And that&#8217;s exactly what he has on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Sengun has averaged 30.0 points in two games vs. Utah this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Washington over 16.5 points (-124):<\/strong> Dallas&#8217; forward recently missed seven games with an injury but has returned to play some of his best ball of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Washington has played six games since rejoining the lineup, averaging 21.7 points on 56.5% shooting (40.7% from 3-point range).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He has 16+ points in 5 of those 6 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday against the Brooklyn Nets, Washington scored 13 points on just seven shots. So the issue was volume, not efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has shot over 50.0% from the field in every game since returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight is a nice opportunity to do damage as the Atlanta Hawks allow the second-most PPG to power forwards (24.23).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This matchup has the highest point total of any game on Wednesday (239).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sabonis over 40.5 points\/rebounds\/assists (-112):<\/strong> This stat line is very achievable for Sabonis on any night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He averages 39.0 points\/rebounds\/assists, but this pick is all about the matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Washington Wizards give up the most PRA to centres per game (47.0), and it&#8217;s not close. For reference, the next team on the list is the New Orleans Pelicans (45.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sabonis played Washington earlier this season and he dominated. He finished with 29 points, 18 rebounds and four assists (51 PRA) in a below-average 31 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 11:20 a.m. ET on 04\/02\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two star centres headline Wednesday&#8217;s best NBA prop bets.
