Best NBA prop bets today for Kings vs. Celtics (Jrue Holiday could be in line for big game)

The Boston Celtics have already locked up the best record in the NBA this season, but they’re still looking to finish the campaign strong when they take on the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.

This is the second game of a back-to-back for the Kings, but they won’t have to face Boston at full strength in this matchup. 

With Jaylen Brown and Derrick White both ruled out for this game, how should we bet on Boston?

Here’s a look at my favorite props for Friday night’s action: 

Kings vs. Celtics best NBA prop bets 

• Jrue Holiday OVER 14.5 points
• Kristaps Porzingis OVER 1.5 blocks

Jrue Holiday OVER 14.5 points

This is a solid spot for Jrue Holiday to have an expanded offensive role with White and Brown not in the lineup. 

This season, the Celtics defensive star guard is averaging 14.0 points per game when White sits (five games), and he’s seen double digit shot attempts in 80 percent of those games.

That’s huge for Holiday in this prop, as he’s attempted double-digit shots in just eight of 20 games since the start of February.

Someone is going to have to score for Boston, and while Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis should get the lion’s share of the touches, Jrue is going to be next in line. I like taking him at anything under 16.5 points to go OVER tonight. 

Kristaps Porzingis OVER 1.5 blocks

I’m a big fan of this prop for Kristaps Porzingis, who blocked six shots in his last matchup with the Kings.

KP has multiple blocks in five of his last six games, and he’s averaging 1.9 blocks per game on the season. 

While Domantas Sabonis is tough in the paint, he also plays out of the post a lot, giving Porzingis a chance to get some deflected shots or blocks out of that action. Given his recent stretch of blocking shots, KP is worth a shot at this price.
