Best NBA Player Props: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Dallas Mavericks (1:00 PM EST)

Kyrie Irving Points Over 26.5 (-105) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Kyrie Irving has been brilliant for the Dallas Mavericks since the All-Star break ended, and he’ll try to maintain his form on Sunday afternoon. Facing a shorthanded Sixers team lacking Joel Embiid, Irving projects to stay in his excellent form.

In 38 games this season, Irving has averaged 25.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists on 49.1% shooting and 41.8% from three. In his last game, a loss to the Celtics, Irving put up 19 points on 39.1% shooting from the field – his first match scoring fewer than 29 since the All-Star break.

Irving is a -105 to score over 26.5 points when he faces the Sixers on Sunday. He’s cleared 26.5 points in four of his last five games and in 17 appearances this season. After a relatively poor performance in his previous match, expect Irving to bounce back against the struggling Sixers.

Best NBA Player Props: LA Clippers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (3:30 PM EST)

Paul George Threes Under 2.5 (+100) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Paul George has had an excellent season for the LA Clippers, as he’s led his team to one of the top spots in the Western Conference. On Sunday, George faces a Timberwolves team that has troubled him all season.

Through 53 games, George averaged 22.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.2 threes per game on 45.7% from the field and 39.4% from three. In his last game, a win over the Wizards, George put up 22 points, six rebounds, and two made threes.

George is a +100 to hit under 2.5 threes when he faces the Timberwolves on Sunday night. He’s scored two or fewer threes in four of his last five games and in 19 total appearances this season. Facing a Minnesota team that has held him to 28.5% shooting through two meetings this season, George projects to struggle in this matchup.

Best NBA Player Props: Charlotte Hornets vs. Toronto Raptors (6:00 PM EST)

RJ Barrett Threes Over 1.5 (+114) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett was the least talked about figure when he was part of a three-player deal to send him to his current team. However, since joining his hometown club, Barrett has leaped his play and will see even more excellent opportunities with Scottie Barnes out with injury.

Since joining the Toronto Raptors, Barrett has averaged 20.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.6 threes per game on 55.2% from the field and 40.9% from three-point range. In his last match, a loss to the Golden State Warriors, Barrett put up 23 points, four assists, and two threes on 60.0% from the field and 50.0% from beyond the arc.

When Barrett faces the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, Barrett is a +114 to hit over 1.5 threes. He’s hit two or more threes in four of his last five games and in eight total games as a Raptor. With Barnes out long-term due to injury, Barrett’s increased offensive role will give him more opportunities from deep.

What is an NBA Player Prop?

In NBA betting, a Player Prop directs attention to the individual performance of players rather than the overall game result. This entails placing bets on specific player actions, such as points scored or rebounds, with bookmakers establishing benchmarks. 

For example, consider a bet during the Indiana Pacers versus San Antonio Spurs game. When Victor Wembanyama takes the court, a prop bet will speculate on whether they’ll hit over or under 4.5 blocks during the game. These types of wagers add a new level of excitement to the game, allowing bettors to focus on particular players’ performance within the broader context of the game.
