Best NBA Player Prop Bets for Sunday, December 19: Fade Nance, Back Ellington To Close Out The Weekend

We’ve got just six matchups on the dwindling NBA slate on Sunday due to COVID-19 protocols, but we still have a pair of player props we believe are best to be backing among the action. Let’s look at who we are taking in tonight’s matchups.

Check out the prop projections given to you at SportsGrid for more prop bet possibilities in addition to this pair of players we believe should come out on top tonight.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Wayne Ellington had only seen one start with the team in his first 20 games this season but has started in each of their last two matchups due to a COVID outbreak and a slew of injuries within the team. Ellington put up nine and ten field goal attempts in those two starts, both season-highs when they happened, which means his starts are immediately producing an uptick in his shot volume. Although he has only toppled this number three times this season, this increased role will certainly help him out as he has launched nine three-point attempts in both games. Look to jump on Ellington before his points totals start to inflate on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls.
