NBA Player Props Today
Donovan mitchell 30+ Points +142 At Sportsbook
As noted in my Pacers vs Cavaliers series betting preview, Donovan Mitchell has scored 30+ points in seven Game 1's in his playoff career, and has a chance to break Michael Jordan's record tonight. Mitchell's averaged a stunning 33.2 points per game in Game 1's in his career.
Mitchell shot 48% from the field and 45% from deep in the first round against Miami. The All-Star scored 30+ points in both Game 1 and versus the Heat while launching an average of 20 shots per game. Look for Mitchell to make his mark early and dominate the Pacers from the jump.
Andrew Nembhard OVER 1.5 Three Pointers +140 At Sportsbook
Nembhard has knocked down at least three three-pointers in three of his past four games. He's had the green light for an Pacers team playing outstanding offense in the postseason. Nembhard's shooting 50% from deep in the playoffs, and will be a consistent threat in Game 1 against Cleveland.
After all, the Cavaliers will likely focus on shutting down Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, opening up plenty of room for Nembhard to go to work.
Moses Moody OVER 9.5 Points +132 At Sportsbook
Moses Moody has quietly become a huge part of the Warriors playoff rotation, playing 25 minutes a night this postseason. Most importantly, Moody scored 25 points in Game 5, and followed that up with 13 in Game 6.
The former Arkansas Razorback has launched nearly nine shots per game, while shooting 41% from deep this series. Moody will be a key x-factor for Golden State in Game 7 as the Rockets focus on shutting down Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler. Golden State's stars gravitas will leave Moody wide open more often than not, making his OVER 9.5 points prop a great bet at +132 odds.
