Top NBA Prize Pick Props
LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers (41.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists)
We were stuck once again picking between whether we wanted to go with AD or LeBron for this combo stat and we went with The Chosen One. Both could easily get there, but there is one thing we saw in Game 1 that really swung it in the King's favor for us. He is playing with ferocity and going after rebounds. If he is playing like that it's going to be really tough to keep him from pushing close to a triple-double. The guy has been getting 20+ points in his sleep for two decades and we know he's going to be distributing to that supporting cast we saw in Game 1. So, if you add him grabbing all the extra rebounds with that playoff effort, this should be easy for him. He's also a bully and with Ja Morant likely out or limited tonight it could be a long night for the Grizz. Even if the Lakers are up big we expect LeBron to reallyn pile it on with deep threes and behind-the-back passes. We all heard what Dillon Brooks said, don't think such treason against the crown will go unpunished.
The Pick: More than 41.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Jrue Holiday, Milwaukee Bucks (20.5 Points)
The last we heard was that Giannis was doubtful for Game 2. Someone else has to take over and we've seen Jrue do this many times in the past. He's a seasoned vet who shows up in the big moments when he's called upon. This is a huge moment to prevent the Bucks from going down 0-2 at home before heading to Miami with a beat-up superstar whose health is in question. Also, in 11 games with Giannis off the court this year, Holiday has seen his PPG jump almost four points per game up to 22.6. There are a few options we can go with to make up for the lost production, but we've opted for their underrated point guard.
The Pick: More than 20.5 Points

Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets (12.0 Rebounds)
The Timber Wolves are soft and Jokic is taking full advantage. In Game 1, Jokic pulled down 14 rebounds and he only had to play 28 minutes because the Nuggets were blowing them out. If this game is competitive at all, Jokic will be on the court for 10 more minutes. He has faced off with Minnesota four times this season and has reached this number in three of those games. This is the playoffs and he knows he has to make a statement this year. MVPs are great and all, but it's time for him to put his stamp on the playoffs. He will continue to do that tonight against the ultra-soft big-ma duo of Rudy Gobert and Karl Anthony-Towns.
The Pick: More than 12.0 Rebounds
James Harden, Philadelphia 76ers (9.5 Assists)
This stat came back to bite us earlier in the week, but we trust the process and believe the last game was a fluke. Harden is still the guy who led the league in assists per game this season with almost 11 and after a poor game in Game 2, this number has dropped. We will take advantage. He's also still the guy that topped this number in 11 of 13 games prior to Game 2 and we still think he'll be feeding Joel Embiid in the paint for easy dimes all night. Our mentality was right, but it just didn't work out. Now we are doubling down on our bet.
The Pick: More than 9.5 Assists
Austin Reaves, Los Angeles Lakers (1.5 3-PT Made)
Reaves put on a show in Game 1 and it was clear that he was feeling himself. The Lakers as a unit have full confidence in him and he's become a key closer late in games. We expect him to build off that last game and continue to shoot. The opportunity will be there and he's given us no reason to doubt him. Over his last five games, he's taken 26 threes with his lowest total being four and his high being seven. Last game he took five. We fully expect him to take at least four threes in this game and probably more. It just becomes a matter of betting on him to make at least two and we think he will. He has in four of those five games.
The Pick: More than 1.5 3-PT Made
