Saturday's Best NBA Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Russell Westbrook Over 3.5 First-Quarter Points (-120)
In four games without Zach LaVine, Russell Westbrook is averaging almost five points in the first quarter, clearing this line in every game. He scored four first-quarter points against Portland just two days ago. The Trail Blazers are allowing the fifth-most points in the first quarter.
Alperen Sengun to Record a Double-Double (-145)
The Nuggets are one of the most favorable matchups for centers, ranking 10th in combined points + rebounds + assists allowed to centers. Alperen Sengun has recorded a double-double in 64% of games, including the last five. One of those games was against Denver, where he recorded a triple-double. Over the last three games, Sengun is averaging 30 combined rebound chances and potential assists.
Joel Embiid Over 23.5 Points (-108)
If you're a hit rate person, this one is not pretty. Joel Embiid has cleared this line in only 27% of games and in just one of his last five. The Mavericks allow the sixth-most points to centers, however. The 76ers are playing in the second leg of a back-to-back, but Embiid did not play in the first leg.
