Sunday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bet Picks
Here are a few of our top NBA player prop bet picks for Sunday’s pair of deciding Game 7s.
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Jalen Brunson Over 35.5 Points (-105)
This has been an exciting series because it comes down to a Game 7, but most of the games haven’t been competitive. That was the case in Game 6, as the Pacers controlled the game early on and won 116-103. We haven’t yet seen the road team win in this series, which gives the Knicks the advantage.
The bright stage of Madison Square Garden is where Jalen Brunson has shined, averaging 38.6 points per game at home in this series. He’s also played 43+ minutes twice at home so he will leave it all on the court in this one. Look for him to get off a possible 30 shots in this game.
Nikola Jokic Over 30.5 Points (+102)
This series has been a carbon copy of its Eastern Conference counterfeit. It’s exciting because it has reached a Game 7, but most of the games have been blowouts. How will the champs respond after suffering one of the worst losses in playoff history?
Nikola Jokic hasn’t been dominant in all facets like he usually is — zero triple-doubles and hasn’t recorded a double-double since Game 2. However, he has been able to score, while the rebounds and assists have kept his combo props under. That’s why you should attack his points prop. He will continue to be aggressive with the ball to keep Denver’s season alive.
