3 NBA Player Props for Friday, May 3: What Role Will Wagner Play in Game 6?

Anyone else stay up late watching the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks game? Even though it only went to six games, that was an awesome series. Both teams gave it their all, but the Knicks ultimately came out on top, winning the series, 4-2.

We’re hoping for two great games tonight, giving NBA fans something to get excited about. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic have the first game of the night, and the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers will directly follow it.

We’re pretty excited to see how it’ll play out, and as a result, we’ve put together a few player props for tonight’s action. Take a look at our plays below, all of which are found on Underdog!

Donovan Mitchell UNDER 24.5 Points

Okay, we officially can’t trust Donovan Mitchell. While he scored 28 points in Game 5 of the series, he scored 18, 13, and 23 points in the previous three games.

Mitchell has been incredibly inconsistent this series, and in a must-win game, we simply can’t trust him to have a big game, which is why we’re taking the under on his point total.

Franz Wagner OVER 10.5 Rebounds & Assists

This has been one of our favorite player props all year. Franz Wagner isn’t necessarily the biggest scoring threat on the Magic, but he is a great distributor and a dominant force on the glass.

He has had at least 12 RA in two of the last three games, and he had 11 RA in Game 5. With that in mind, we project Wagner to come to play tonight, hopefully hitting the over here with ease.

Luka Doncic OVER 9.5 Assists

We took this stat in Game 5 when it was at 9, and we’re confident enough in Luka Doncic to take the over on 9.5 assists tonight. Luka is certainly a threat to put up 30+ points every night, but he is also consistent when it comes to his assist efforts.

Kyrie Irving has continued to play well to help support Luka, and if he scores a lot tonight, chances are, he’ll get a few sweet assists from his star teammate.
