Sunday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Jared McCain 13+Points (-117)
Jared McCain is averaging 14.3 points over his last three games. The Thunder guard is connecting on 41% of his attempts in this series against San Antonio. McCain’s shot attempts are on the rise. The young guard averaged 7.2 shots per game during the regular season, but is averaging 13 attempts against the Spurs.
McCain scored 13+ points in three out of the previous six contests. He is averaging 12.8 points on 47.6% shooting from the field and 38.9% from deep over that span. McCain is averaging 26 minutes off the bench through the previous two games.
This line is somewhat aggressive, given the unpredictability of Oklahoma City's rotation and the reliance on efficiency. Having said that, McCain scored 24 points on 47.6% shooting from the field in 27 minutes when Oklahoma City last played San Antonio.
The Thunder guard is performing at a very high level in this series and absolutely has an opportunity to finish with at least 13 points tonight.
Isaiah Hartenstein 3+ Assists (+106)
This prop dipped all the way down to +115 return on Friday, and it makes all the sense to roll with it for one more contest. Isaiah Hartenstein gets the unfortunate task of guarding Victor Wembanyama. While that will likely hinder the scoring performance of the Oklahoma City center, we have an opportunity to clear a rather light assists total.
Hartenstein is averaging 2.6 assists in the postseason. The 28-year-old has finished with three or more assists in three out of the last four games. Hartenstein averaged 3.3 assists when playing on the road in the regular season.
The Thunder center has accounted for at least three assists in six consecutive games when Oklahoma City was an underdog against a Western Conference opponent. This selection ultimately comes down to playing time. If Hartenstein can see at least 25 minutes on the court, our chances of him recording three assists tremendously improve.
Victor Wembanyama 2+ Made Three-Pointers (-140)
The Spurs will most certainly be looking to tie this series up with a win at home. Victor Wembanyama is knocking down his fair share of three-point attempts in the playoffs - especially at home. So we like his chances to finish this contest with at least two made three-pointers.
The Spurs center is shooting 36.4% from deep in the playoffs. He hit at least two three-pointers in five out of the previous eight games. The young phenom has also made 40% or more of his three-point attempts in five out of the last seven games.
Wembanyama averaged 2.3 baskets from above the perimeter when playing at home this season. He connected on an extra 7.1 attempts in home games during the regular season. Wembanyama is shooting 47.6% from beyond the arc through the previous eight games against Oklahoma City.
Cason Wallace 9+ Points (-114)
Normally known for defensive production, Cason Wallace has been a surprising source of points in this series against San Antonio. The Thunder utilizes over 10 players per game and tends to stick with the hot hand. While this could limit our chances for success, Wallace has made too much of an impact in the first three games to lose playing time.
The Thunder guard is averaging 27 minutes, 10.3 points and shooting 50% from the field in this series. The young guard has also connected on 8-of-20 attempts from beyond the arc. Wallace has only attempted six free throws in the last six games. Yet, he has scored at least eight points in three out of the last five contests.
The Thunder guard owns a 74.2% true shooting rate in this series. The minutes leave a small room for error. Nevertheless, you can't argue with the shooting efficiency or success rate. Wallace has finished with at least nine points in four out of the last six postseason contests.
Luguentz Dort 3+ Rebounds (-106)
Luguentz Dort has been quite successful in reaching this projected line of three rebounds, and there's no reason to believe that will not continue today.
Dort remains a solid rebounding option for Oklahoma City. Jalen Williams is still dealing with a hamstring injury, which could provide an extra opportunity for Dort if Williams is unable to suit up. Make sure to check the BettingPros App later for all of your up-to-date information.
Dort is averaging 2.7 rebounds in the postseason. The veteran forward has grabbed at least three rebounds in all three games in this series against the Spurs. Dort faced the Spurs on six occasions in the regular season and playoffs, averaging three rebounds over that span.
Dort has finished with three or more boards in 10 out of 11 games against San Antonio. The Thunder forward recorded at least three rebounds in nine consecutive contests in which Oklahoma City came in as the underdog.
Enjoy the game tonight. Best of luck with your picks.
