Sunday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Isaiah Hartenstein Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (-105)
The Thunder will be the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference as they ran away with it this year. It's tough not to have them as the favorite to win it all just because of how deep this roster is. They dealt with injuries throughout the season, most notably Chet Holmgren, but there was no regression even without their former first-round pick.
They're battling the Lakers, who have nothing secure heading into the last week of the regular season. They are sitting in the third seed, but only 1.5 games separate them from the No. 8 seed, so they could fall as low as the Play-In Tournament.
One problem they didn't address after trading Anthony Davis was acquiring another big man, which has been their weak point. That's why we could see a big game from Hartenstein. He will have the matchup advantage throughout this game, and the Thunder could be looking his way.
Darius Garland Over 2.5 Threes (-120)
Barring some epic collapse, the Cavaliers should hold onto the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. It's been a massive turnaround for them to have asserted themselves as a legitimate championship contender. They changed their style and went from a defensive-centric team to focusing on offense. As a result, they lead the league in points per game (122.2).
Anyone on that starting five can be a primary scorer, including Garland who is second on the team in points per game (20.4) and leads in assists (6.7). They are matching up against Sacramento, who are two games ahead for the tenth seed, so they aren't just going to roll over. The Kings' biggest struggle has been defending the three, as they are last in opponent field goal percentage (38.4%) and opponent field goals made per game (14.7%). Garland is excellent at picking his spots from three, so he's shooting 40% this season. He should see plenty of opportunities to get those looks.
