NBA Playoffs PrizePicks Player Predictions: Friday (5/19)

Led by playoff Jimmy and his 35 points, the Heat managed to steal Game 1 in Boston. It appears that everyone expects the Celtics to rebound and win in convincing fashion tonight considering they are nine-point favorites. They should win, but this line seems a little too steep in my estimation. The Heat have proven time and time again that they can hang around with the best in the playoffs, and there’s no reason to think they’ll fold tonight.

Friday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions

Here are the best PrizePicks plays for NBA action on Friday, May 19.

Bam Adebayo Over 18 Points

Maybe lost in the limelight of Butler’s phenomenal performance was Bam, who finished with 20 points on 9-13 shooting. He led the game with a +18 rating and has faired well facing Boston all year. In five games against them, he has scored 19, 23, 28, 30, and 20 points. Adebayo has scored 18+ points in four straight games and seven of 12 overall. The Celtics ought to put more attention on Butler, and if they do, Bam should see even more scoring opportunities.
