Best NBA Player Prop For Wednesday, April 13th: Can Ausar Thompson Stay Out Of Foul Trouble Early?

1u – Ausar Thompson o1.5 1Q Points (-121 @ Caesars)

Ausar has hit this line in 8/11 games in the playoffs and his defensive duties will be needed against Mitchell after his incredible second half in Game 4. Ausar knows him being on the court is detrimental to the Pistons success so I expect him to make less gambles defensively that could lead to fouls. In turn, Ausar should see 8+ 1Q minutes. If this man cannot score one bucket in all that time then I can live with the result, but with that many possessions I think Cade will take enough gravity to give Ausar at least open one lane to the basket. In Game 2 we saw Ausar explode for 8 early points so we know he’s more than capable of putting the ball in the hole at the basket. Lets roll!
