We went 2-1 with our NBA props on Saturday, which cashed our Flex Play. We came oh so close to cashing our Power Play as well. D'Angelo Russell scored 17 points to bust our Under 15.5 prop on him.
Thankfully, Austin Reaves easily went over his rebounding total. Gabe Vincent also stayed under 2.5 rebounds to put us into the money. Let's see if we can string together a winning streak.
Monday's NBA Playoffs schedule only gives us 2 games to enjoy. However, both should be highly entertaining. The Bucks will face the Heat at 7:30 Eastern, while the Grizzlies will take on the Lakers in the late 10 PM tip. Both games can be see on TNT.
Let's keep things rolling with 3 NBA props for Monday, April 24. Best of luck with your action!
Ja Morant UNDER 3.5 Turnovers
Morant can be too erratic with the ball at times, but this number looks to be a shade too high. The former Murray State star averaged 3.4 turnovers per game during the regular season. That being said, we don't see this Lakers defense forcing many turnovers tonight.
Los Angeles doesn't play an aggressive style of defense. The Lakers only ranked 26th in opponent turnovers per game during the regular season. They also ranked 26th in steals per game.
We like that Caesars is pricing this Under at -142. That's an indicator that we're on the right side. Let's play the Under and hope that Morant stays under control tonight in LA.
Max Strus OVER 3.5 Rebounds
In the early game, let's roll with Max Strus to go over this rebounding number. The small forward may have only averaged 3.3 rebounds per game during the season, but he's averaging 4.2 per contest over his last 5. He's also averaged 4.7 boards per game in 7 games against the Bucks this year.
Strus is only 6-5, but he has a knack for being around the basketball. This leads to him picking up a lot of loose ball rebounds, which will be in our favor tonight.
BetMGM is juicing the Over at -140. We'll follow their lead and play the Over in this spot.
Bam Adebayo UNDER 9.5 Rebounds
We're assuming that Giannis is going to play tonight, especially since oddsmakers have the Bucks favored by 6 points on the road. If Antetokounmpo does play, it's going to be hard for Adebayo to reach double figures in the rebounding department.
Milwaukee was the top rebounding team in the NBA during the regular season. Miami was only 27th in rebounds per game. Adebayo is averaging 8.3 rebounds per game during the playoffs, which favors an Under tonight in Miami.
In 75 regular season games, Adebayo stayed under this number in 43 of them. He's also stayed under this total in 5 of his last 6 ball games. Let's ride those trends and play the Under!
