Top NBA Player Prop Bets for Sunday's Games
Looking for the best NBA player prop bets for Sunday's games? You're in luck! Join me, Emily Johnson, a passionate and creative sports writer, as I dive into the top player prop bets for the upcoming matchups. From RJ Barrett's scoring potential to Jayson Tatum's rebounding challenges, we'll explore the intriguing opportunities that await. Let's get started!
RJ Barrett: Over 17.5 Points
Analyzing RJ Barrett's scoring potential against the Phoenix Suns
RJ Barrett's recent performance has been highly encouraging, especially after returning from a migraine. Against the Miami Heat, he showcased his high-scoring abilities, shooting 7/14 from the field and scoring 18 points. With the Phoenix Suns as the next opponent, Barrett has a favorable matchup as the third option.
Despite the challenge of facing tough Small Forwards, Barrett's volume of field goal attempts remains high, averaging over 15 per game. Notably, in games where he has played 30+ minutes, Barrett has surpassed the 17.5 points line in five out of seven games, averaging 23 points.
Jayson Tatum: Under 9.5 Rebounds
Examining Jayson Tatum's rebounding challenges against the Atlanta Hawks
Jayson Tatum's rebounding performance has been inconsistent, and it's unlikely he will surpass the 9.5 rebounds line. Despite playing alongside players like Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, who have higher rebounding chances, Tatum has struggled to secure rebounds.
In the upcoming game against the Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics are favored by 7.5 points, indicating a potentially less competitive matchup. Tatum has stayed under this rebounding line in nine out of 16 games this season and six out of his last eight. Based on his recent performance, it's reasonable to expect Tatum to fall short of 10 rebounds.
