PICKS TO CLICK

Markquis Nowell Over 10.5 Points (-122 FanDuel)

With Trent Forrest and Markus Howard out this is my top play of the day, but don't get me wrong, it does seem a little like the prop we played Thursday with Armoni Brooks, who started 0-of-3 and wound up benched. Nico Mannion and Quinn Ellis took down our Brooks play Thursday, and there's a chance Matteo Spagnolo could do the same Friday. There are slight differences in the fact that Nowell should start and Baskonia is accustomed to utilizing undersized guards with defensive liabilities -- something they have done with Howard for years. If you don't trust Nowell I completely understand, but I would advise you to look into Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot or Hamidou Diallo because someone is going to have a huge night. All in all, I will be utilizing the ladder strategy on Nowell's lines, but very responsibly, because it is tough to trust guys like Nowell who can't defend and rely a lot on making tough shots.

Codi Miller-McIntyre Over 16.5 Points+Assists (-125 bet365)

When Tyson Carter was ruled out earlier this week I had to stop myself from loading up on Miller-McIntyre because the Zalgiris matchup was horrendous, but I held off and now have a matchup with Real Madrid that is primed to go after. Miller-McIntyre did get 31 minutes in the first leg of the double-game week, but he's someone who can handle plenty of playing time, so as long as the game remains competitive and he avoids fouls he should get 26 minutes or more. He should also get Facundo Campazzo across from him at times, which could lead to some added aggressiveness.

Chris Jones Over 13.5 Points+Assists (-135 bet365)

I had to find some type of combined-stats prop in a game featuring the two teams allowing the most points in the league and a whopping total of 186.5. It's tough to take any of the Paris props with them running hockey-style rotations, so we turn to Hapoel and Jones. Paris is ceding both the third most points and third most assists to opposing guards, and after hitting on Vasilije Micic in Round 4 we will turn to Jones, who even on a team with Micic, Elijah Bryant and Antonio Blakeney is still commanding respectable usage.
