This Sunday, the NBA brings an exciting slate of seven games, featuring multiple opportunities for player prop betting. With the 2026-27 season just starting, it's crucial to focus on established players and their performance trends rather than just early stats. Our spotlight is on Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Anthony Edwards.
Top Player Props to Watch
Here are three key player props to consider as you tune into the NBA action today.
Utah Jazz vs. Dallas Mavericks
Luka Doncic Over 32.5 Points, -112 @ DraftKings
Luka Doncic has had a solid yet somewhat subdued start to the season, averaging 25.5 points in the first two games. He put up 28 points against the Warriors and followed with 23 against the Clippers. Despite these figures, Doncic’s total shot attempts show he is heavily engaged offensively, having taken 39 shots including 20 from three-point range.
His current shooting percentage of 38.5 is below his career average of 47.6, indicating room for improvement. The matchup against Utah looks promising; the Jazz struggled defensively last season and remain vulnerable early this year, currently ranked 21st in defensive rating. Doncic has a proven track record, leading the league in scoring last season with an average of 33.5 points per game. Expect a breakout performance today as he aims to surpass 32.5 points.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 38.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists, -110 @ FanDuel
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a varied performance in the Thunder's opening games. He started strong with 32 points, six rebounds, and four assists against the Spurs, but his next game saw a dip, managing just 17 points along with a few rebounds and assists.
His average of 32.0 points, rebounds, and assists combined is below the line set for today’s matchup, but a bounce-back is expected. The Clippers are playing at one of the faster paces in the league, which translates into more opportunities for Gilgeous-Alexander. Last season, he averaged a remarkable 42.0 P+R+A per game, reaching at least 38.5 in two of his last three encounters with the Clippers. He’s set for a rebound performance.
Toronto Raptors vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Anthony Edwards Over 3.5 Three-Pointers Made, +110 @ BetMGM
An impressive aspect of Anthony Edwards' start to this season has been his proficiency from beyond the arc. In the opening games, he has attempted 26 three-pointers, making 11, which gives him an average of 5.5 three-pointers per game. He began the season with a stellar showing, hitting 9 of 17 attempts against the Heat.
While he stumbled in the next game against the Magic with a 2-for-9 performance from three-point land, Edwards has shown significant growth in his shooting accuracy from deep over the past two years, with percentages of nearly 40% in both the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons. Last year, he averaged 3.4 makes from beyond the arc throughout the season, and he achieved at least four made threes in 29 games across both the regular season and playoffs.
With Toronto allowing a substantial number of three-point attempts last season, Edwards' volume makes this player prop enticing. His ability to shoot at such a high volume bodes well for hitting the over on 3.5 three-pointers today.
As you set your fantasy basketball rosters or explore betting options, consider these players' props to help make informed decisions this Sunday.
