NBA Player Props, Breakdown, Odds, and Picks (Apr 8)

• We’re only a day away from the end of the 2022-23 NBA regular season.
• Kawhi Leonard ready to help the Clippers book the ticket to the Playoffs.
• Rudy Gobert to put on a great show in Austin, TX, this afternoon.

It’s the penultimate day of the NBA regular season. Only three games are on the program this afternoon, but that’s more than enough if your plan is to bet on player props. We’ve got a couple of interesting picks for you, so stay put!

Trail Blazers vs. Clippers

How to Watch

• When: Saturday, April 8, 2023, at 4 p.m ET
• Where: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, California
• Channel: NBA League Pass

Odds

Prop Pick

Even though the Clippers have already booked their ticket to the postseason, it’s still unclear whether they’re going to get to the Playoffs directly or whether they’re going to go through the Play-Ins. The good news for them is that their Playoff destiny is in their hands – they just need to keep on winning to secure their place in the top 6 in the Western Conference.

Knowing this, it’s only logical to assume that all the Clippers players are going to be fired up this afternoon against the Trail Blazers, who’ve got nothing to fight for. This goes especially for their superstar Kawhi Leonard, whom we expect to shine. After all, this guy usually performs well in LA. The evidence of this is that he scored 20+ in four of the Clippers’ last five games at Crypto.com Arena.

Timberwolves vs. Spurs

How to Watch

• When: Saturday, April 8, 2023, at 4 p.m ET
• Where: Moody Center, Austin, Texas
• Channel: NBA League Pass

Odds

Prop Pick

The Timberwolves have clinched a spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament, and they even have a chance to get to the Top 6. However, for that to happen, they need Lady Luck to be on their side – they need to see the Clippers, the Lakers, and even the Pelicans lose their remaining games.

Such a scenario seems very unlikely to happen, but one can hope. And the Timberwolves sure hope it’s going to happen, which is why they’re going to give their utmost in their remaining two games of the regular season.

This afternoon, they should have an easy job against the Spurs. Still, they probably don’t wish to leave anything to chance. Instead, all of their best players will take this game super-seriously. This includes Rudy Gobert, who should put on a brilliant performance in Austin.
