Saturday's Best NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets

Russell Westbrook UNDER 9.5 Assists (+106)
The Clippers lost Game 3 in Los Angeles and are now in a 2-1 hole. What will make this even tougher is that they will have to do it without their two best players – Paul George was already ruled out of this series, but now Kawahi Leonard will miss another game due to a knee injury.
It will be interesting to see how they try to attack a Phoenix offense that has been great the last two games, especially Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.
Westbrook has done a great job running point for this offense, but as great as the Suns are on offense, defensively, they're just as good at keeping their opponent from spreading the ball. They’ve allowed the fewest assists per game to point guards this season and had the seventh-best opponent assist percentage.
Grayson Allen OVER 2.5 Threes (+150)
In Game 2, the Bucks had the challenging task of trying to win without MVP finalist Giannis Antetokounmpo, but they were able to step up and cruise to a 138-122 win. Antetokounmpo has not practiced since landing on his back, forcing him to leave Game 1, and his status is questionable.
Milwaukee got it done by attacking the paint with Brooks Lopez and Bobby Portis, allowing the Bucks to find the high-percentage perimeter shots.
Allen saw a ton of looks from behind the arc and had over ten attempts from three for the third time in 74 games this year. He's gone over this prop in four of five games against Miami this year, and they're allowing the fifth-most threes per game to shooting guards.
LeBron James OVER 28.5 Points (-115)
The Lakers took away home court from the Grizzlies by grabbing a win in Memphis. The big question for the Grizz is the status of Ja Morant, and although they were able to get the Game 2 win without him, it will be tough to win this series if he's not on the court.
This prop is an interesting one to take because it’s more about gauging a personal aspect of this matchup. After the Game 2 win, Memphis' Dillion Brooks commented about LeBron James, which included calling him "old."
Brooks poked the bear, and calling out the all-time scoring leader was not a good idea.
