Friday’s Best NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets
Here are my favorite plays from each game tonight.
Boston Celtics at Atlanta Hawks
Playing at home is a benefit to the Hawks more than the books indicate. Both these offenses rank in the top seven, and Atlanta has a top 10 pace.
Brown has been the money man for me this season. I am not going to stop utilizing him now. I see his points and assists as the value, so I am just going to bet on the combo prop.
Williams has played 22 minutes in the first games, but his usage has been way higher this season than in the playoffs. He has the potential to skyrocket past this prop.
Cleveland Cavaliers at New York Knicks
-
- Josh Hart Over 5.5 rebounds (-145 Caesars)
- RJ Barrett Over 18.5 Pts + Ast (-110 DraftKings)
- Quentin Grimes Over 11.5 Pts + Reb (-110 DraftKings)
Hart is with a squad that rebounds at the highest clip in the playoffs. It may not be the most valuable bet, but it has an 80 percent chance of hitting, which means I really like the value.
Barrett is one of the best values on the slate, with a +39 percent bet rating. Cleveland's defense is solid, but Barrett's prop total is now a value with the over.
Grimes is in a similar situation. He's averaged nearly 11.5 points this season alone. Despite scoring woes in the last two games, he's due for a bounceback.
Denver Nuggets at Minnesota Timberwolves
Life is too short to bet the under. Gordon has averaged nearly 10 assists plus rebounds this season. He had 10 rebounds alone last time out.
Caldwell-Pope is projected at 14.6 points and has a five-star rating on the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet. I trust the numbers here and see him scoring nearly as much as the combo prop.
In the end, I trust Towns to show out tonight at home. I will be betting one unit on each of these bets.
