Friday NBA Betting Guide: 2 Player Props and Best Bet for April 11

The final two days of the NBA regular season are upon us, and we have two prop plays and one spread to take in Friday’s action. First, watch for Kel’el Ware in a plus matchup against New Orleans as Miami looks to get the big man some run before their Play-In matchup next week.

In Dallas, Jason Kidd will need Klay Thompson to get going from beyond the arc before the Mavs head into Play-In action.

Kel’el Ware (MIA) OVER 10.5 Points

The Heat are gearing up for another postseason, this time as the 10 seed in the Eastern Conference. With the Play-In around the corner, I think Spo and Miami turn towards rookie big man Kel’el Ware to play some big minutes in big moments tonight against New Orleans and Yves Missi.

Ware has scored 11+ points in three of his last four, while dropping 10 points in his last matchup against New Orleans in just 17 minutes.

Klay Thompson (DAL) OVER 12.5 Points

Klay and the Mavs limp into the Play-In as the likely 10 seed. For Dallas to make any noise, they will need veteran wing Klay Thompson to make some noise from beyond the arc.

After a great stretch of play in late March including three straight 13+ point games, Klay needs to get going for the Kyrie-less Mavs in this game against the Raptors who he torched for 20 points in 25 minutes the last time they matched up.

Denver -6.5 over Memphis

Denver and their newly appointed interim coach, David Adelman, need to hit the right note tonight against Memphis to maintain their 4th seed positioning in the West. After winning their first game in the post Malone era on Wednesday, I have Denver beating the tired and beat-up Grizzlies tonight at home.

After Memphis is coming off a 16-point loss to Minnesota, Denver should come in and handle business, especially after turning up the heat defensively against LaVine and DeRozan on Wednesday in Sacramento.
