The Trail Blazers are hosting the Thunder on Sunday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Oklahoma City is favored by 14 points and this game carries a total of 226 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Deni Avdija prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Deni Avdija Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Deni Avdija U 18.5 Points + Assists (-120)

Besides Deandre Ayton (knee), the Trail Blazers are at full strength right now, with their top three players in Avdija, Anfernee Simons and Jerami Grant all healthy. These three players have made 14 starts together this season and in those contests, Avdija is only averaging 11.9 points and 3.4 assists per game.

Plus, this matchup with the Thunder is the worst possible spot for Avdija. Oklahoma City leads the league in defensive efficiency and in two matchups with the Thunder this season, Avdija is only averaging 14.5 PA per game and he has fell way short of 18.5 PA in both of these tilts.

The Trail Blazers carry a low 105.5-point implied team total Sunday and a blowout is a real possibility, with Oklahoma City favored by a whopping 14.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook. Avdija should struggle in this spot and backing him for this under is a smart move.
