Victor Wembanyama has showcased remarkable performance in his initial two games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, averaging 31.0 points, 20.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. As the San Antonio Spurs prepare to host the Thunder for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals at 8:30 p.m. ET, Wembanyama remains a significant focus for NBA prop bets.

Wembanyama's over/under for total rebounds + assists is set at 17.5. SportsLine NBA expert Mike Barner anticipates he will surpass this total, citing his impressive stats from previous games: 27 combined rebounds and assists in Game 1, which went into double overtime, and 23 combined in Game 2.

On the other hand, expert David Bearman is betting against Thunder center Chet Holmgren, who is struggling with an average of just 10.5 points per game in this series. His over/under for Game 3 is 13.5 points. Bearman notes Holmgren's inconsistency, having exceeded 14.5 points only once this season against the Spurs.

Top NBA player prop picks for Thunder vs. Spurs:

• Victor Wembanyama, Spurs: Over 17.5 rebounds + assists
• Chet Holmgren, Thunder: Under 13.5 points
• Julian Champagnie, Spurs: Over 10.5 points

Barner emphasizes Wembanyama's increased playing time during the playoffs, averaging 33 minutes in his last 10 games, which boosts his chances for high rebound totals. Despite a poor showing in Game 2, Champagnie is expected to have more opportunities to score due to injuries affecting teammates Dylan Harper and De'Aaron Fox. With the home crowd behind him, Wembanyama is poised for another standout performance.
