NBA Player Props for Sunday, April 6
- Jaxson Hayes Under 6.5 Points (-120)
- Deni Avdija Over 9.5 Rebounds (+114)
- Fred VanVleet Over 4.5 Assists (-145)
Jaxson Hayes Under 6.5 Points (-120)
Lakers vs Thunder, 3:30 p.m. ET
This should be a fun matchup between teams that could meet in the Western Conference Finals. It might not feature much of Hayes, though. He's been minimized in these more important games against better teams down the stretch.
Hayes played between 15-17 minutes against Memphis, Houston, and Golden State before spiking a 24-minute game last time out against New Orleans. Los Angeles will have all of their key players available, so we're likely to see another sub-20-minute outing from Hayes.
The Thunder is a nightmare matchup in many ways, but they're particularly hard on interior scorers. Oklahoma allows 3.5 fewer points in the paint per game than the next-closest team. That's the difference between 2nd and 16th on the list. It's just a massive gap between the Thunder and the other defenses. Hayes scores 83.6% of his points from inside the paint.
Pick: Jaxson Hayes Under 6.5 Points (-120)
Deni Avdija Over 9.5 Points (+114)
Spurs vs Trail Blazers, 6:00 p.m. ET
I'm going right back to Deni Avdija after hitting the step ladder on Friday. He leads Portland with 10.7 rebounds on 17.0 rebound chances since the start of March.
