Saturday’s Best NBA Playoffs Prop Bets

Nikola Jokic OVER 53.5 Points/Rebounds/Assist (-111)
The Nuggets continue to dominate in the playoffs as, once again, they capture the first two games at home. In this series, they’ve been able to physically outplay the Lakers on both ends and come out with two wins, even with LeBron James and Anthony Davis putting up great individual performances.
What Nikola Jokic has been doing throughout the playoffs needs to be noted. He has seven triples out of 13 games, including four straight. He doesn’t do this against inferior talent — he’s matched up Deandre Ayton, Anthony Davis, and Rudy Gobert. It’s tough to double-team someone as great as Jokic because he has no problem dishing it out to other dependable options. It will be hard to stop him when he can put up these numbers against a good defensive opponent.
LeBron James OVER 33.5 Points/Assist (-104)
Down 0-2 for the first time in this year’s playoffs, the Lakers will have a tough mountain to climb to keep this magical run going.
LeBron has done his best to keep his team in both games and for the first time in the playoffs, he’s played 40 minutes in back-to-back games. This is a must-win because even at home, you can’t go down 0-3. James should continue to get a lot of playing time and control the ball, whether it’s taking it himself or facilitating it.
