Best NBA player prop bet: Franz Wagner (ORL) Over 7.5 rebounds + assists (-115)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
Franz Wagner went down late in the Magic’s play-in loss versus the 76ers with the game in hand. There was concern he would be limited in the future if the Magic advanced, but Wagner has shown no signs of being limited. He was in line to play the whole fourth quarter in Game 2, but the Magic pulled starters with 3 minutes left due to a blowout. He recorded just 1 assist but had 8 opportunities, as the Magic shot 33 percent from the field. I expect positive regression with Orlando back at home, and for Wagner to stuff the stat sheet in the biggest game of the season.

Best NBA player prop bet: Ajay Mitchell (OKC) Over 3.5 assists (-110)
Odds available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing
Ajay Mitchell has taken a massive leap this season, in large part due to Jalen Williams being either out or less than 100 percent with various injuries. He took a backseat after Williams returned. But now with Williams out again, Mitchell will be headlined to step up — especially playing with the second unit when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander heads to the bench. The bench in Game 2 gave the Thunder a jolt after they led by just 1 point after 1 quarter. Mitchell, in particular, recorded 4 points and 2 assists during a 4-minute stretch. With no Williams, expect more usage when Alexander is off the floor and other opportunities when the 2 share court time.
Ajay Mitchell 5+ assists (+200)
Odds available at Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing
We’re climbing the assist ladder at 5+ assists on Bet365 – A price the best on the market and beating DraftKings by nearly 15 cents.
