Tyrese Maxey OVER 29.5 Points (-117)

Tyrese Maxey is disconnected to a red-hot commencement successful nan 2025-26 season, averaging 35.2 points per crippled successful his first 5 games while shooting 46.2 percent from nan section and 46.8 percent from beyond nan arc.

Maxey should beryllium successful statement for a immense workload connected Sunday against nan Brooklyn Nets, arsenic nan Philadelphia 76ers person ruled retired Joel Embiid, Paul George and Jared McCain for this matchup. Without Embiid earlier this season, Maxey dropped 43 points successful a 12-point triumph complete nan Orlando Magic.

The prima defender has 30 aliases much points successful 3 of his 5 games (39 aliases much successful each of those), and he’s scored astatine slightest 26 points successful each crippled this season.

After taking conscionable 16 shots against Boston connected Friday night, I expect Maxey to bounce backmost against a Brooklyn Nets defense that ranks dormant past successful nan NBA successful protect standing and force 3-point percent while clocking successful astatine No. 29 successful force points per game.

Chicago Bulls +7.5 (-126) vs. New York Knicks

The Chicago Bulls are undefeated this play some consecutive up and against nan dispersed heading into their 2nd crippled successful a statement against nan New York Knicks.

New York is group arsenic a sizable favourite astatine location (where it is 2-0 this season), but it has mislaid 3 games successful a statement to Miami, Milwaukee and Chicago. 

The Knicks person yet to find their hit connected offense, ranking 19th successful nan convention successful violative standing and 18th successful nett standing truthful acold this season. Meanwhile, nan Bulls are 5th successful violative rating, sixth successful protect standing and sixth successful nett standing successful nan 2025-26 season. 

Chicago still is without defender Coby White, but I deliberation this is simply a fewer excessively galore points to springiness nan Knicks, who person not played good truthful acold this season. New York is conscionable 27th successful nan NBA successful effective section extremity percentage, and it’s played conscionable 1 crippled pinch a afloat patient lineup, losing to nan Bulls connected Friday night.

To make matters worse, Mitchell Robinson is backmost connected nan wounded study arsenic questionable for Sunday’s game.

I’m not bold capable to return Chicago to propulsion disconnected nan upset, but nan Bulls are amended (so far) this play than these likelihood are giving them in installments for. I’ll return them to screen nan dispersed connected nan road. 

Jalen Brunson OVER 27.5 Points (-103)

Sticking pinch nan Chicago-New York matchup, I do person a subordinate prop that I for illustration for Jalen Brunson.

After scoring 23 points successful nan Knicks’ season-opening triumph complete Cleveland and shooting conscionable 5-for-18 from nan field, Brunson has been connected occurrence since.

He’s shooting 52.1 percent from nan section and 38.7 percent from 3 complete his past 4 games, scoring 31, 37, 36 and 29 points. He dropped 29 connected 12-of-25 shooting against Chicago connected Friday, nan 3rd crippled successful a statement he’s taken astatine slightest 25 shots.

The Knicks aren’t getting overmuch from Karl-Anthony Towns correct now, which intends Brunson is going to person to transportation this discourtesy if it wants to win. New York is heavy favored successful this game, but Brunson apt would person to move successful a large scoring capacity for nan Knicks to cover.

Based connected nan measurement – Brunson is averaging 22.8 section extremity attempts and 80 free-throw attempts per crippled – for nan Knicks, he’s a must stake astatine this number connected Sunday night. 

San Antonio Spurs-Toronto Raptors Moneyline Parlay (+113)

San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs person yet to suffer this season, and they are favored connected nan roadworthy against nan Phoenix Suns connected Sunday.

The Suns are disconnected to conscionable a 2-4 commencement (although they are 2-1 astatine home), and they rank conscionable 25th successful nan convention successful nett rating. I’m not taking overmuch distant from Phoenix’s wins, arsenic it hit nan Utah Jazz connected Friday and knocked disconnected nan Sacramento Kings earlier this season.

San Antonio, connected nan different hand, has nan champion nett standing successful nan NBA (+13.3), and is 3-0-2 against nan spread. The Spurs are 1 of my favourite dispersed bets of nan night, but I’m going to return them simply connected nan moneyline successful this parlay.

The Suns are conscionable 26th successful nan convention successful violative standing this season, while San Antonio has nan No. 2 defense – anchored by Victor Wembanyama. I expect nan Spurs to rotation and move to 6-0 successful nan 2025-26 season. 

Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors made a connection connected Friday nighttime aft 4 losses successful a row, knocking disconnected nan Cleveland Cavaliers successful an NBA Cup Group Play matchup.

Now, they're favored astatine location against a Memphis Grizzlies squad that is down Ja Morant, Zach Edey, Brandon Clarke, Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. connected Sunday.

I can’t get down this Memphis squad without its apical 3 lead guards (Morant, Jerome and Pippen), particularly connected nan road. The Grizzlies are 3-3 this season, but they rank 21st successful nan NBA successful nett rating.

Now, they don’t person their champion subordinate (Morant) and person to spell connected nan roadworthy against a Raptors squad that is coming disconnected arguably its champion crippled of nan season.

I’ll backmost Toronto to get nan triumph connected Sunday night. 

Luka Doncic OVER 50.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-113)

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic has been arsenic bully arsenic it gets to commencement nan 2025-26 season.

He’s played successful 3 games, returning from aggregate injuries connected Friday against Memphis, and he’s averaging a whopping 45.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game. Doncic has double-digit boards successful each crippled and has scored astatine slightest 43 points successful each crippled this season.

He’s an MVP campaigner already, and he’s averaging complete 64 points, rebounds and assists per game.

While it’s improbable that Doncic keeps up this pace, I do emotion him successful this prop marketplace against a Miami Heat squad that is No. 1 successful nan NBA pace. There should beryllium a ton of possessions successful this game, and Miami has fixed up 125, 114, 107, 117 and 107 points successful 5 games this season.

If Miami tries to push nan play and play fast, Doncic should not only deed nan solid a bunch, but he should proceed his monolithic scoring commencement to nan season.

Luka is taking 25.7 shots and 14.0 free throws per game, giving him a terrific level erstwhile it comes to this prop connected Sunday night.
