Yesterday’s action in the NBA may have saved the first round. The Hawks and Timberwolves evened up their respective series, while the Cavaliers took both games at home to take a 2-0 lead against the Raptors.

Best NBA player prop bet: Dylan Harper (SA) Under 15.5 points + rebounds + assists (-115)
Odds available at BetMGM at time of publishing
The Spurs’ backcourt of D’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle was masterful in Game 1 alongside Victor Wembanyama. Fox and Castle played 34 and 32 minutes, while Dylan Harper — our top fade on the Tuesday slate — played 23 minutes. In Game 1, Harper shared the floor with either Fox or Castle for all 5 of his stints — limiting his usage to 16%. BetMGM is offering the best price at -110. Play this down to -120 and -125 on Caesars and DraftKings.

Best NBA player prop bet: Paul George (PHI) Over 8.5 rebounds + assists (-110)
Odds available at bet365 at time of publishing.
Paul George burned us in Game 1, as the 76ers were laughed out of the building. George played just 28 minutes and didn’t return to the court after exiting with 3 minutes left in the third quarter — not surprising since they were down by 30 points. He was clearly the #2 option in the offense with Tyrese Maxey struggling and Kelly Oubre Jr. missing a handful of wide-open 3-pointers. Nonetheless, we’re banking on positive regression on a rebounding and playmaking standpoint from George. His points + rebounds + assists prop is not a bad pivot. This game getting out of hand is a concern, but I expect 35 minutes from him. Bet365 and BetMGM have the best prices on the market at -110, while sharper books like FanDuel are down to -138.
