There’s no better feeling than betting on the NBA Playoffs.
It’s finally time. This year, it’s a toss-up on who will win the NBA Playoffs. You can ask five people on the street, and they’ll all give you a different team that will win it all. That kind of parity is excellent for the league.
I’ve added four player props that I’m confident in for the first day of the NBA Playoffs. Let’s get after it.
Like every PrizePicks article, we’ll give out our four-player props from PrizePicks that you can pair to have a four-leg Entry Power Play. A tw0-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.
However, 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. So we’ll stick to four-leg entries moving forward.
Remember that a Flex play can still win if one pick misses, but you’d get lower payouts.

Saturday’s Best PrizePicks Player Predictions
Here are my favorite PrizePicks props for Saturday.
The 76ers and Nets will begin the NBA Playoffs with a 1:00 pm ET tip-off today.
Tyrese Maxey could be the x-factor for this series. He’s added 20.3 points per game this season but has hit at least 20 in 55% of games this year.
Recently. he’s been dominant, adding 20 or more points in eight of his last ten games. But in his last game against the Celtics, he played 40 minutes and took just eight shots. His volume will be a lot higher than it was against Boston. For example, he averaged nearly 15 shots per game in March and scored 22.7 points per game in that month.
That’ll be more like him today.
Okongwu isn’t your household name. But he’s been earning enough points on the bench. He’s coming off a 12-point performance against the Heat in the Play-In game and averaged 10.2 points in five regular season games in April.
He’s hit this number in nine of his last ten games and 80% of his last 20 games. He’s one of the more reliable players on the bench for Atlanta.
Caris LeVert Over 11.5 Points
Caris LeVert isn’t even close to being a leading scorer for the Cavaliers. But he’s averaged 12.1 points per game this season. He’s also hit 12 or more points in eight of his last ten games. He’s attempted ten or more shots in his last three games and is earning over 30 minutes a night for the Cavaliers.
If he takes ten shots, six of them being from downtown, he should be able to get to 12 or more points.
Kuminga has scored 15 points in each of his last two games. That’s going to help him earn extra minutes in the postseason. He’s averaging a little over 20 minutes a game recently but has shot nearly 59% from the field and 62.5% from three. He’s not going to take a ton of threes, but he’s a capable shooter. One made three and a few buckets around the rim would be all it’ll take.
