Top NBA player prop picks for Thunder vs. Spurs
- Victor Wembanyama, Spurs, Over 17.5 rebounds + assists
- Chet Holmgren, Thunder, Under 13.5 points
- Julian Champagnie, Spurs, Over 10.5 points
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs, Over 17.5 rebounds + assists
“Victor Wembanyama averaged 29 minutes per game during the regular season,” SportsLine NBA expert Mike Barner pointed out. “Over his last 10 playoff games, he has averaged 33 minutes. That allowed him to grab at least 15 rebounds six times during that span. He posted 27 combined rebounds and assists with Game 1 against the Thunder going to double overtime. In Game 2, he had 23 combined over 37 minutes. With the home crowd behind him and the Spurs trying to go up 2-1 in the series, I think Wembanyama plays around 35 minutes and has enough opportunities to hit this over.”
Chet Holmgren, Thunder, Under 13.5 points
“Chet Holmgren is averaging just 10.5 points per game in six games vs. the Spurs this season, going over 14.5 just once,” SportsLine expert David Bearman said. “He got to 13 in Game 2, with 7 of the points coming in one spurt with Victor Wembanyama on the bench. Holmgren has not attempted more than 10 shots in any game vs. the Spurs this season and is shooting 39.6% from the field, way below his 55.7% season average. In 11 career games vs. Wemby and the Spurs, Holmgren is averaging 12.7 PPG.”
Julian Champagnie, Spurs, Over 10.5 points
“Julian Champagnie was atrocious in Game 2, going 1 of 7 from deep and finishing with eight points,” SportsLine expert Larry Hartstein said. “However, he is still shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc this postseason. With Dylan Harper and De’Aaron Fox dealing with injuries. I like Champagnie to get plenty of scoring opportunities. He was a much better shooter at home during the regular season (46.2 percent overall compared to 41.8 percent on the road).”
