There are eight games on the NBA schedule for Sunday with the first two games starting at 3:30 p.m. EDT. Our best player prop bet of the day comes from that early game with Denver at Brooklyn.
We improved to 36-35 for the season Thursday as DeMar DeRozan had well over 32.5 combined points/rebounds/assists against the Timberwolves. The Bulls small forward had a monster game with 49 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists in a 139-131 double-overtime win against Minnesota.
