We have reached the month of December and the action in the NBA is starting to heat up. Playoff races are starting to get more fun to follow and some of the top players in the league are starting to get into a groove.
Betting on NBA player props is always a great option, especially when focusing on some of the best players in the league. For the games taking place on Sunday, here are the five best NBA player prop betting options.
Kyrie Irving Over 24.5 Points (-115)
The Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets are meeting up on Sunday for a huge battle in the Eastern Conference. This has turned into a great rivalry, even though the Celtics have become a much better overall team.
Kyrie Irving is a former Boston star and he will be looking to find a way to have a big game against his former team. Bet on the guard to score at least 25 points to keep his team in this game.
Ja Morant Over 8.5 Assists (+100)
Ja Morant is on his way to winning an MVP Award at some point and it could happen as soon as this season. Not only can Morant score the basketball, but he has also done a great job of setting up his teammates.
It’s always a good idea to look at the player prop betting odds for Morant, as he usually delivers. On Sunday, taking Morant to record over 8.5 assists is the best bet to make.
DeMar DeRozan Under 27.5 Points (-110)
The Chicago Bulls are in Sacramento for a match-up with the Kings and the road trip hasn’t been kind to Chicago. This team just hasn’t lived up to preseason expectations and they are starting to run out of time to get that done.
DeMar DeRozan is having another solid season, but the Kings have enough wing defenders to throw at him and slow him down. Look for DeRozan to score less than 27.5 points as the Bulls struggle in this game.
Kyle Kuzma Over 2.5 Threes (+105)
The Washington Wizards are hosting the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night and this should be a competitive game. Both of these teams are trying to get things on track and go on a big run. That’s why you will see a great battle.
Kyle Kuzma is a former Laker that is having a big year for the Wizards. Look for Kuzma to play some inspired basketball in this game, as he will make at least three three-point shots.
Donovan Mitchell Under 27.5 Points (-120)
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been a massive surprise this season and Donovan Mitchell is a big reason for the success. Mitchell is putting up huge offensive numbers and he always seems to come up with a big basket.
The New York Knicks will host the Cavaliers on Sunday and they will be doing all that they can to stop the former Jazz star. Look for Cleveland to have more balanced scoring in this game, as Mitchell will score under 27.5 points in this one.
