2024 NBA bets, lines and stats for Sunday - ESPN

The NBA has a relatively light schedule on this Sunday, perhaps due in part to the NFL version of the Final Four scheduled for this evening. There are still five NBA games on tap, featuring 10 teams with interesting angles and opportunities to outperform expectations. Here are a few that catch my attention, even on this sparse slate.

This game is a battle between two teams that will both be without their all-world point guards, with Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) expected to sit again on Sunday and Ja Morant out for the season. The Pacers are largely healthy otherwise, but the Grizzlies continue to be without the majority of their starting lineup. But, both teams have remained very competitive despite their injuries, to the point that 9.5 points seems too many to give in either direction.

Gary Trent Jr. over 2.5 total 3-pointers made (-130). Trent moved into the starting lineup for the Raptors after their recent trades, and in those five starts has averaged 3.4 made 3-pointers per game. Trent could get even more looks than usual on Sunday, with scoring lead guard Immanuel Quickley (quad) sidelined. He'll be facing a Hawks defense that allows the fifth-most made 3-pointers to opposing shooting guards (3.8 3PG allowed).

Coby White over 21.5 points (-140). White has become the most consistent scoring threat on the Bulls, particularly when Zach LaVine is out. LaVine (ankle) has missed the last three games and will be out again on Sunday. White has averaged 23.1 PPG in his last 11 games, with at
