Both games tonight are tied 2-2 with the higher seeds heading back home for Game 5. The storyline for the Boston series is whether Harden can put up another historic performance or whether the Celtics can finally close out a game. Over in Denver, the Nuggets head back home, where they were 34-7 straight-up this season. The Suns will be missing Chris Paul once again, which may end up working in their favor if the last two games were more than down to just home-court advantage. Let’s dive into tonight’s best NBA player prop bets, but make sure you also check out our team’s NBA picks for each of today’s games.

Deandre Ayton (PHX) over 8.5 rebounds (-105)

Line available on BetMGM Sportsbook at the time of publishing.

Lord help me, I’m betting Deandre Ayton again. For someone who averaged 10 RPG this season, a line of 8.5 seems an easy bet, but Ayton has been the laughingstock of this series for his lack of effort. Even so, he’s flirted with this line in every game (7, 8, 9, 8). He’s still averaging 11 rebound chances per game on the series and should get back to 30+ minutes being on the road. This is nearly even-money in a game that can give the Suns an edge after falling to 0-2, and I believe Ayton will surprisingly have his best game of the series. I may regret this, but I’m priced in. 0.5U

Celtics ML

7.5-point home favorites. Outside of two historic Harden performances, this Celtics team is simply better from top to bottom. Only miscues come from Joe Mazzula in close games; I do not believe this one is close.
