The Raptors are visiting the Rockets on Sunday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Houston is favored by nine points and this game presents a total of 223.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Scottie Barnes prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Scottie Barnes Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Scottie Barnes U 33.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-125)

Barnes has stayed under 33.5 PRA in four straight starts and the forward is in a tough spot Sunday, going against the Rockets on the road. Houston ranks fourth in defensive efficiency this season and when these two clubs met in Toronto in December, Barnes posted an underwhelming stat line of six points, 10 rebounds and four assists, despite seeing a full workload of 38 minutes. In that start, Barnes shot a miserable 2-of-15 from the field, which is his worst shooting performance of the season.

RJ Barrett (concussion) is out for Toronto, but Immanuel Quickley is healthy and in the 11 games Barnes and Quickley have played together this season, Barnes is averaging 20 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, which equates to 32.3 PRA per game. Notably, with Quickley on the floor this season, Barnes’ assist rate plummets 7.9 percentage points.

The 33.5 PRA line is simply too high of a number for Barnes on Sunday and he is a terrific bet for this under.
