Two great NBA playoff games are on the docket this Wednesday. Let’s take a look at some player props!
Bam Adebayo Over 19.5 Points
Bam Adebayo carried the Miami Heat in Game 1, as he put up 24 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Adebayo tends to do well against slow-footed centers, which is a problem the Philadelphia 76ers are facing with DeAndre Jordan manning down the middle.
Adebayo just has the strength, lateral ability, and finesse to put up big scoring performances like this one, so with him having the ideal matchup going into Game 2, expect him to carry that momentum and hit the over yet again.
Luka Doncic Over 33.5 Points
Luka Doncic went off for 45 points on 15-of-30 shooting in Game 1, as the Dallas Mavericks struggled to get contributions in the scoring department from other players they generally rely on to score the ball.
Doncic isn’t fazed with what the defense throws at him, and while he’s not the most athletic player, he has all the tools he needs in his box to get the ball in the basket.
With the Mavs needing a huge performance from Doncic if they hope to even up the series against the Phoenix Suns, expect Doncic to go off and hit the over.

Devin Booker Over 26.5 Points
Devin Booker had 23 points on 8-of-20 shooting in Game 1. That’s not the most efficient game he could’ve ever had, but he’s still working his way back from a hamstring strain.
With that said, Booker is still putting up a high volume of shots, and as he starts to get his game back, those shots will start to fall once again.
Booker can heat up like a microwave, so expect him to score the few extra points in Game 2 to hit the over in this one.
James Harden Under 23.5 Points
James Harden is not the same player he was when he was with the Houston Rockets. It’s as simple as that.
He had just 16 points in Game 1 and attempted just 13 shots while getting to the free-throw line just four times.
His aggressiveness is no longer there, which was a huge part of the reason how he used to average over 36 points per game.
Expect Harden to defer to his teammates in this one and serve as more of a playmaker, which will ultimately keep his point total under this spread.
Deandre Ayton Over 19.5 Points
Mavericks vs. Suns Predictions
Deandre Ayton had a very good Game 1, as he went off for 25 points on 12-of-20 shooting.
The Mavs don’t have the size to contain Ayton with his ability to post people up and score the basketball.
Ayton is the back to the basket type of center who has a lot of hook shots in his arsenal and can also use his body to create easy looks at the rim.
Expect Ayton to take advantage of that again and hit the over.
