Player Prop Preview

Giannis Antetokounmpo – Over 30.5 Points

Giannis averaged 30.4 PPG for the regular season and has playoff pedigree. He played Indiana four times this season, scoring 30 or more in three of those contests. Though he had a minor shoulder issue recently, he’s expected to play, and the Bucks will need his full scoring load in a series opener with plenty of pace.

Nikola Jokic – Over 29.5 Points

A threat for a triple-double at all times, Jokic averaged 29.6 PPG this year and is still the pulse of Denver’s offense. Jokic should get open looks against a Clippers defense that can struggle versus mobile bigs. You are starting from scratch now that the first playoff series starts with Denver at home.

Jalen Brunson – Over 25.5 Points

Brunson leads New York into the playoffs as their go-to scorer, averaging 26.0 PPG. The Pistons ranked among the worst defenses in the league and Brunson is poised to take advantage with a high usage rate and plenty of isolation chances. He has gone over this line in 4 of his last 5 games and should do so again.

LeBron James – Over 25.5 Points

Though he’s 40, LeBron still averaged 24.4 PPG on the season and has a knack for rising up in Game 1s. The Lakers are going to need his leadership and scoring to take down a stout Timberwolves squad. With postseason stakes high, look for LeBron to top his regular-season average and get over 25.5.

Final Prediction

Each of the four stars is well-positioned for a high-scoring game given their form, playoff history, and matchup context.

Best Bets:

• Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 30.5 Points

• Nikola Jokic Over 29.5 Points

• Jalen Brunson:  Over 25.5 points.

• LeBron James Over 25.5 Points

Expect the stars to shine early — tail the overs.
