The NBA concludes a six-game Sunday night schedule with a matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Toronto Raptors. The Lakers are playing for the second night in a row after losing in Portland without Luka Doncic. Doncic and LeBron James are both questionable, but let’s take a look at some of the great player prop bets to consider in the Sunday night NBA finale, which tips off at 9:30 p.m. ET.
The Lakers are 1.5-point home favorites, with the point total set at 223.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Los Angeles has dropped five of its last six games, slipping to 24-16 on the year and sitting No. 6 in the Western Conference. On the other side, the Raptors are currently the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference at 25-18. They have the rest advantage since they haven’t played since Friday, but they did have to travel from Toronto to Los Angeles. The Raptors are 5-3 in their last eight games but lost three of their last four. RJ Barrett remains out for Toronto, while Immanuel Quickley is questionable after missing the last two games.
Depending on who plays and who sits, this game has the potential to be a great Sunday night closer, so let’s dive in and highlight the best player prop bets on the board with what we know headed into the evening.
Raptors vs. Lakers Best Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Brandon Ingram under 23.5 points (-103)
Even though this is a potential revenge game for Ingram, I think he’ll stay under this point total. The 28-year-old has played 41 games for the Raptors this season, averaging 21.8 points per game.
Ingram has been held under this prop line in four of his last five games, including his last game on Friday, when he had 19 points against the Clippers. Quickley didn’t play in that game, and if he returns, Ingram’s usage could be even lower in this matchup.
In Ingram’s career, he averages 23.8 points in 18 games against the Lakers, but in many of those games, he was the only option for the Pelicans. He had 20 points against the Lakers the only time he faced them with the Raptors and has been held under 23.5 points in five of his last seven head-to-head meetings with the Lakers.
This line feels high either way, but especially if Quickley makes his return.
Luka Doncic under 7.5 rebounds (-124)
My best guess is that Doncic returns and tries to get his team back on track. That doesn’t mean he’ll get his full workload, though, and he will likely get most of his production with points and assists if he’s limited at all.
Doncic is averaging 7.9 rebounds this season, but he has been held under this prop line in nine of his last 12 games. He had only three rebounds in the team’s loss to the Hornets earlier this week, even though he played 36 minutes.
Even when he’s been healthy lately, he hasn’t grabbed as many rebounds as other players in the rotation, so I’m comfortable taking this under even with so much uncertainty in the rest of the lineup.
Collin Murray-Boyles over 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-123)
Murray-Boyles is only averaging 12.7 points plus rebounds in 36 games this season. The rookie has played 21 minutes per game, but he’s been getting more work lately with Jakob Poeltl sidelined.
In six of his last seven games, Murray-Boyles has played 30+ minutes, and he has been over this prop line in five of those seven contests, averaging 11.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.
While the Lakers will have both Deandre Ayton and Jaxson Hayes available after they missed Saturday’s game, Murray-Boyles will be required to play big minutes and should be set up to go over this prop line again.
