3 minTuesday's NBA Prop Bets: Can Walker Kessler Continue his Streak in the NBA Cup?
We have the last day of group play in the NBA Cup tonight and I have found a player prop that I love for one of the games today. I am going to be looking at the Oklahoma City Thunder vs Utah Jazz game in OKC and I will be taking the Jazz Center, Walker Kessler to go over his points + rebounds line and ladder him up to 10+ Points and Rebounds (Double-Double). Let me explain why I like this player prop here tonight.

Tuesday's NBA Prop Bets - Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz have been dealing with tons of injuries so far this season and tonight will be no different. Kyle Filipowski and Jordan Clarkson remain out for this one. They have missed the last 3 games as well and in those games Walker Kessler saw his minutes increase as he played 35, 31, and 30 minutes. In those 3 games, he recorded a double-double in all of them and went for 24, 28, and 28 points + rebounds. I am expecting him to see similar minutes here which is what we want as Kessler has recorded a double-double in 8 of 8 games this season when playing 29 or more minutes. He has 21+ points + rebounds in all 8 of those games as well averaging 26.8 points + rebounds. Let me dive into the matchup more to explain why I think his outlook improves even more.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been a good matchup for opposing centers this season, especially since they lost Chet Holmgren for some time due to injury. They now have Isaiah Hartenstein back, but they are still a very small team. Here is how opposing centers have done over the last 7 Games vs OKC:
- Alperen Sengun 20 Points & 14 Rebounds
- Anthony Davis 15 Points & 12 Rebounds
- Draymond Green10 Points & 14 Rebounds
- Domantas Sabonis 21 Points & 10 Rebounds
- Donovan Clingan 10 Points & 9 Rebounds (21 minutes)
- Daniel Gafford 11 Points & 12 Rebounds
5 centers have recorded double-doubles in that stretch and at least one center has gone over 17.5 points + rebounds in each game. Lastly, Kessler has played 25+ minutes in 3 career games vs OKC. He put up PR statlines of 27, 21, 25 Points+Rebounds in 3 career games vs OKC with 25+ minutes (2 Double-Doubles).
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Utah Jazz Prop Bets
- PICK: (UTA) Walker Kessler OVER 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-130 @ BetMGM) (1 Unit)
- PICK: (UTA) Walker Kessler 10+ Points + 10+ Rebounds (+280 @ Bet365) (.3 Units)
