The NBA continues Sunday with a seven-game slate, with the first match tipping off at 3:30 pm ET.
Below are today’s five available prop bets with the highest hit rates across their last ten games played:
- Devin Booker 4.5 Assists- Over 80%
- Kevin Durant 6.5 Assists - Over 80%
- Jayson Tatum 29.5 Points - Over 70%
- Donovan Mitchell 3.5 Threes - Over 70%
- Kyrie Irving 26.5 Points - Over 70%
With that said, let’s jump into my favorite NBA prop bets for Sunday’s slate. All odds and player statuses are reflective at the time of writing.
Best Bet #1 - Devin Booker Over 32.5 Points + Assists (-120 Draftkings)
We are not going to overthink this one. Booker’s exceeded this prop value in eight of his last ten matches, averaging 37.4 points + assists during that stretch.
There’s been a push in the media for Booker to be in the MVP conversation as of late and for a good reason. Since the All-Star break, he is averaging 29.9 points, 7.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds on the best team in the league.
Moreover, the 25-year-old always seems to take his game to a new level in the final week of March:
Good luck guarding DEVIN BOOKER between March 24th-30th🔥

The Phoneix Suns will host the Philadephia 76ers tonight, a team Booker always gets up to play. The three-time All-Star has faced the Sixers 13 times in his career. In those 13 matches, Booker has averaged 29.3 points (his highest scoring average against any team) and 4.6 assists.

Best Bet #2 - Anthony Edwards Over 2.5 Threes (-145 BetMGM)
This is good value for a player of Anthony Edwards’ quality. Edwards has improved his 3-point shooting percentage this season (35.4%) and shots them with a high volume, which is the key factor you are looking for when it comes to 3-point props.
The 2020 first overall draft pick is converting three shots from behind the arc per game on 8.4 attempts. Plus, since the All-Star break, his 3-point shooting frequency has increased by 1.5%.

— Minnesota Timberwolves (@Timberwolves) March 24, 2022
The Minnesota Timberwolves will be up against the Boston Celtics tonight. While the Celtics are currently the hottest team in the league and have it clicking on both sides of the ball, they have allowed shooting guards to convert an average of 3.35 3-pointers in their last seven games.
Anthony Edwards has reached this prop value in 34 of his 65 games this season (52.3%) and six of his last ten. Our NBC projection model predicts the Georgia product will knock down 3.6 treys cashing this prop.
