NBA Sunday answers a Saturday 4-game slate with one of their own. Similar to Friday Night, there’s plenty of injury questions that could dictate the slate. Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant, Austin Reaves, and Victor Wembanyama are either listed as doubtful or questionable – All players that can flip a slate. Let’s dive into my best NBA player prop bets for Sunday, April 26, while you can also find out our expert NBA picks for today’s matchups and every game throughout the postseason.

Best NBA player prop bet: Jarrett Allen (CLE) Under 20.5 points + rebounds (-116)

The Raptors answered with a punch in Game 3, securing a dominant win and their first of the series. RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes had arguably the best games of their postseason careers, while Brandon Ingram continues to struggle with Dean Wade being draped all over him. The angle we’re taking in Game 4 is fading Jarrett Allen, whose minutes were cut in half as the Raptors went small to close the game. Allen played just a 5-minute stint in the 4th quarter and was a -16, as the Raptors went with Barrett/Barnes/Ingram/Murray-Boyles/Battle – A lineup that they could feature more in Game 4 to spread the floor out, limiting Allen’s production.
Best NBA player prop bet: Shaedon Sharpe (POR) Under 11.5 points + rebounds (-122)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
Shaedon Sharpe is still trying to carve a role in the Trail Blazers playoff rotation. He’s registered 12 and 13 minutes in Games 2 and 3, with Jermai Grant seeing most of the bench minutes. The Blazers are primarily going with a 7-man rotation, with Grant and Robert Williams as the guys off the bench. Shapre is getting two rotations: One to start the 2nd and one to start the 4th, but has not been productive. He’s taken back-seats to Jrue Holiday, Deni Avdija, and even Scoot Henderson, which is limiting his shot-output. In a must-have game, I don’t expect Sharpe to see 15 minutes, let alone in the closing lineup.
