Best Scottie Barnes prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Scottie Barnes 6+ points in the first quarter (-128)

Barnes is averaging 24.2 PPG on 50% shooting in this series vs. the Cavaliers, and a good amount of his damage has come in the first quarter, with Barnes leading the Raptors with 7.2 PPG in the first period. The forward has scored at least eight points in five of these six games, and Brandon Ingram (doubtful, heel) is expected to remain sidelined for Game 7, leaving Barnes with a bigger role than usual.

Barnes has made five starts without Ingram this season, and Barnes is leading Toronto with 7.8 PPG in the first quarter of these tilts while handling a 30.9% usage rate. In all but one of these five games, Barnes has scored at least seven first-quarter points.

The Cavaliers rank 12th in defensive rating of the 16 teams this postseason, and Barnes should get off to a strong start in Sunday’s Game 7.
