The NBA Playoffs are in full swing, and anyone thinking these first-round series would be a formality is hugely mistaken. The Lakers hold a 2-0 lead over the Rockets despite being without Luka Doncic, while the 76ers and Trail Blazers earned massive upset wins on the road last night to even up their respective series with the Celtics and Spurs. Will we see more drama tonight? The Magic already earned 1 upset win over the #1-seed Pistons in Game 1 and will look to take total control. Meanwhile, the Suns need to bounce back against the Thunder. I’ve picked out my best NBA player prop bets for Wednesday, April 22. Let’s break it down, while you can also get our expert NBA picks for every matchup throughout the entire postseason.
After a +640 winner on 76ers ML last night, don’t miss our expert’s NBA best bets for both playoff games tonight!
Best NBA player prop bet: Tobias Harris (DET) over 3.5 first-quarter points in Magic vs Pistons (-130)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Tobias Harris played 10 minutes in the first quarter of Game 1 of Magic vs Pistons. He only shot 1-4 from the field, but still ended the quarter with 4 early points. He has shown the ability to cash this without even being particularly efficient. Tobias has to step up as the Robin to Cade Cunningham’s Batman, as Jalen Duren has his struggles with Wendell Carter.
Harris has scored 5, 5 and 7 first-quarter points against Orlando in the regular season and has attempted 4+ field goals in every game. He has a bit of a beef with Paolo Banchero, which should add some extra fuel to the fire. I expect Cade to completely take over the second half of this game, so I love taking the secondary guy to be a solid vet and produce some early scoring. Let’s roll!
