by |

With the NBA season in full swing, we have a few games to choose from today. Below are our favorite player prop bet picks for Sunday’s slate of NBA games.

And check out our other best bets for Sunday:

(All odds via FanDuel Sportsbook)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander UNDER 36.5 Points/Assist (-115)

The Mavericks are coming in playing phenomenally by winning eight of their last nine. Luka Doncic has been putting up cheat code numbers and came away with another triple-double on Saturday.

The Thunder’s future is bright with this young roster and will be a future contender. Recently, they had some notable wins, including against the Celtics.

Dallas plays an aggressive perimeter defense and is top nine against outside shooting and allowing the sixth-fewest assist to point guards.

Trae Young UNDER 26.5 Points (-125)

The Hawks are struggling and come in losing five out of their last six. The offense is playing well, but the defense continues to be their weak point as they are in the lower half of adjusted defensive rankings.

The Clippers are also on a bad run, losers of five straight. They’re struggling differently than Atlanta— they continue to be one of the better defensive teams in the league, but are at the bottom in scoring.

This is a matchup to favor LAC’s defense, especially in the backcourt and we won’t see a good statline from Young.

One thing the Clippers have done well is grabbing the first points of the game and they have hit in three of the last five. Marcus Morris has been controlling the ball for the offense and likes to attack and take the first shot.

Jabari Smith OVER 1.5 Threes (-128)

The Timberwolves were active in the offseason trying to improve this team. So far they have not met expectations as and are currently under .500. Last year’s top offense has taken a massive dip with the 19th adjusted offense, and the defense has not done any better.

There’s no other way to talk about the Rockets other than they’re rebuilding. They have a long way to go before competing again, especially as they sit in the bottom ten in scoring offense and defense.

The T-Wolves are one of the worse three-point defenses in the league and they especially struggle with defending it in the post. Smith is going to have an exceptional night shooting from long range.
