Unmissable NBA Player Prop Bets for Thursday, February 5th, 2026
Get ready for an exciting night of basketball as Bryan Armetta reveals his top three player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for tonight's eight-game NBA slate. With the trade deadline looming, the action on the court is about to heat up!
Jalen Johnson: 2+ Three-Point Shots (-130)
The Hawks' Jalen Johnson is a rising star with a bright future. At 24, he's already an All-Star, averaging 23.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 8.0 assists with a stellar 50% field goal percentage. Johnson's three-point shooting has been a game-changer, with a career-high 36% three-point percentage and 4.7 shots per game. When Atlanta faces the Jazz, who allow the most points and three-pointers per game, Johnson's accuracy and confidence make him a strong bet to hit 2+ three-pointers.
Jalen Smith: 13+ Points (-113)
With the Bulls' recent trades, Jalen Smith is stepping up as a key player. Despite limited playing time, he's averaging 10.1 points and 6.9 rebounds. Smith's versatility as a scorer makes him a threat inside and out. When the Bulls face the Raptors, who are missing their starting center, Smith's ability to score and dominate the paint will be crucial. With at least 13 points in five of his last six games, he's a solid choice for a high-scoring performance.
Moussa Diabate: Under 9.5 Rebounds (-103)
The Hornets' Moussa Diabate is a defensive powerhouse, pulling down 8.5 rebounds per game. However, tonight's game against the Rockets, who excel at boxing out and allow the third-fewest rebounds, might challenge him. Diabate has struggled to reach double-digit rebounds in recent games, making this an under bet a smart choice. While he's a key player, the defensive battle and limited possessions might keep his rebound count below 9.5.
