Sunday's Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Isaiah Hartenstein Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (-125)
We continue to ride with Hartenstein as long as he keeps clearing his props. He's been able to take advantage of Denver's inability to contain the big man, as they are 22nd in points + rebounds allowed to centers. He's cleared this total in four straight and six straight in the playoffs.
It has a lot to do with the Nuggets not being able to stop players from the paint; the Nuggets were last in field goals allowed from 8-16 feet (6.1) and 18th from within eight feet (21.6), and within 15 feet is where Hartenstein takes most of his field attempts.
Russell Westbrook Over 18.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-125)
The Nuggets have been able to get these wins because their second unit has kept them in contention. It's been important for those key bench players to come in and contribute against a Thunder roster with that built-in depth.
That's why Westbrook has been a great addition, getting those important minutes. He's been on a great run recently with double-digit points in five of his last six games and shooting 51.6% in that span. He's been a confident pick, clearing this projection in five of his previous six games against OKC and 12 of 15 at home.
Evan Mobley Over 28.5 Points + Rebounds (+100)
The Cavaliers got all of their injured players back, and it was just the energy they needed as they grabbed an important win on the road, guaranteeing they would go back to Cleveland. They still have to get out of the hole they put themselves in, as they do not face an elimination game. However, now that they have their lineup back, it will put them in a great position.
Getting Mobley on the court was a big one because it added the size that they needed. He made his presence known with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Indiana doesn't have the size or physicality to hold down some like him. He cleared this prop in four straight against Indiana, and he was looked at a lot in Game 3 and should be going forward.
