Today's Top NBA Prop Bet Picks & Predictions, Sunday 03/08 (Dennis Schroder Highlights): Stat Projections & Picks

Heading into the Sunday face-off between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers, it's worth taking a closer look at Celtics' Payton Pritchard under 20.5 points + assists. The young point guard has been showing a downward trend in his performance on the road. In his last five away games, Pritchard's combined points and assists average only 11.4, falling significantly short of the 20.5 target. Even when focusing on his past encounters with the Cavaliers, he averages a modest 12.4 combined points and assists. Now, Pritchard's a fighter, no question about that, but taking his recent performances into account, it seems the Celtics' dynamo might again hit below the set mark. An added reassurance is his consistent underperformance, hitting the under in 5 of his last 6 away games. In the world of sports betting, trends like these are worth their weight in gold.

Kyle Filipowski (Utah Jazz) Under 13.5 Points (-135)

Here's a spicy take you didn't see coming - Kyle Filipowski, typically a reliable scorer for the Jazz, might be cooling off on his hot streak, especially with the Bucks on the horizon. Now, don't get me wrong, he's been solid on the road, averaging 11.8 points in his last five away games, but his numbers take a nosedive when he's up against Milwaukee. In his last five encounters with the Bucks, he's averaged a meager 3 points, and shockingly, hasn't managed to put a single point on the board when playing in Milwaukee's den. We're looking at an under 13.5 points for Filipowski on Sunday, March 8, 2026. That's a bet with a 57.5% implied probability, and given his recent performance against Milwaukee, it could be a smart way to go. The Jazz man may just hit a sour note this time around.

Kyle Filipowski (Utah Jazz) Under 15.5 Points + Assists (-130)

When the Jazz hit the road to face the Bucks this Sunday, all eyes will be on Kyle Filipowski. The typically high-octane player has shown a tendency to cool off on away games. Over his last five treks, Filipowski's contributions have dwindled to an average of 11.8 points and a meager 2.2 assists. There's something about Milwaukee's air that seems to stifle Filipowski further. His last five encounters with the Bucks have seen him net a paltry average of 3 points, with his assists count halved. Away from Utah, his numbers against Bucks are virtually non-existent. When you consider these stats, coupled with his recent hit rate of 4 out of 4 unders on the road, it seems prudent to expect Filipowski to clock in under 15.5 combined points and assists. So, come Sunday, don't be surprised if Filipowski's usually fiery performance fizzles just a bit in Brew City.

Aaron Wiggins (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 14.5 Points + Assists (-130)

Let's chat about Aaron Wiggins, the Oklahoma City Thunder's shooting guard. He's been fairly modest lately, especially when you consider his recent performances under the bright lights of home games. In the last five, he's managed an average of just 7 points and 0.4 assists - nowhere near the 14.5 target. Even when you put him head-to-head with the Warriors, his stats don't exactly shoot through the roof. He's delivered an average of 8.2 points and 0.8 assists in those matchups. What's more, his expected stat value sits at a humble 12.03. All in all, it's hard to see him suddenly going supernova this Sunday. So, don't be swayed by the bright lights of the NBA - the under 14.5 on points + assists for Wiggins seems like a good call.

Bobby Portis (Milwaukee Bucks) Over 13.5 Points + Assists (-125)

When the Milwaukee Bucks and Utah Jazz clash this Sunday, all eyes should be on Bobby Portis. This Bucks' powerhouse has been proving his mettle on the home court recently. He's been consistently hitting the mark, averaging 13.4 points and a solid 2.2 assists in the last five home games. That's just shy of the over 13.5 we're eyeing. But here's the kicker - Portis' performances against the Jazz have been even more impressive. He's averaged a whopping 16.2 points in their recent showdowns, and at home, that number nudges up to 16.3. Sure, his assists drop a touch against the Jazz, but his scoring prowess more than compensates. With a 6 out of 9 hit rate at home, Portis is certainly in his comfort zone. So, come Sunday, expect Portis to surpass that 13.5 mark, making the over a winning bet.
