Thursday’s Best NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook

Joel Embiid Over 3.5 Assists (-115 DraftKings)

Philadelphia is leading this series 2-0. They have dominated on both offense and defense in the first two games. That is because Brooklyn does not have the defensive players to stop Philadelphia from scoring. They have to focus their efforts on stopping Joel Embiid from scoring.

Last game, the Nets double-teamed Embiid. That opened up other players for Embiid to pass the ball to. Embiid had seven assists by the end of the game. Since the Nets do not have anyone strong enough on defense to defend Embiid, there is a good chance the same strategy gets implemented in this game. That strategy allows bettors to take advantage of the matchup again tonight.

Stephen Curry Over 29.5 Points (-115 DraftKings)

This series has been one of the most drama-filled in the playoffs, between the controversial referees and Draymond Green getting suspended for a game after stomping on a player’s chest. Draymond Green sitting out will create additional opportunities for the Golden State Warriors.

Steph Curry can take advantage of these opportunities. He is one of the best scorers in the NBA. This season he averaged 32.5 points per game against the Kings. That is three points over the point line tonight. Curry is a guy that can score in bunches from deep, and that always makes him a threat to score points over the point line.
