Sunday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Luka Doncic Over 31.5 Points (-120)
The Mavericks have been a streaky team all season, and right now, they are looking good by winning four straight. Luka has been a driving force for them all year, as he leads the league with 34.8 points and is third with 9.8 assists. Dallas has yet to beat Denver this year, but Doncic has been great in both games with 30+ points, 10+ rebounds, and eight assists.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 50.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)
The Bucks are playoff-bound, but where they’ll be seeding is still the question. It seemed like they were progressing with Doc Rivers at the helm, but they had a brutal trip to California and went just 1-3. They’re home facing the Suns, who have also played inconsistent lately, going 6-6 in their last 12. Phoenix did come away with the win in the last matchup, but Giannis had a fantastic game with 34 points and 10 rebounds. In fact, he’s been their driving force by leading the team in points in 12 of their last 14 and Points + Rebounds + Assists in eight of those. That was the case in the previous game in Phoenix, so look for that level of dominance at home.
Jimmy Butler Over 21.5 Points (-115)
The Heat are currently slated for the Play-In Tournament, but the field is so close in the Eastern Conference that they could easily climb and get a guaranteed playoff spot. They get what should be an easy matchup against the Pistons who they’ve beaten three times and by 13 on Tuesday. Bam Adebayo was a big part of the last game but look for Butler in this one. Detroit struggles against small forwards allowing the ninth-most points to the position, but Butler is versatile to where he’s an impactful shooter from anywhere on the court.
