Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs are four wins away from a championship. San Antonio are looking for their sixth NBA title, and the first one since 2014. Victor Wembanyama will have a big role to play in this series if the Spurs are going to get it done, and Game 1 is his first opportunity to make his impact.
The Spurs are 5.5-point favorites and -198 on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook for Game 1 in San Antonio. The Knicks are +164, with the game total set at 218.5 points.
Let’s dive into my favorite Victor Wembanyama player props for the Game 1 contest.
Best Victor Wembanyama prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Victor Wembanyama Under 27.5 Points (-119)
Wemby had an unbelievable series against the Thunder, but 28 points seems a bit too rich for me in this one. He’s gone under this total in four of his last six games. Over the course of this postseason, he’s averaging 23.2 points per game. There’s no doubt he will have a huge impact in this game, but I don’t think he will be able to have a monster scoring night. In the regular season, he averaged 25 points per game. In three regular season games against New York, he went under this total twice and averaged just under 25 PPG. Wemby will stuff the stat sheet in multiple categories, but 28 points seems like a reach.
Victor Wembanyama Over 1.5 Three Pointers (-170)
Wemby is red hot from three in the playoffs. In the regular season, he shot 34.9% from behind the arc, and in the postseason, he has bumped that up to 37%. The Frenchman has hit at least two threes in five of his last six games, attempting at least five treys in all of those games. So the volume is certainly there as of late. Wemby went over this total in two of his three regular season games against New York, attempting 15 deep balls between those contests. With Mitchell Robinson and Karl-Anthony Towns likely to stuff the paint, the long-range shooting ability of Wembanyama can definitely be a huge asset for the Spurs in this game if he starts to make a few.
