Best NBA player prop bet: Brandon Ingram (TOR) Over 8.5 rebounds + assists (-136)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
To my surprise, this Raptors team is a joy to watch and can create chaos in the Eastern Conference come April. They sit in the 4th seed, but have dropped their last 3 games with RJ Barrett on the shelf with a right knee sprain. In the meantime, it’s been the Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes show. In the 8 games that Brandon Ingram has played without Barrett, he’s topped at least 8 rebounds+assists in 5 games, including 3 of his last 4. The assist opportunities trail Barnes and Immanuel Quickley during that span, to no surprise, but the 35-38 minutes ceiling has helped Ingram stuff the stat sheet, and I expect him to go over this number in this matchup.
