Sunday's Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Darius Garland Over 28.5 Points + Assists (-120)
The Cavaliers are still rolling with a perfect record at 14-0. They were a defensive-minded team in years past, but they have completely changed it up. They lead with their offense - leading the league with 123.4 points per game.
They have five players averaging double-digit points this season. Charlotte's defensive numbers look solid, but if you dig deeper, having the eighth-easiest schedule has helped. Playing the best offense should expose them.
We'll lock in on Darius Garland because he's been a great scorer and facilitator, with 20+ points and six or more assists in six of the past seven games.
Nikola Jokic Over 49.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)
Denver looks fantastic. They have won five of their last six, including giving Oklahoma City its first loss.
They will always be a top team when Nikola Jokic is on the floor. Once again, he leads the team in points (29.7), rebounds (13.7) and assists (11.7) per game. He will try to continue his MVP-like season against the Grizzles, who have lost back-to-back games and will be without Ja Morant.
Both play fast-paced, with each team's games averaging over 100 possessions, so we should expect a lot of scoring and involvement from Jokic.
Zach LaVine Under 20.5 Points (-110)
Houston had a fantastic start to the season in 2023, but you saw the inexperience come into play. What looked like a breakthrough season ended at .500, and the team missed the playoffs.
They are 9-4 and are third in defensive efficiency (1.042). They'll face the Bulls, who have lost six of their last eight games. Zach LaVine is their best scorer (21.9 points per game), but going against this Houston defense will be difficult as they allow the fewest points per game to the position (19.5). Houston is weaker with their frontcourt defense, so Chicago will look there to generate offense.
