It's a 9-game Friday night slate with one of the bigger storylines being the Bucks visiting the Bulls for the first time since a Grayson Allen foul has sidelined Alex Caruso since January with a wrist injury. Is retribution coming against Allen tonight or do the Bulls take the high road?

🏀Top 5 Player Props March 4th 🏀

LineStar has a new Player Prop tab that lets you search for the best individual props through apps such as DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and PointsBet. Here are some of the best bets for tonight:

🏀Deandre Ayton (Over 10.5 rebounds) -Ayton hasn't eclipsed double-digit rebounds in five games, but the Knicks have allowed 12 to Joel Embiid, 16 to Bam Adebayo, and 19 to Andre Drummond over their last four games.

🏀Bobby Portis (Over 8.5 rebounds) - Bulls allowed 11 rebounds to Clint Capela last night, 4th time in last 5 an opposing center had 11+. Portis has a dozen plus rebounds in his last 3 vs. his old team.

🏀Brandon Ingram (Over 20.5 points) - Seems to be finding his mesh with CJ McCollum, scoring 28+ in 2 of last 3.

🏀Tyrese Haliburton (Over 8.5 assists) - Has dished out at least 8 assists in 5 of the last 7 games and now matches up against a Detroit team that is 26th in defensive efficiency.

🏀Mo Bamba (Yes to record a double double) - Mo Bamba has posted consecutive double-doubles and tonight plays a Raptors team on the back to back. Bamba had 18 rebounds in his only meeting with Toronto this season and Wendell Carter, Jr. is questionable (illness).
