There are 2 games to place wagers on Wednesday night in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Milwaukee Bucks host the Chicago Bulls in Game 5 and can end the series with a win. The Golden State Warriors can also end the series at home against the Denver Nuggets in Game 5. Keep an eye on Grayson Allen props, which aren’t available as of publishing. 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 95-70-1 for the season. Without further ado, here are my player props picks for tonight.
Klay Thompson over 3.5 three-pointers (-149 on Caesars)
Thompson has looked like his pre-serious injury self since late March. Thompson’s shooting from three-point range has been excellent and with Jordan Poole becoming a force for Golden State, it has opened up better looks for Thompson. He has hit 5, 3, 6 and 7 three-pointers in the 4 games of the series and is averaging 10.5 attempts per game. The Warriors guard is shooting 49.3 percent from three-point range in the series. He has gone over this total in 9 of the last 12 games. It’s a good idea to even look at better odds for 4+ or 5+ three-pointers, too.
Patrick Williams over 16.5 points+rebounds (-115 on BetMGM)
Williams has played at least 30 minutes in the last 3 games and Williams will be needed more with Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso out. The Bucks are favored by 12 and even if there is a blowout, Williams should stay on the floor as the Bulls let the young players stay on the floor. Williams had 10 points and 9 rebounds in Game 2, 1 point and 4 rebounds in Game 3 and 20 points and 10 rebounds in Game 4. Williams has gone over this in 7 of the last 10 games, which was the start of when Williams played at least 30 minutes for the first time since returning from injury in March.
