Top NBA Player Prop Bets for Sunday, February 8, 2026
Nikola Vucevic: Over 7.5 Rebounds (-120)
In his recent debut with the Celtics, Nikola Vucevic made a significant impact. During the team’s comeback win against the Heat, he logged 27.5 minutes off the bench, contributing 11 points and 12 rebounds.
Vucevic capitalized on 17 rebound chances and ranked second on the team in plus/minus with +11. Looking ahead to the matchup against the Knicks, it is anticipated he will play around 30 minutes. The Knicks’ consistent lineup often includes a natural center, and Vucevic’s rebounding skills are notable. This season, he averages 9.0 rebounds per game. Additionally, in his last matchup against New York in late November, he secured 14 rebounds.
Brook Lopez: Over 9.5 Points (-126)
Following Ivica Zubac’s trade to the Pacers, Brook Lopez has stepped into the starting center role for the Clippers. In his recent game against the Kings, he delivered a noteworthy performance, scoring 15 points in 36.2 minutes.
Lopez has consistently scored at least 11 points in two of his last three starts, making him a strong candidate to exceed 9.5 points against the Timberwolves. Despite Minnesota’s tough defense, Lopez’s role is crucial, and he is likely to see ample opportunities to score. Throughout 13 games where he has played over 20 minutes this season, Lopez averages 10.8 points per game.
Scottie Barnes: Under 0.5 Made Three-Pointers (+113)
Scottie Barnes is recognized for his overall skills, yet his outside shooting remains a challenge. This season, he averages only 0.9 made three-pointers on 3.1 attempts, resulting in a 30% success rate.
Recently, Barnes has struggled, failing to make a three-pointer in seven out of his last ten games. The upcoming match against the Pacers may not favor him, as Indiana leads the league in fewest three-pointers allowed per game at 11.4 and has a third-lowest opponent three-point percentage of 34.5%. In three games against the Pacers this season, Barnes made just one three-pointer. Betting on him to not make any trey at +113 odds is an appealing option.
Summary of Key Bets
- Nikola Vucevic: Over 7.5 rebounds
- Brook Lopez: Over 9.5 points
- Scottie Barnes: Under 0.5 made three-pointers
As the NBA season progresses, these prop bets provide exciting opportunities for both casual and seasoned bettors. Keep an eye on these players as they take the court this Sunday.
