Thursday's Best NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets

Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics

This series has been one of the best series of the playoffs. Philadelphia is leading 3-2, but anyone can win this series. Both of these teams are championship-caliber teams. They have elite-level talent. That means this is one of the best games to player prop bet. 

The player with the most betting value tonight is the league MVP. That is Joel Embiid. He averaged 33.1 points per game during the regular season. That is almost three points over tonight’s betting line. Joel Embiid is one of the most talented big men in the league, and that talent will let him score points tonight against the Celtics. 

Joel Embiid Over 30.5 Points (-104)

 Phoenix Suns vs. Denver Nuggets

Denver is leading this series 3-2 and could win the series with a win tonight. The Suns have plenty of talented players to make this into a seven-game series. Bettors will want this series to keep going because of all the betting value within these two teams. 

Devin Booker has been dominant during the playoffs. He is averaging 35.9 points per game and has been a big piece of both wins the Suns have gotten during this series. The Nuggets have struggled to stop Booker, and bettors can use that to their advantage tonight. Devin Booker will continue to be a dominant force. 

Devin Booker Over 31.5 Points (-122)
