Monday’s Best NBA Playoffs Prop Bets

Jamal Murray Over 37.5 Points/Rebounds/Assists (-113)
The Nuggets are on the verge of closing this series with a sweep of the Lakers. They have done so well throughout the playoffs in playing great two-way basketball and are second in points scored per game and the opponent’s average points.
There are two key players to the Nuggets’ success in the playoffs. Nikola Jokic could be a Finals MVP if they lift the Larry O’Brien, especially if he continues to play the way he is, with seven triple-doubles in 14 games and two in this series. You also have Jamal Murray with seven 30+ point performances, including in all three games this series. Can Murray repeat the performance? Possibly, but what I feel more comfortable taking is the combo prop. He can contribute in other ways if he doesn’t get the points.
Anthony Davis OVER 40.5 Points/Rebounds (-113)
For the Lakers, LeBron James and Anthony Davis have done their best to carry this team, especially Davis. He’s averaging 22.6 points and 14 rebounds and has 12 double-doubles in 15 games, including in all three of this series. Even against a larger lineup in the Nuggets hasn’t slowed him down, and he should continue to get his opportunities. It’ll be all hands on deck in an elimination game, but Davis has already played over 40 minutes in each game. That will happen again, and it will help him have another big performance as the Lakers try to stay alive.
