March 4 NBA Player Props – Friday Picks and Player Over/Unders
By Chris Amberley in NBA Basketball
Published:
- The NBA season rolls on Friday (March 4) with a nine-game slate
- Player props are available for a handful of the games so far
- See below to find out where we think the betting value lies
Friday night in the NBA brings nine games for us to sweat, which means lots of opportunity in the player props market.
The slate is loaded with stars, as names like Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and DeMar DeRozan are all expected to suit up, but we’re going to target some less prominent players on our betting card.

Odds as of March 4th at DraftKings
The action for us starts in OKC, where Patrick Beverley is a strong candidate for yet another high volume assist game.
Pick #1: Patrick Beverley Over 4.5 Assists
Beverley’s Timberwolves are 7.5-point favorites over the Thunder, a team he played very well against in his only meeting this season. He went for a season-high 20 points and 6 assists in a 98-90 victory, and has racked up 13 dimes in his past two games.

Last time out versus Golden State, he dished out 7 assists in just 22 minutes, and OKC is very generous to opposing point guards. The Thunder rank 22nd in opponent assists, and just coughed up 10 dimes to Sacramento’s De’Aaron Fox on Monday.
Pick #2: RJ Barrett Under 23.5 Points
RJ Barrett is getting a ton of love by oddsmakers following his latest three-game stretch. Barrett has put up 46, 24, and 30 points in his last three contests, but now he faces the NBA’s best team as a heavy underdog. Phoenix ranks third in defensive rating, and sixth in scoring defense, and is still a handful for enemy shooters even without Chris Paul.

— The Knicks Wall (@TheKnicksWall) March 3, 2022
The Suns are yielding just 106 points per game without Paul since the All-Star break, and are fresh off holding Portland to just 90 points.
Barrett enters play averaging 18.9 points per game, and was held to only 10 points, on 3-of-10 shooting, in his only meeting with Phoenix this season.
