The Spurs are hosting the Trail Blazers for Game 1 of the first round series between these clubs. On DraftKings Sportsbook, San Antonio is favored by 11.5 points and this game carries a total of 221.5 points.
Let’s dive into my favorite Victor Wembanyama player prop for Sunday’s contest.
Best Victor Wembanyama prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Victor Wembanyama O 12.5 Rebounds (-122)
Victor Wembanyama has been a beast on the glass. Since the All-Star break, the MVP candidate is averaging 12.2 rebounds on 18.3 rebound chances per game, both of which rank top-seven in the league.
Wembanyama finished with 13 rebounds vs. the Mavericks in his final start of the regular season and he has surpassed 12.5 rebounds in seven of his last eight. Wembanyama didn’t face the Trail Blazers in the regular season, but this is an appealing matchup for him to grab boards, as both San Antonio and Portland rank top-12 in pace this season.
Wembanyama averaged 29.2 minutes per game in the regular season, but he should approach 35 minutes on a nightly basis in the playoffs. He should start his first postseason with a bang Sunday and him exceeding 12.5 rebounds is a strong possibility.
