It’s time for the postseason! I’ve added a PrizePicks square for each game of the NBA slate below!
Like every PrizePicks article, we’ll give our four-player props you can use for a four-leg entry Power Play. A two-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -137 for each prop. A three-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -141. A four-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -128 for each bet.
Getting -128 on the same prop is better than getting -137 or -141. Moving forward, we’ll stick to four-leg entries.
Remember that a Flex play can still win if one pick misses, but you’d get lower payouts.

Cole Anthony has averaged 11.6 points per game. He’s also averaged 11.3 points per game against the Cavaliers in four games this year. While his minutes have decreased, Anthony has still added 8.4 points per game in the month. He’s also attempted nearly eight shots per game with 2.5 three per game.
Heading into this game, Anthony has scored at least seven points in three consecutive games. He also had a 23-point outburst against Milwaukee when he got 33 minutes. If Anthony begins the game strong, his minutes could increase. He’s still one of the best pure scorers on the Magic, and sometimes, you need those types of guys to shine during the playoffs.
Bradley Beal More Than 18 Points
Bradley Beal has faced the Timberwolves twice this season. In those two games, he’s averaged 25 points on 66.7% from the field. He’s also hit 88.9% of his threes and averaged 32 minutes a night.
This month alone, Beal has tallied 21 points per game. He’s also shot better than 69% from deep and nearly 60% from the field.
On Sunday, when the Suns played the Timberwolves, Beal played 38 minutes and shot 14-for-21 to score 36 points. What’s stopping him from putting up these stats again tonight?
Buddy Hield More Than 6.5 Points
The Knicks have ranked 27th in points allowed to small forwards this season. Meanwhile, Buddy Hield has scored at least seven points in 82% of games this year.
Hield has been averaging about 20 minutes a game lately. He’s also coming off the bench for the 76ers. But he’s nailed at least seven points in nine of his last ten games, including the Play-In Tournament against the Heat. It’s still likely Hield will attempt a high number of threes against the Knicks. He’s already averaged more than 10 points against the Knicks this season. That’ll be enough if he can nail two threes and earn a trip to the foul line.
Nikola Jokic Less Than 27.5 Points
Maybe it’s because the Nuggets were in cruise control over the last week. However, Jokic added no more than 22 points in his final two regular-season games. He played 39 minutes against the Spurs and attempted only 13 shots in that game. Then, against the Grizzlies, Jokic played 31 minutes and only shot 11 attempts.
Ultimately, he’s scored more than 29 points per game against the Lakers this season. But overall, Jokic has scored 28+ points in only 47% of his games this season and is facing a Lakers team that still ranks 14th in points allowed to centers. I’ll fade Jokic in Game 1. The Triple Double could still get there, but 28 points is asking for a lot.
