12-11 (+.13 Units)
Here’s what our editors’ are eyeing for tonight’s slate with all odds via WynnBET:
Luka Doncic OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-125)
Luka Doncic is averaging nine rebounds per game this season, and now he's set to play one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA. The Sacramento Kings rank 26th in the NBA in rebounding percentage at 47.4%, so Doncic should have no issue grabbing boards in this game.
As an added bonus, he's faced the Kings 10 times in his career and he's averaging 8.7 rebounds against them. As long as you're okay laying the -125 juice, this is by far my favorite NBA player prop of the night. -- Iain McMillian
Damian Lillard OVER 27.5 Points (+100)
WynnBET Sportsbook has the total set for the Portland Trail Blazers vs. Charlotte Hornets set at 230, the highest total on Sunday’s slate.
I’d expect there to be plenty of points in this one, and Lillard will lead the way for the Blazers. Charlotte has allowed 115.7 points per game this season, 27th in the NBA. The Hornets have been allowing many points to point guards as well, allowing Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat to score 26 points, Cole Anthony of the Orlando Magic to score 24 points, and Dennis Schroder of the Boston Celtics to score 23 points in the last three games.
Lillard is better than all of those guards. I think Lillard will collect more than 30 points tonight, and his prop of over 27.5 has great value at +100. -- Thomas Snodgrass
Donovan Mitchell OVER 25.5 Points (-110)
The Jazz are on the second half of a back-to-back, but think we see a strong outing from Mitchell after he shot horribly in a loss to Chicago, shooting 33% from the field and missing nine of his 11 three-point attempts.
He will be facing the defending champions Milwaukee Bucks, but they will be without star guard Jrue Holiday, putting Mitchell in a favorable matchup against George Hill.
Mitchell's shooting splits are down across the board this year, shooting 37% from the field and 28% from deep, but I like him to get over this total against a banged up Bucks squad. -- Reed Wallach
