Top 2 NBA Player Prop Odds & Bets for Tuesday, May 3 (2022)
Here's a look at our favorite prop bets for today's NBA Playoff games.
Robert Williams OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-118)
Robert Williams is back and looks healthy. I believe Boston will need him at his best tonight and his minutes will get back to normal. This is the definition of a must-win game for the Celtics. Can’t see them coming back from 0-2 and going on the road. I’m not worried about the decrease of his stats in L5, because he averaged 20mpg in that span. For the season he played around 30 minutes per game and averaged 9.4rpg. Against Milwaukee, he had 10. 7, 14, and 8 in 22 minutes in Game 1. The Bucks are 15th in rebounds allowed and 18th in defensive rebounds allowed. It’s enough for me, even to sprinkle a double-double.
Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 6.5 Assists (-125)
I was struggling to decide between RA or assist only and the line dropped a bit, but it’s still worth it. He is coming off a triple-double with 12 assists in Game 1. That was my doubt – am I overreacting to only one game. I don’t think I am. He is averaging 8apg in L5, all in the playoffs. In those types of games, the teams build a wall trying to stop him from dropping 40, but the reality is Giannis is a very good passer for his size and an underrated playmaker overall. He shot poorly in Game 1 – 9/25 from the field – but had 16 potential assists and almost all of them are to a wide-open man. Even though it will be hard for his teammates to sustain the efficiency of his passes, they should still be able to shoot around 50% from wide-open positions. Seven of his 12 assists were for 3-pointers so I believe this will be a key part of Budenholzer’s gameplan.
