The National Basketball Association continues its wild run through the playoffs Tuesday with two series tied at 2-2, returning to the top seed’s home court.
The Milwaukee Bucks were bested by Al Horford and the Boston Celtics Sunday, while the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies blew a fourth-quarter lead against the Golden State Warriors and face a 3-1 deficit.
Here are player props to bet on Tuesday night.
Jimmy Butler Over 25.5 Points
Butler scored 33 and 40 points in each of the Miami Heat’s last two games against the Philadelphia 76ers, both ending in losses.
He is a known playoff performer with the ability to raise his game in dire moments, and with his team having allowed the Sixers to claw back to 2-2 from 2-0, he will be looking to assert himself and secure a win.
The Sixers do not have a wing capable of consistently guarding him, and the rest of the Heat players do not seem to care about making perimeter shots, so Butler should get a hefty workload and ultimately go over 25.5.
Jimmy Butler Over 1.5 Threes
Again, Butler has been left to fend for himself in recent games, and he has increased his three-point looks as a result. He is still shooting less than 30% from beyond the arc, but he nailed two triples in his last outing and is averaging 5.5 attempts in his last two games.
The Heat’s catalyst is clutch, so watch for him to make an important three in the fourth to help bring him over the total, which has very positive odds.

Mikal Bridges Under 14.5 Points
Mikal Bridges is the primary defender for the Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic, and his legs have been zapped as a result of exerting himself so heavily on the defensive end.
Bridges is averaging just 10.5 points per game and has not hit over this points total in four games in the ongoing series, so it seems fairly obvious to bet the under.
Jalen Brunson Under 1.5 Threes
Brunson is a downhill threat who is best at getting into the lane and collapsing the defense, allowing him to either navigate for himself or kick the ball out to an open teammate.
He rarely spots up in the corner and waits for the rock to get passed in his direction, nor does he tend to try to create three-point looks off the dribble.
He has also not made more than one three in four games in this series and, when paired with the second unit when Doncic is out of the game, is usually the main facilitator, not a scorer.
Chris Paul Over 8.5 Assists
Paul is coming off of a horrendous outing in Game Four, headlined by the controversy surrounding his family and an unruly Mavericks fan that was ultimately ejected for harassing them.
Paul will be eager to get back on the court and right his wrongs on both sides, and that starts with returning to his usual role as the floor general.
