NBA PrizePicks Player Props: Player props have grown in popularity, but as the number of gambling-friendly states grows, some people may feel left out.

PrizePicks is the official name of the game.

PrizePicks can be used to efficiently parlay game prop over/unders with cash prizes based on how many you correctly predict on that day’s slate.

A Flex Play or a Power Play are the two options available. Even if you don’t get every choice correct in a Flex Play, you can still earn money. In comparison to a parlay, a Power Play is all or nothing.

This is how I’d approach today’s NBA Playoffs.

NBA PrizePicks Parlay

James Harden Under 2.5 3-Pointers Made

James Harden just had his best postseason performance in a long time. Harden last scored 30 points or more in a game before Game 4 was on June 1st, 2021, against the Boston Celtics. When he scored 31. Harden, on the other hand, has struggled from beyond the arc in the postseason.

In the last 12 games, Harden has hit three or more 3-pointers twice. Harden has only made three or more 3-pointers twice in the postseason’s ten games. On offense, expect the Heat defense to strangle Harden and limit his 3-point shooting in this game. Finally, Harden’s 3-point percentage in this series is only 30.7 percent.

Devin Booker Over 13.5 First-Half Points

In Game 5, expect Devin Booker to score more than 13.5 points in the first half. He’s one of the finest first-quarter scorers in the NBA, and he’s proven it thus far in the playoffs.

Booker is averaging 11.5 points per game in the first quarter, and the Suns have made it a mission to incorporate their All-Star shooting guard early and often. Furthermore, through the first half of the postseason, Booker is averaging 16.5 points per game in home games. Expect the Suns to come out firing after a great first half from Booker.

Jimmy Butler, Over 1.5 Steals (-160)

On Tuesday night in NBA Miami, the Philadelphia 76ers face the Miami Heat in Game 5. By far the best player in the series has been Jimmy Butler (for all four games). Butler has been as impressive on both the offensive and defensive ends of the court.

NBA Butler’s defense has been wreaking havoc, with at least two steals in each of the playoff games thus far. Since joining the Heat, Butler has played the 76ers eight times during the regular season. At least two steals in six of those games.

This prop is a little steep at -160, but I’m willing to take a chance on a player prop that has hit in every playoff game.
