We’re down to just eight teams as the conference semifinals take place over the next two weeks or so. Arguably the best matchup comes between the Curry led-Warriors taking on LeBron’s Lakers. Golden State is -145 to win the series over Los Angeles (+125), and I think the Warriors are a bet on at that number.
Here are the best PrizePicks plays for NBA action on Monday, May 1.
Monday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
Jayson Tatum Over 13.5 Rebounds+Assists
Over the last two seasons, Tatum has been a dishing and rebounding machine against the Sixers. He has cleared this in seven of eight games averaging 16.4 rebounds+assists in these contests with Philly. Tatum eclipsed this mark in four of the six games against Atlanta, led the team in potential rebounds per game (15), and was second on the team in potential assists (8.2). He averaged 15.3 RA per game against the Hawks while playing close to 40 minutes, and if he gets that much time on the floor again, he should once again go over this.

Deandre Ayton Under 26.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists
Since Kevin Durant joined the rotation, Ayton has seen his production take a stark drop. In eight regular season games playing together, Ayton was under this in five games, averaging 23 PRA per game. He looked awful trying to stop Jokic in Game 1 and tallied just 22 PRA. Ayton has now played in three games against the Nuggets with KD and has failed to clear this mark in all three games. There’s no reason to think that will change tonight.
Jamal Murray Over 24.5 Points
Murray has been a problem these playoffs when he plays in the elevation of Denver. He has scored 24, 40, 35, and 34 points at home and the Suns were one of the more friendly matchups to opposing point guards this season, allowing the fifth most points per game to the position. Murray has had at least 25 points in seven of his last 10 games against Phoenix and we just saw Russell Westbrook do damage against them in the first round. With Murray playing upwards of 40 minutes, he should get to at least 25 points tonight at home.
