OG Anunoby player props tonight

Sportsbooks have posted player props for OG Anunoby for Game 1, marking his first game in 13 days.

Market bet365
Over 15.5 points -115
Over 1.5 assists +120
Over 5.5 rebounds -115
Over 2.5 threes +135
Over 1.5 steals +132

Anunoby is not known for being a prolific passer, but he did log multiple assists in two of his last three games before going down with the hamstring strain.

He may be more eager to keep the ball moving and make the extra pass if he's struggling to find his scoring touch in his first game back. The +120 price makes this even more appetizing. 

Pick: OG Anunoby Over 1.5 assists (+120 at bet365)
