The final day of the 2024-25 NBA regular season is here. Playoff spots in both conferences are set, but teams will be competing for better seeding on Sunday, especially in the Western Conference where much is still undecided. The Warriors need to win against the Clippers to secure a top-six spot in the West. The Timberwolves also need a win when they host the Utah Jazz at 3:30 p.m. ET.
Sunday presents many opportunities for NBA player props, as teams may rest starters, giving role players a chance to shine. Which NBA player props offer the best value on sportsbooks like DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM?
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates each NBA game 10,000 times and has generated over $10,000 in profit for $100 bettors on top-rated NBA picks over the last six seasons. Stephen Oh, a Data Scientist behind the model, analyzed the simulations to identify player props with the best value for today`s games. NBA odds are subject to change, so act quickly for the best value.
Sam Hauser Over 14.5 points (-115)
The Celtics have secured the No. 2 seed in the East and will rest six of their top seven scorers against the Hornets on Sunday. This creates a significant opportunity for Hauser to play extended minutes as a starter. While he averages 8.4 points per game this season, only Payton Pritchard in the Boston lineup has scored more points this year. The model projects Hauser to score 23.1 points on average. FanDuel offers the best odds for this prop.
Kevin Huerter Over 2.5 rebounds (-178)
The Bulls will host the Heat in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament on Wednesday, so Chicago is expected to rest its starters. The 76ers, despite being locked into their draft lottery position, are also resting key players. This situation should lead to Huerter playing significant minutes against a weaker opponent. The model is confident in this prop, even with the higher juice.
Huerter has exceeded his rebound total in his last five games against defenses ranked in the bottom third of the NBA. The model predicts he will average 4.1 rebounds on Sunday. FanDuel again offers the best price.
Stephen Curry Under 35.5 points + rebounds + assists (-108)
Unlike the previous games, the Warriors have a lot at stake in the competitive West. They need a win to avoid the play-in tournament, and Curry is expected to play through a right thumb injury against the Clippers. However, Los Angeles is a tough opponent, ranking fourth in the NBA in points allowed (108.1 ppg) and third in defensive rating (110.2). This is a challenging matchup even for a healthy Curry.
The model predicts Curry will finish with 33 combined points, rebounds, and assists on average. FanDuel offers the best price at 35.5. DraftKings offers 36.5 with slightly higher odds (-125).
Nikola Jokic Under 50.5 points + rebounds + assists (-110)
The Nuggets could finish between the fourth and seventh seeds in the West, so Sunday`s game is important. The Rockets are also playing their starters despite securing the No. 2 seed. Jokic is averaging 29.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 10.3 assists this season, but he missed both games against the Rockets this season, and Houston is well-equipped to defend him.
Houston ranks sixth in points allowed per game (109.6), fourth in defensive rating (110.5), sixth in defensive rebounding percentage (76.2%), and first in offensive rebounding percentage (31.7%). The model predicts Jokic will have 45.4 combined points, rebounds, and assists on average. BetMGM offers the best odds for the Under.
Anthony Edwards Over 33.5 points + rebounds + assists (-125)
Edwards` 16th technical foul was rescinded by the NBA, so he will play against the Jazz on Sunday. This is crucial for Minnesota, as they could finish anywhere from the No. 4 to No. 8 seed in the West. The Jazz have nine players on the injury report and are tied for the worst record in the NBA, incentivizing them to lose for better lottery odds.
Edwards averages 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. While there`s a slight concern he might be rested in a blowout, the model projects 38.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists on Sunday. BetMGM has this prop at 33.5, and other books offer 34.5 and 35.5 if you prefer lower odds.
