This article provides three NBA player prop bets and one total for Sunday's games, focusing on Orlando Magic vs. Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics matchups.
Sunday\u2019s NBA action features a potential NBA Finals matchup, as the Boston Celtics take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Boston is hoping to get Jaylen Brown (questionable) back for this matchup, but with such a close spread, it\u2019s not one of the sides that I\u2019m targeting in today\u2019s NBA Best Bets. Instead, I\u2019m looking at a trio of player props and one total for Sunday\u2019s action, with one of those props coming in the Boston-OKC matchup.
Plus, there is a prop that I have for Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves that could surprise some bettors.Isaiah Hartenstein OVER 11.5 Rebounds (+105) – 0.5 unitOrlando Magic-Utah Jazz UNDER 212 (-110) – 0.5 unitOrlando is down its three best offensive players in Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, and Jalen Suggs in this matchup, and it\u2019s failed to play a game over 212 combined points in six straight games and eight of its last 10. Not only that, but the Jazz are playing the second night of a back-to-back and are 4-0 to the UNDER in that spot this season. Orlando clocks in at No. 3 in the NBA in defensive rating this season, but it is just 26th in offense – and likely will be worse without Banchero, Suggs, and Wagner. Meanwhile, the Jazz are 19th in offensive rating in the 2024-25 campaign. Utah is the worst defensive team in the league, but I\u2019m not sold on the Magic taking advantage of that with all of the injuries they\u2019re dealing with.As I mentioned, Orlando is down its top three scores in this matchup, and Anthony Black is listed as questionable. So, rookie Tristan da Silva should be in line for a huge workload against the No. 30 defense in the NBA. In his last game, da Silva had a career-high 25 points after Suggs exited with a back injury. He\u2019s scored 15 or more points in six of his last nine games, including 18 or more in four of his last six. With an expanded role coming on Sunday, da Silva is a must-bet at his number.Oklahoma City big man Isaiah Hartenstein is averaging 1
