NBA Best Bets for Sunday, October 26
Senior editor Peter Dewey from Sports Illustrated Betting provides key prop bets and moneyline picks for Sunday’s NBA action. The slate features a mix of teams with varying records, including the undefeated New York Knicks and Washington Wizards’ Kyshawn George.
Luka Doncic Prop Bet: Over 16.5 Assists and Rebounds
Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is off to an impressive start in the 2025-26 season, scoring over 80 percent from two-point range for his team. Dewey highlights a prop bet on Doncic to exceed 16.5 assists and rebounds against the Sacramento Kings. With the Kings ranking low in opponent rebounds per game, Doncic is expected to have plenty of opportunities to hit the glass.
Immanuel Quickley Prop Bet: Over 25.5 Points, Rebounds, and Assists
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley has started strong this season with averages of 16.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game. Dewey believes the line is too low for Quickley against a Dallas Mavericks team that is 0-2 in their current campaign. Quickley’s recent performances, including a 34-point outing, indicate he could easily surpass this total.
New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat Moneyline Bet
The New York Knicks have begun the season with a 2-0 record and are favored over the Miami Heat in their matchup on Sunday. Despite the Heat’s high-scoring games against Orlando and Memphis, Dewey sees this as an opportunity for the Knicks to slow down the more talented Miami team. Key players like Josh Hart (probable) and Karl-Anthony Towns (questionable) are expected to return from injury.
Milwaukee Bucks-Toronto Raptors Six-Point Teaser
Dewey also suggests a six-point teaser involving the Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors. He predicts the Bucks, who are 2-0 this season, can cover against the Cleveland Cavaliers despite being underdogs. The Raptors are favored in their game but Dewey believes they have a strong floor with recent performances against Atlanta and Milwaukee.
