Saturday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Luka Doncic Over 34.5 Points (-125)
Are we ever going to see a consistent Mavericks team? They’ve had moments all season where they’ve looked like the contender they should be, and then they immediately begin to flop. They’ve struggled recently, going 2-5, but those five losses are against potential playoff teams. Tonight, they face Detroit, who definitely isn’t. Regardless of how they play, Doncic has been on fire, averaging 35.2 points over his last 12, and although this is a high total, the Pistons are allowing the second-most points to guards.
Jonathan Kuminga Over 21.5 Points (-125)
The Warriors are rising back into contention in the Western Conference, and they are an impressive 14-5 in their last 19. They will unfortunately be without Steph Curry for this game as he is dealing with an ankle injury. Luckily, it is against the Spurs, who have the worst record in the West. It’s been great to watch Jonathan Kuminga step up since moving into the starting lineup; over his 20 games as a starter, he’s averaging 18.5 points and shooting 52.7% from the floor. Without Curry, he’ll need to be someone who steps up.
Kevin Durant Under 27.5 Points (-105)
The Celtics road trip has not been going well, as they’ve dropped the first two games. They have another tough matchup as they take on the Suns. Phoenix is only 4-4 recently, but they have picked up back-to-back wins without Devin Booker. They hope he returns for this game, but the better focus is on Durant. The Celtics are still one of the toughest defenses in the league, and over their last 13 games, they have the third-best defensive rating. Durant has struggled against Boston dating back to his days in Brooklyn, and especially if Booker plays, we won’t see much production from him in this game.
