Best NBA Sunday Props

  • Darius Garland Over 20.5 Points
  • Onyeka Okongwu Over 20.5 Points + Rebounds
  • Isaiah Hartenstein Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds

Darius Garland (Clippers vs. Hornets) Over Points

As expected coming into the season, Garland has been the Clippers’ most reliable source of scoring with Brandon Ingram (Achilles) still sidelined. The veteran guard is averaging 20.7 points – his highest figure since the 2022-23 season – while taking a combined 20.0 field-goal + free-throw attempts per contest. Garland already has six games of 24 points or more in 11 contests overall, underscoring how aggressive he’s been.

The Hornets come into Sunday’s matchup allowing the fifth-highest offensive efficiency rating to point guards (29.5), along with 47.1% shooting, including 41.9% from three-point range. Charlotte is also yielding an Eastern Conference-high 17.0 made three-pointers overall in the last three contests, and Garland is 3-1 to the Over on the 20.5 in the last four games while draining 42.3% of his 6.5 three-point tries in that span.

Onyeka Okongwu (Hawks vs. Bucks) Over Points + Rebounds 

Every Hawks starter essentially has a bright outlook Sunday given the opponent, as the Bucks are arguably the worst all-around team in the league. However, while Jalen Johnson’s props are understandably very elevated for this matchup, Okongwu has what could be termed a reasonable points + rebounds figure based on his recent body of work. The big man checks into Sunday averaging 26.0 points + rebounds across 31.6 minutes per contest over his last eight, a span where he’s connected on 52.6% of his attempts, including 38.1% from distance.

The opposing Bucks have been very generous to centers, allowing the sixth-highest offensive efficiency rating to centers (35.7) as well as the fifth-most points (23.4) and the third-most rebounds (16.6) per contest to the position. Milwaukee is also ceding 53.7% shooting to fives, as well as the fifth-most points in the paint per home game (52.6); meanwhile, Okongwu is scoring 54.1% of his points in that part of the floor.

Isaiah Hartenstein (Thunder vs. Kings) Over Points + Rebounds 

Hartenstein is delivering his usual contributions early this season, as the big man averaging a well-balanced 9.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals across 25.4 minutes over 13 games. With OKC managing multiple key injuries, Hartenstein has seen a boost in offensive involvement over last season, as he’s putting up 7.2 field-goal attempts per contest after clocking 6.3 in 2025-26 and is averaging 23.4 points + rebounds per 36 minutes with all of the sidelined Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, Chet Holmgren and Jaylin Williams off the floor.

Hartenstein has been especially impressive in the last two games, where he’s put up 20-point, 11-rebound and 21-point, 16-rebound double-doubles while shooting a blistering 79.2% of his attempts. He now gets a crack at perhaps the most generous frontcourt in the league, as the Kings are allowing the third-highest offensive efficiency rating (36.5) and the second-most points per game (25.1) to centers. Sacramento is also surrendering the third-highest shooting percentage (59.5) to fives, and while the Kings are also giving up the seventh-most points in the paint per game (50.5), Hartenstein is generating 82.1% of his points in that part of the floor.
