NBA Best Bets: Top Chet Holmgren player props for Thunder vs. Nuggets Game 2

The Oklahoma City Thunder led the Denver Nuggets for most of their Game 1 matchup — until the final seconds when Aaron Gordon buried a go-ahead three-pointer to win it. In tonight’s Game 2, Chet Holmgren will have to step up his production after posting just 12 points to start this series.

Here’s the top Chet Holmgren prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Thunder vs. Nuggets Game 2 on Wednesday night.

Best Chet Holmgren prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Holmgren’s prop lines on DraftKings Sportsbook currently sit at 16.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line is set at 26.5 across the three major categories.

The Thunder enter as 10-point favorites with -485 odds on the Moneyline. On the other side of the coin, the Nuggets hold +370 Moneyline odds with a game total of 229.5 in this battle between high-powered offenses.

Holmgren’s been the third banana for this Thunder team in the postseason so far. In five games, he averages 17.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and an impressive 3.0 blocks per contest.

There’s two top prop bets to consider for the 23-year-old big man tonight. Over 16.5 points holds appeal at -105 odds since the Thunder like to push the tempo. Holmgren has eclipsed this line in three of five appearances through these playoffs, and although he’s gone under in his last two games, this still feels like solid value on a pretty low line.

The other top prop comes in the blocks market. Holmgren is known more for his defensive prowess than anything else, and he’s a threat to stuff more shots than anyone with his lanky frame and long wingspan. Over 2.5 blocks looks good at +114 odds, but since Holmgren has recorded four blocks in multiple games this postseason, his alt line of 4+ also looks intriguing at a +265 listing.
