Sunday's NBA slate of Playoff games includes an exciting Game 7 showdown between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns. FanDuel Sportsbook is currently listing the Suns as the 6.5-point home favorites over the Mavericks.

Here's three of the best prop bets for the Mavericks-Suns game, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Mavericks vs Suns Player Props

1. Dorian Finney-Smith - Points: Under 11.5 (-110)

This game has a Luka Doncic takeover written all over it, which could leave very little opportunity for Dallas' role players to get in on the action. Dorian Finney-Smith relies solely on his long-range shooting to score the basketball and it has been a little off lately. The 29-year-old has only attempted eight shots from beyond the arc over the last two games and made just three of them. That is a major downgrade from Games 3 & 4 when he drained 12 of his 23 three-point attempts. Phoenix has adjusted to Finney-Smith's game and is crowding him out by the perimeter. 12 points is a lot to ask of the veteran.

2. Chris Paul - Points + Rebounds + Assists: Over 29.5 (-120)

This prop bet has more to do with motivation than anything else. Chris Paul has been held in check of most of this series and looks visibly frustrated on the court at times. He has to be heading into Game 7 looking to turn everything on its head with a big performance. Paul has a good opportunity to do just that given he is shooting 56.1% from the floor in this series. His shooting stroke has been on point, he just hasn't been taking as many shots. Look for that to change considering the veteran All-Star averages 20.6 points, 9.9 assists and 5.9 rebounds across seven career Game 7s.

3. Mikal Bridges - Rebounds: Over 4.5 (-122)

Mikal Bridges has turned into one of Phoenix's most well-rounded players. Not only does he play shutdown defense and keep opposing star players in check, but he also finds a way to rack up boards. Bridges has posted at least five rebounds in four of the six games in this series. Players are often not looking to shoot when covered by Bridges, which gives the former Villanova standout more time to get into proper rebounding position. It also helps that Dallas has yet to shoot over 50% as a team in any of these last six games. More misses mean more opportunities for rebounds.
