With Selection Sunday on full display in college basketball, let’s not forget about the NBA. Let’s dive into the best NBA player prop bet for the 7 game slate.
Aaron Gordon, PF, DAL, Over 13.5 points (-105)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Aaron Gordon will likely have the tough assignment on defense defending Luka Doncic. Thankfully for us, Gordon will get a soft matchup on offense. The Dallas Mavericks are allowing the 8th most points to the power forward position over the last two weeks and in the bottom half in points allowed in the paint in the previous 10 games.
Teammate Nikola Jokic commands so much attention in the paint when catching the ball, and Gordon roams the paint with the best of them. He’s scored at least 14 points in 36 of 60 games this season with Jokic active. With the starting five of the Nuggets fully active, that number slides to 24/42, including 18 and 21 points against the Mavericks this season.
