Welcome to our Sleeper NBA DFS prop picks for Friday, December 8. There's a massive 13-game slate Friday, acting as the perfect lead-up to Satuday's inaugural In-Season Tournament Finale. Despite the fireworks that got us to this point, the Indiana Pacers and more importantly, Tyrese Haliburton, are running away with the show. Indiana has an unreal amount of momentum heading into this game and it starts and ends with how well Haliburton plays. The Lakers will need to lock-in their defense and even that won't be enough for how well Haliburton is playing. He's torched specialty defender after defender and the Lakers do not have a specific guy to keep up with him. It's either going to be a long game for the Lakers or a long game for Haliburton fans.
Sleeper offers some of the best and easiest-to-win NBA DFS games in the industry. Sleeper DFS works just like regular player prop betting -- there are no large-field tournaments to get lost in. You're not playing against other people; you're just playing against the projections. Here are some of our favorite NBA prop picks for Friday’s 13-game slate.

NBA DFS Props - Over/Under Picks for Friday, December 8
Luka Doncic OVER 9.5 Rebounds
Hard to pass on a line like this when Luka Doncic is stringing together massive performances. He pulled down at least nine rebounds in his last three games and the Trail Blazers aren’t exactly built to stop him. If the supporting Mavericks fail to convert then Portland has a chance, but Doncic is going to dissect this defense regardless.
Rebounds are the first stat Doncic will sacrifice if it’s required he puts more focus on offense, but there’s also the side of Doncic that chases rebounds with total awareness of the number amount. He’s grabbed double-digit rebounds in four of his last six outings and rarely disappears on the glass in games Dallas should win.
Julius Randle OVER 30.5 Points+Rebounds
You’d think having one 20-rebound game this season would solidify Julius Randle’s rebound line around somewhere like 9.5 or 10.5, but most sites are still offering 8.5 and that’s fine. He’s only hit this over in 50% of his last eight games, but last game was more like a playoff game so peripheral stats were likely to take a major hit anyway.
Normally, this would be a rebound-only bet, but sleeper isn’t offering it just yet. Until they release that line, points+rebounds, points+assists, and turnovers all have easily obtainable overs based on how Randle plays.
Bojan Bogdanovic OVER 2.5 Assists (22.5 Points+Assists if Assists-Only isn't offered)
The Pistons have been desperate for any improvement to this offense and Bojan Bogdanovic is absolutely that. He offers the spacing Isaiah Stewart couldn’t and that’s no fault against Beef Stew. Stewart has improved drastically, but he wasn’t yet ready for this type of shooters role. He’s still playing the role of an enforcer on this defense and that requires a ton of effort, so the improved shooting was just a nice bonus.
With his involvement of the offense, the Proptimizer and stat books are fading Bogdanovic for reasons that have to be related to the small sample size. The sportsbooks believe he has yet to prove himself and that’s just not true. Two games played this season and two games scoring 22 points? Mind you his usage rate last game was 24% and he played 32 minutes, the upside is there even against Orlando’s defense.
