After Minnesota, Denver, and Oklahoma City punched their ticket to the NBA Western Conference semi-finals with victories the past two days, it’s the Eastern Conference’s teams taking center stage tonight.
Both New York and Indiana have 3-1 leads over Philadelphia and Milwaukee, respectively. Orlando and Cleveland are knotted at 2-2 heading into the pivotal game five.
What players should bettors observe for tonight’s contests? We’ll cover our top six NBA Playoff player prop bets for Tuesday, April 30 below.
Live player props data coming soon for Joel Embiid.
Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid UNDER 10.5 Rebounds
In five games against the Knicks this season, Philly center Joel Embiid has yet to cover this player prop bet. For the series, he’s averaging 9.0 rebounds and captured 10 rebounds in two games.
Expect New York to continue cleaning the glass defensively and offensively, holding Embiid to 10 or fewer rebounds Tuesday night.
| Player | Prop | Price |
|---|
| Jalen Brunson | Over 6.5 Assists | |
| Jalen Brunson | Under 6.5 Assists | |
New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson OVER 7.5 Assists
In eight games this season, Knicks guard Jalen Brunson has recorded double figure assists three times. He has three other games with 8-9 assists.
Brunson is sure to hover around the 8.5-assist mark for the night, and with a banged-up knee, expect the guard to continue passing first to create shots for other teammates and cover this player assist prop bet.
Live player props data coming soon for Jonathan Issac.
Orlando Magic’s Jonathan Isaac OVER 1.5 3-Point Field Goals
In the regular season, Orlando forward Jonathan Isaac was anemic from behind the three-point line against the Cavaliers. In the postseason, however, Isaac’s shot has come alive.
He’s finished with at least two 3-point field goals in three of the team’s four contests thus far. Expect his shooting streak to continue Tuesday as Issac easily covers this player prop bet.
Live player props data coming soon for Donovan Mitchell.
Cleveland Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell OVER 34.5 Pts + Reb + Ast
In three home games (including one regular season contest) against Orlando, Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell has surpassed this player combo prop bet. Tonight’s matchup takes place in Cleveland, giving bettors confidence Mitchell will have more than 35 total points, rebounds, and assists against the Magic.
| Player | Prop | Price |
|---|
| Pascal Siakam | Over 21.5 Points | |
| Pascal Siakam | Under 21.5 Points | |
Indiana Pacers’ Pascal Siakam UNDER 23.5 Points
After exploding for back-to-back 35+ points in the series-opening contests, Indiana forward Pascal Siakam has been held in check in games 3 and 4. The seven-year vet has scored 30 points combined in his team’s two wins at home.
With the series returning to Milwaukee, expect the Bucks to continue slowing down Siakam Tuesday night and hold him under 23.5 points.
Live player props data coming soon for Bobby Portis.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Bobby Portis UNDER 12.5 Rebounds
Without star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks forward Bobby Portis has been gobbling up rebounds for Milwaukee. Only once in the two teams' nine contests this year did Portis exceed this significantly high player prop bet.
Take the trend – even with Giannis in the lineup – and bet the under on this elevated NBA player rebound prop bet.
