Sunday presents a 10-game slate, and below are three of my favorite NBA player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Sunday’s slate.
Top NBA player prop bets
Derrick White U 2.5 Made Three-Pointers (-105)
While this is a friendly matchup vs. the Bucks, who rank 24th in defensive rating and are allowing the seventh-highest three-point percentage this season (36.7%), White has been ice cold from deep lately and him hitting 3+ treys feels unlikely. In White’s last 10, he is averaging just 1.6 made three-pointers on 6.4 attempts per game and he has stayed under 2.5 made three-pointers in eight of these 10 games.
White is shooting just 25% from beyond the arc during this span and he has started to be tentative from deep, with five or less three-point attempts in each of his last three. Jaylen Brown (hamstring/knee) will be back today after sitting out Friday’s win over the Kings, meaning less usage for White and the guard could also see less minutes than usual if the Celtics run away with an easy win. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Boston is a 12.5-point favorite over Milwaukee.
Collin Murray-Boyles O 20.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-123)
Coming to town tonight is the defensively inept Jazz, who rank dead last in defensive rating this season and Murray-Boyles should stuff the stat sheet in this elite matchup. The Raptors’ 123.5-point implied team total on DraftKings Sportsbook is the highest of the 20 NBA teams in action Sunday and Jakob Poeltl (back) remains sidelined for Toronto.
With the center out, Murray-Boyles has started in each of his last 11 games and the rookie is averaging 10.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game with the starting role. Murray-Boyles is shooting 58% from the field over this time and he has cleared 20.5 PRA in seven of these 11 starts.
Nikola Jokic O 7.5 Assists (-147)
Jokic (knee) made his return from a 16-game absence Friday vs. the Clippers and posted 31 points, 12 rebounds and five assists across 24 minutes in the 122-109 win for Denver. Jokic should see more work Sunday, likely in the 25-30 minute range and while he only finished with five assists in his return, this was more on his teammates than him, as Jokic had 14 potential assists in the victory.
The three-time MVP is leading the Nuggets with 10.8 assists on 17.8 potential assists per game this season. Jokic’s 54.3% assist rate is a career-high and he is a stellar bet to surpass 7.5 assists in this marquee matchup vs. the Thunder, who have been vulnerable recently, dropping three of their last four.
