The NBA Play-In Tournament begins tonight, and we have two tremendous games. The sides could be difficult to pick, which is where player props come in handy.

Best NBA Bookies

Player props have been great for us all season. Therefore, we are going to keep hammering the props down the stretch.

Throughout the two games, you should take a few risks. Although, you should also have some solid plays to mix in with your lottery bets. Here are my best NBA player props for Tuesday, April 12.

Kevin Durant Over 31.5 Points

Cavaliers vs. Nets Prediction

The Nets are one of the most shakiest teams in the NBA. However, they play very well down the stretch of games. If Brooklyn is clicking, they are very hard to stop.

The person at the center of the attention is Kevin Durant. Durant is arguably the best player in the league, and he can do it all.

In three games this season against Cleveland, he has scored 28.7 PPG. Additionally, he has shot 50.9% from the field. If anyone has a huge night, it will be Durant for the Nets.

NBA Playoffs Odds

Andre Drummond Over 11.5 Rebounds

Andre Drummond is a beast on the glass. I do not trust him to score, but I like him to grab some rebounds in this contest.

His total is set at 11.5, which is relatively high. He is averaging 9.3 per game, which is 17th in the league.

However, he has come alive in the second half of the season. He is averaging 11.3 RPG in his last ten and boxing out very well.

Drummond has been money for us down the stretch. He has gone over this total in two straight games, totaling 25 rebounds.

Darius Garland Under 25.5 Points

Darius Garland is one of the best players on the Cavaliers. However, if Brooklyn comes to play tonight, he should be limited.

Garland is averaging 21.7 PPG with the ability to pop off at any time. In four games against Brooklyn, he is averaging 25.3 PPG.

His numbers are down on the road, which is a concern. This is especially true if the Nets feed off the home crowd. I am going to take the under on his point total.

NBA Playoffs Picks

Karl-Anthony Towns First Scorer +360

The second game of the night will feature the Clippers and Timberwolves. I believe the Clippers will have a strong night.

Yet, Karl-Anthony Towns is going to be tough to stop. I like him to score the first basket for a variety of reasons.

Towns can shoot the ball but also is dominant in the paint. This means he has chances to shoot first and also get a put-back off a miss.

Paul George Top Points Scorer +115

Clippers vs. Timberwolves Prediction

Paul George must control the game for the Clippers to have a chance. Without George scoring, the Timberwolves will roll. The shooting guard is tied for fourth in the NBA with 24.3 PPG this season.

I expect him to come out firing. In three games against Minnesota, he is averaging 25.3 PPG. If he replicates this, he will lead the game in scoring.
