The playoffs have not been my friend on the player prop front. Back-to-back reverse sweeps have taken place in the last couple of articles, which just means I’m due, right? I just asked my magic 8-ball and it said yes, so without further adieu…
Here are the best PrizePicks plays for NBA action on Wednesday, April 19.
Wednesday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
This Season: 28-32
The Joker had 14 boards and six assists in just 28 minutes in Game 1. As long as this doesn’t turn into another blowout, he should be able to find the over at home. He averaged 13.1 RPG and 11.1 APG in Denver on the season and had a triple-double in 21/35 (60%) of those games.

Wednesday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions

The Timberwolves consistently played at a fast rate throughout the season too, ranking 7th in Pace. This should give Jokic plenty of rebounding and dishing opportunities. He cleared this in 2/3 games against the Wolves in the regular season averaging 22.7 R+A per game with two triple-doubles. I also took him to record a triple-double at +210 over at DraftKings, considering this was priced closer to -115 at times during the season.
Khris Middleton Over 23.5 Points
At the time of this writing, Giannis is doubtful to play, and stepping up in his stead last game on the scoring front was none other than Khris Middleton. He led the Bucks with 33 points and shot 12-20 from the floor. As long as the Greek Freak is out, Middleton should be commanding the lion’s share of the shooting work.
Someone is going to have to fill in for Tyler Herro’s broken hand, and Max Strus looks like a solid option to be that guy. In 15 games without Herro available this year, Strus cleared this line in 10 while averaging 22.9 PRA per game. He just played 38 minutes in Game 1, and with that kind of time on the floor, he should be able to get over this mark.
The books definitely think he will. He is listed at -145 over at DraftKings for this prop. Strus shot lights out against the Bulls a couple of days back as well. Maybe he catches lightning in a bottle again and gets over this by the end of the first half.
