Saturday's Best NBA Player Props
(All bets are for one unit unless stated otherwise.)
James Harden Under 29.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-119 at DraftKings Sportsbook)
James Harden has gone under this line in both games so far this series - pretty comfortably - with 22 and 26 combined points + rebounds + assists.
The Knicks’ defense has proven to be a problem for Harden, who is shooting 31% from the floor and 40% from the field. He has played better at home versus on the road in the playoffs, but I'm backing the Knicks’ defense to stick to what's been working.
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 Rebounds (-106 at FanDuel Sportsbook)
Karl-Anthony Towns has seen 24 and 23 rebound chances while pulling in 13 boards in each game. We are riding the high rebound chances he's seeing until the wheels fall off this series.
When Towns has recorded 15+ rebound chances in the playoffs, he's averaging 12 rebounds and has gone over this line in five out of seven games. When that number balloons to 20 rebound chances, he's averaging 14 boards and has gone over in all three games.
Karl-Anthony Towns to Record a Double-Double (-200 at FanDuel Sportsbook)
I love this play, but it is very juicy, so consider it more of a parlay leg, unless you're fine laying the juice. Karl-Anthony Towns has gone over this line in eight out of 12 playoff games and in both games this series.
