We are wrapping up the NBA week with an awesome 9-game schedule on Sunday. It includes 2 nationally televised doubleheaders, 1 on ABC and the other on ESPN. Among the teams taking the court throughout the afternoon and evening are Phoenix, Milwaukee, the Lakers, Dallas, Cleveland, Golden State and Denver.
Needless to say, there are a smorgasbord of opportunities to identify player props that have great value. One of the premier sportsbooks that has some of the best odds available for prop bets is Caesars Sportsbook, and ahead of today’s slate I will break down the best props to target.
You can bet on these NBA props at Caesars, which has a great sign-up offer where you can get up to $1,250 back on your first bet! Click here to sign up for Caesars now.
Darius Garland, CLE, Over 21.5 points (-120)
Darius Garland is hot at the moment and a matchup with the Raptors should allow him to continue filling up the stat sheet. Toronto defends the interior pretty well and has limited Evan Mobley to 14.0 ppg in 3 games plus Jarrett Allen to 12.0 ppg in 2 contests. It should also be noted that Raptors guard Fred VanVleet is questionable following the birth of his third child this weekend, so they could be missing a solid perimeter defender.
Either way, Garland should go off. He has scored 27, 22 and 33 points over the past 3 games. The former Vanderbilt standout is averaging 24.3 ppg at home this season compared to 19.7 ppg on the road. Meanwhile, fellow guard Donovan Mitchell cannot throw it in the ocean right now. Mitchell is 15-for-39 in the last 2 outings, including 4-for-17 from 3-point range. Count on Garland once again picking up the slack for his teammates and pouring in a boatload of points.

Luguentz Dort, OKC, Over 1.5 three-pointers made (-150)
Facing the Kings should be just what the doctor ordered for Lu Dort to get back on track from the land of plenty. Sacramento is 2nd-to-last in the NBA over the last 3 games in opponent 3-pointers made per game (16.7). It is also 2nd-to-last in opponent 3-point percentage both in the last 3 games and for the entire season.
Dort is 2 for his last 20 from 3-point range, but prior to this stretch he was 6-for-9 against Atlanta and Portland. In his previous matchup with the Kings this season, the Arizona State product dialed long distance 5 times and connected on 3 of those attempts. Perhaps most important is the fact that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is sidelined for Oklahoma City. Dort is going to get a lot of work, so he should have no trouble sinking multiple 3-pointers.
