Monday's Best NBA Player Prop Bets

Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook

Bam Adebayo OVER 28.5 Points/Rebounds/Assists (-115)

The Heat continue to play very well and are just two wins away from the Eastern Conference Finals as an eighth seed. This was a defensive-centric team throughout the regular season, but now the worst-scoring offense in the regular season is averaging 117.6 points per game.

Adebayo has been a significant presence down low in the playoffs against some fantastic competition in Brook Lopez and Mitchell Robinson. We went with this prop in the last game and it hit, and Adebayo went over this number in five out of his previous six.

LeBron James UNDER 26.5 Points (-115)

How would the Lakers respond to losing by 27 in Game 2? They would come home and grab a 30-point win. Anthony Davis regrouped from an 11-point performance in Game 2 to have 25 points, but the supporting cast with D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, and Dennis Schroder had immense contributions.

LeBron had a respectable 21 points in Game 3, but he did that in two quarters. He hasn't needed to take over games with how well others have done around him. He's gone over 26 points just once in the playoffs, which was Game 2 of the First Round.
