by |

There are two NBA playoff games tonight. That means player prop betting. Player prop betting is simple, pick a stat or combination of stats. Rebounds, points, and assists, then bet the player to achieve over or under that stat. 

Let’s look at the top player-prop bets for tonight.

Wednesday’s NBA Play-In Game Player Prop Bets

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

Toronto Raptors vs. Chicago Bulls

Both of these teams are playing to make it into the playoffs. Tonight is a must win. That means both teams will play hard on both sides. That makes tonight an ideal game for player-prop betting. Players will get plenty of minutes. Those additional minutes will mean more shot opportunities.

The player that will benefit from this the most is Fred VanVleet. VanVleet has a high shot volume against the Chicago Bulls. Shooting over an average of eight three-point attempts each time these teams have played in the regular season. The first time these two teams played, he scored thirty points. The second time they played, he scored twenty-seven points. He has proven he can score against the Bulls team. 

Fred VanVleet Over 18.5 Points (-110)

New Orleans Pelicans vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

These two teams played four times during the regular season. That means bettors will have a good idea of how these players do when playing against each other. The key is to pick players that consistently play well against the other team.

Tonight that player is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He averages 33.5 points against the New Orleans Pelicans. That Thunder plays through Gilgeous-Alexander. That means he will get the most scoring opportunities tonight against the Pelicans. Bettors can take advantage of this consistency tonight in a must-win game for both teams.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 32.5 Points (-120)
