A stocked Sunday schedule features a dozen NBA games. With all but six teams in action Sunday, the focus becomes how to identify the strongest plays for both fantasy rosters and wagers amid a huge pool of players and games.
Leveraging betting intel as a helpful benchmark for offensive potential in a given game, we find two matchups from Sunday's slate with point totals north of 240 points. The surging Memphis Grizzlies visit the suddenly-frisky Washington Wizards in a contest with the day's highest total. With so much offense projected in a game that includes Washington's league-worst defensive rating, loading up on each roster via both streaming and prop bets could prove rewarding.
In terms of schedule details, games begin at 1:00 PM ET with the Chicago Bulls hosting the Philadelphia 76ers in what looks like Joel Embiid's potential return to action. The day finishes in California with the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the Portland Trail Blazers in a needed spot as a heavy home favorite.
Let's take a closer look at the players and matchups for tonight's game and find some angles of interest.
Sunday's Stream Team
Malik Monk, SG/SF, Sacramento Kings (Rostered in 60.8% of ESPN leagues)
Monk has been producing like a star point guard over the past week. He is a uniquely versatile offensive talent that can switch from bucket to playmaker on any given possession. Over the past two weeks, Monk ranks 22nd overall on the Player Rater facing a Utah Jazz defense sits 27th in efficiency.
Herbert Jones, SF/PF, New Orleans Pelicans (21.1%)
While Trey Murphy III is an awesome two-way wing, there might be even more fantasy value present with Jones and his absurd defensive skill set. He has averaged three combined steals and blocks over the past week and with an efficient 24 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday night, Jones is proving capable of helping your fantasy roster(s). Sunday's matchup proves friendly given a total hovering around 225 points against a San Antonio Spurs team that can prove inconsistent at the wing.
Grayson Allen, SG/PG, Phoenix Suns (40.6%)
The Suns are without Kevin Durant, vaulting Allen into an even more important scoring and spacing role from the perimeter. We've also seen more creation duties for Allen in recent games, with 17 assists across his past three as evidence. The Magic, meanwhile, are dealing with a depleted roster, as well.
Vasilije Micic, PG/SG, Charlotte Hornets (4.7%)
With LaMelo Ball sidelined, the Hornets' offense has been orchestrated by Micic. He was a strong source of assists for the Hornets last year when Ball was absent from the floor. If you need passing production in a category format, Micic is in a friendly spot against a porous Indiana Pacers backcourt.
Best bets for Sunday
Odds by ESPN BET
Cleveland Cavaliers-Miami Heat under 223.5 points
While the Cavs have an awesome offense, this game could prove lower-scoring relative to their recent games. The Heat are 27th in pace, with a deliberate plan to slow down the game to a grind that matches their style on both sides of the floor. While Cleveland can certainly overcome a strong opponent, the back-to-back context of this matchup could lead to a lower tally.
Philadelphia 76ers (-1.5) over Chicago Bulls (-110)
The shift in odds from the Bulls being favored to Philly giving points speaks to the expectation for Embiid to play. While the big man has been slow to get to form this year, his presence on defense and gravity on offense should serve to open the floor for an offense badly in need of improvement. The competence the 76ers have flashed in recent games could prove to be a real trend in Chicago.
Julius Randle over 19.5 points (-115)
Randle has struggled lately, surpassing this scoring threshold just once in the past week. This said, the Warriors invite offense from opposing forwards; allowing a high amount of scoring and 3-pointers to opponents. We can expect enough scoring opportunities to land with Randle in this road contest.
James Harden over 7.5 assists (-130)
While the price for this prop is a bit high, the bar for passing production from Harden is quite reasonable. The Clippers continue to run their offense through Harden, leading to one of the highest potential assist rates in the NBA this season, a trend that should continue against his former team.
