The 2022 NBA Playoffs are finally starting to produce a path to the championship for teams in both conferences as matchups heat up and series advance towards the elimination stage.
The Miami Heat booked their ticket to the second round, joining the Boston Celtics as the only two teams to successfully get out of the first round thus far, while the Philadelphia 76ers are slowly progressing towards one of the worst choke jobs in league history.
Wednesday night is all about the players, though — here are the best props to bet for the midweek action.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 13.5 Rebounds
Giannis is averaging 14.5 rebounds per game in these playoffs, building on postseason averages of 12.8 and 13.8 from two years prior; he has also gone over this total in three out of four games in his Milwaukee Bucks’ series against the Chicago Bulls, securing 17, 18, and 16-rebound games.
The “Greek Freak” also has increased responsibility on the boards because of an injury to teammate Khris Middleton, and on top of that, he figures to see more action because of the change in the rotation caused by his co-star’s absence.
The Bulls will also be without Zach LaVine, which means that one of Coby White or Ayo Dosunmu figures to be inserted into the starting lineup; since both are worse shooters than LaVine, this should lead to more missed shots and rebound opportunities, especially long rebounds which fall to players not always camped under the rim, meaning that Giannis has an even better chance of hitting his rebound total.
Andrew Wiggins Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made
Wiggins was a much-improved three-point shooter this year, making over 39% of his long-range attempts, which has grown to 50% in the playoffs.
Wiggins will benefit from the constant mismatches, switches, and recoveries in the Denver Nuggets’ defense, caused by Nikola Jokic getting switched onto Golden State’s guards, and should find himself free for at least a few good looks at the cup.
He has made two threes in two of the four games in the series, and because most sportsbooks are offering this prop at positive odds, it is too good to pass up.

Draymond Green Over 7.5 Rebounds
Nuggets vs. Warriors Predictions
Draymond Green has the sole responsibility of sticking to Nikola Jokic on the defensive end and making life as hard as he possibly can for him.
He has only gone over this total once in the series, but that was in the most recent outing, and he has been increasingly asserting himself in the series.
Watch for Green to go over as the Warriors close out the series on their home court.
Jrue Holiday Over 3 Three-Pointers Made
Jrue Holiday has become the secondary scorer without Middleton in the lineup, and he just made five of eight three-point attempts in his last outing.
He has a tendency to take too many threes sometimes, and although this may be bad purely from a “winning basketball” standpoint, it is great for prop bettors.
Chicago’s defense will be keyed in on Giannis and looking for anyone else to beat them, so Holiday is set up for a great night.
