There are 3 games to place wagers on Monday night in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Brooklyn Nets hope to avoid being swept by the Boston Celtics. The Philadelphia 76ers are at home against the Toronto Raptors and can close out the series with a win. The Dallas Mavericks host the Utah Jazz in the final game of the night with the series tied at 2.
Bets may be added throughout the day if additional spots that arise, so be sure to check back later in the day. My record is 94-69-1 for the season. Here are my player props picks for tonight.
Tobias Harris (PHI) Over 7.5 rebounds (-120 on Caesars)
Harris has been a force on the boards in this series. He is averaging 9.8 rebounds in the 4 games. He had 7 rebounds in the first half on Saturday and finished with 11 rebounds. After recording 6 rebounds in Game 1, Harris has 10, 12 and 11 rebounds over the last 3 games. He had 13, 20, 19 and 17 rebound chances in those contests while logging 37, 39, 47 and 41 minutes. Joel Embiid is dealing with a torn ligament in his thumb and only had 8 rebounds in Game 4; is likely to be less aggressive on the boards.
Reggie Bullock (DAL) Over 2.5 three-pointers (-135 on DraftKings)
Bullock is playing almost the entire game with minutes of 44, 45, 44 and 46. While he doesn’t shoot often, when he takes shots they are mostly from three-point range. Of his 32 shots in the series, 27 have been from beyond the arc. Bullock has hit three treys in each of the first 4 games. With Luka Doncic back in Game 4, Bullock went 3-for-8 from three-point range. He is shooting 46.8 percent from long distance in the series and Doncic only helps create more open looks. The Mavericks are averaging 21 open three-pointers per game in the series as the Jazz are struggling to defend from deep.
