Don’t forget about the NBA on Sunday! Bettors have an 8-game slate with tons of value. Let’s dive into our top NBA player prop bets for the games on Sunday, November 26. Be sure to also read our NBA predictions for each of tonight’s matchups.

RJ Barrett (NYK) Over 17.5 points (-125)

Line available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.

What we saw from RJ Barrett in his last game was highly encouraging. After missing multiple games with a migraine, Barrett finally returned to his high-scoring self, which was on full display early in the season. Against the Miami Heat on Friday, Barrett shot 7 of 14 from the field, scored 18 points and returned to playing his usual 30+ minutes.

The matchup against the Phoenix Suns is one that Barrett can take advantage of, especially as the third option. A tough draw for small forwards, Barrett should still see plenty of volume, as he’s averaging over 15 field-goal attempts per game. The numbers are through the roof in the games he has played 30+ minutes in. He has surpassed this line in 5 of 7 games while averaging 23 points.

Jayson Tatum (BOS) Under 9.5 rebounds (-110)

Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.

I wrote about this player prop last week and we’re going right back to it. Jayson Tatum has reeled in over 75% of his rebound chances — a number that isn’t sustainable. He plays in a starting lineup that features Jrue Holiday, who is averaging more rebounding chances per game than Tatum and you can also include Jaylen Brown, who is averaging 10 rebound chances per game, and Tatum would have to get extremely lucky to surpass this line.

The Atlanta Hawks will match up against the Celtics after winning the first leg of a back-to-back. We’ll see how competitive this game can stay with the Celtics coming in at 7.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel. With Tatum staying under this line in 9 of 16 games this season and 6 of his last 8, I’ll gladly back Tatum to not secure 10 boards.
