Top NBA Prize Pick Props
Mikal Bridges, Brooklyn Nets (26.5 Points)
Since Bridges joined the Nets at the trade deadline, it has become clear that he is the man in Brooklyn. Since joining the team he has averaged more than 26 points per game compared to 17.2 in Phoenix. In Game 1 of this series, he dropped 30 and we expect his usage rate and minutes to continue at this current rate if the Nets have any chance of beating the 76ers. This is also a guy who isn't likely to be on the right side of a blowout so his 18 shots and four free throws last game is probably his floor for attempts. He has topped this line in seven of his last 10 games; his lowest total was 22.0 during that span. Look for him to continue to fill it up and once again push closer to 30 points in Game 2.
The Pick: More than 26.5 Points
Jarret Allen, Cleveland Cavaliers (10.0 Rebounds)
Allen pulled down 14 boards and played 43 minutes in Game 1 against the Knicks and this looks to be the clear game plan for the Cavs. They are going to play him big minutes and expect him to dominate on the boards which he can and will. Excluding the last game of the regular season when he rested after playing 12 minutes, he hit this line in six of his last eight games. IN games when he's played at least 30 minutes, he's only failed to hit double-digit rebounds once since February 15. Look for this trend to continue tonight.
The Pick: More than 10.0 Rebounds

James Harden, Philadelphia 76ers (10.0 Assists)
Harden has averaged almost 11 assists per game this year which was the most in the league. He will be feeding Embiid and the shooter all night just like he did in Game 1 when he dished out 13 dimes. Excluding the last game of the regular season when he saw his minutes limited, Harden has hit this target in 11 of his last 13 games. As long as the 76ers don't really blow out the Nets this should be easy money. Even if they do there is a good chance he can top this mark. He's been doing it with regularity and we saw how it worked last game. There is no reason for Philly to change what's working.
The Pick: More than 10.0 Assists
Al Horford, Boston Celtics (1.5 Blocks + Steals)
Horford generally gets a few blocks and a steal in most games. We are projecting him for two blocks and a steal in this one just like he got in Game 1. He's a veteran who steps up his defense in the playoffs. This is also a line he has topped in nine of his last 14 games. He saw his minutes spike to 38 in Game 1 which is a trend we expect to continue now that the playoffs have begun. At 36 years old it only makes sense that they would try to preserve him for when they need him most in the postseason. This is a number he will top with regularity as long as the Celtics are in the playoffs which will likely be for a while.
The Pick: More than 1.5 Blocks + Steals

Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers (42.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists)
Mitchell might top this line in points alone. He has far surpassed this mark in five straight which includes four 40+ point games and a low of 38 points. The Knicks have had no answer for Spida this season as he's dropped at least 38 on them three times this season including twice in his last four games. His assists have also seen a huge spike against New York. This is an evenly-matched series that could go either way, but the Cavs will continue to ride Mitchell and he will be posting monster numbers whether they win or lose.
The Pick: More than 42.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
De'Aaron Fox, Sacramento Kings (37.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists)
Fox dropped 38 points alone in Game 1 and we don't anticipate the Warriors having any answers for him moving forward. He played 40 minutes and took 27 shots with 12 free throws on Saturday. His usage rate isn't going to significantly decrease so this number is way too low. It will adjust as we move forward. The Warriors also don't defend at all on the road so there is no reason to believe they have a chance of slowing him down in Sacramento. Even if they do adjust and bring help his assists will spike. It would be shocking if he doesn't hit this number tonight.
The Pick: More than 37.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
