There is only one NBA game 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 us look at the top player prop bets tonight.

Wednesday’s Best NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets

Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat

The Eastern Conference finals might be the best matchup we have seen in the playoffs. Miami and Boston are both playing fantastic basketball right now. That high level of play means player prop betting has plenty of betting value. Bettors will be able to benefit from all of the talented players on these teams.

Jayson Tatum Over 29.5 Points (-113 FanDuel)

The first player prop I like tonight is Jayson Tatum over 29.5 points. Tatum is one of the best scorers in the NBA and has the third most shot attempts per game. The ability Tatum has to score, along with the shot opportunities, means Tatum is always a threat to have a high-scoring game. He had big games against the Heat during the regular season, including a 49-point game.

Jimmy Butler Over 27.5 Points (-118 FanDuel)

Jimmy Butler has been dominating the playoffs. He is averaging 31.1 points per game and has been fantastic defensively. There is a good chance that Miami’s magical season ends here, but Jimmy Butler’s toughness will give Miami a chance to stay in the series. Butler’s toughness and gameplay make him a great candidate for bettors to take advantage of tonight.
