NBA Playoffs PrizePicks Player Predictions: Monday (5/22)

The Lakers dropped the ball in Game 3 and are in a position no team has ever come back from in the NBA. Down 3-0, their backs are against the wall, but the lead doesn’t accurately depict how close these games have been. The two games in Denver came down to the wire, and even Game 3 was relatively close. L.A. had the lead with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter before it ultimately got out of hand. Hopefully, LeBron can will this team to a victory to give us more playoff basketball come Wednesday.

Monday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions

Here are the best PrizePicks plays for NBA action on Monday, May 22.

Austin Reaves Over 17.5 Points

The Lakers’ third-best scoring option, Austin Reaves, has been on fire as of late. He has scored 22+ points in four straight games and 21+ in five of his last six. The Oklahoma native is seeing plenty of time on the floor, averaging 37.8 minutes per game over this span. With D’Angelo Russell playing as poorly as he has, Reaves has been the one to step up in his absence, and I expect him to do the same once again tonight.
