We’ve got some NBA player props for you!

The NBA Playoffs continue today, with four games scheduled for this evening. All look great from a bettor’s perspective, especially if you’re into putting your money on prop bets. If that’s the case, keep reading to see which player props we think are going to win.

Suns vs Clippers

Odds

Schedule

• When: Saturday, April 22, 2023, at 3:30 p.m ET
• Where: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, California
• Channel: TNT

Prop Pick

The Clippers are 2-1 down in the series against the Suns. Two days ago, they lost 129-124 at home, in a match in which the visitors were the dominating force for most of the time. In fact, the Suns even had a 13-point advantage at one point in the final quarter.

The series moves back to Phoenix after today’s game, which is why it’s extremely important for the Clippers to step up this afternoon. All of their players are expected to be very motivated, but this especially goes for Nicolas Batum who needs to fill in Kawhi Leonard’s shoes.

With Leonard out injured, Batum is bound to get more time on the court. He might not put on a vintage show, but we think he’s going to score more than usual. As a reminder, this guy scored zero points in three of his last four games. This time, he’s got to do better.

Bucks vs Heat

Odds

Schedule

• When: Saturday, April 22, 2023, at 7:30 p.m ET
• Where: Kaseya Center, Miami, Florida
• Channel: ESPN

Prop Pick

The Bucks vs Heat series is tied 1-1 and now is the time for the first game in Miami. The Heat were great at home in the regular season, with fan favorite Bam Adebayo usually showing up. We say “usually” because he hasn’t scored 20+ points in Miami since March 15.

We think that’s too long a wait for a player of his caliber. This evening, he’s going to record at least 20 points.

Grizzlies vs Lakers

Odds

Schedule

• When: Saturday, April 22, 2023, at 10 p.m ET
• Where: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, California
• Channel: TNT

Prop Pick

Three days ago, the Lakers lost 103-93 to the Grizzlies, so the playoff series is now 1-1 tied. That was the worst scoring output of the LA team since 2022, but it only means they’re going to do better. Tonight, the game is played on their turf, and we expect them to do great in the offense.

Their scoring leader LeBron James did okay in the first two games, but his teammates did not. Anthony Davis, for example, scored just 13 points in the second game. We’re almost 100% certain he’s gonna do way better tonight.
