let’s dive into some of the top value plays for today’s NBA slate.

Bobby Portis over 7.5 Rebounds (-112 Bet365), (-134 NOVIG)

Milwaukee big man Bobby Portis has missed the last two games with a hip injury, but he has a chance to return tonight. If he is active, he should be a full-go, with a chance to play mid-30s minutes from the starting lineup thanks to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The matchup sets up perfectly for him to be extremely active on the glass. Indiana paid a hefty price to acquire Ivica Zubac at the trade deadline to improve their near league-worst rebounding numbers, but he will not be available for this game. Portis has averaged 8.1 rebounds across 17 games with Antetokounmpo inactive, and he has a strong chance to beat that average in this great spot.

GG Jackson II over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (-105 Bet365)

The Memphis Grizzlies made a big move at the trade deadline, although not the move most everyone was expecting. They ended up shipping off Jaren Jackson Jr., and not Ja Morant. They also parted ways with Jock Landale, which leaves them thin in the frontcourt while Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke remain out. Santi Aldama is also out for this game, which should open a path for GG Jackson to play starter's minutes. Jackson has played at least 21 minutes in the last three games, and he's averaged 16.0 points and 6.3 rebounds per game during that stretch. He should play closer to the 27 minutes he saw from the starting lineup last game, with upside for 30+ minutes.

The matchup against Portland further improves the outlook for Jackson. Portland plays at the seventh-fastest pace in the league and ranks just 19th in defensive efficiency.

Jaden McDaniels over 14.5 Points (-122 DraftKings), (-124 NOVIG)

Timberwolves wing Jaden McDaniels has been on an absolute tear over the last four games and is quietly putting together the best season of his career. He is averaging a career-best 15.2 points per game while shooting better than 45% from three-point range, and he's scored at least 19 points in four straight games.

Jaden McDaniels is foundational to MIN's success as a play finisher/primary defender...

He's shooting 45.6% from 3. 7-foot wingspan & on the VERY short list of players that are elite on-ball defenders AND weak-side rim protectors. Top-tier in his role.pic.twitter.com/oX6bSrncLr

— Basketball University (@UofBasketball) February 4, 2026

He gets the perfect matchup to continue his hot streak against the New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans ranks just 27th in defensive efficiency, and they have allowed the second-most three-pointers in the league. McDaniels scores over 31% of his points from beyond the arc.
