There’s no better time to bet on basketball than the NBA playoffs. Stars up their minutes, coaches cut their rotations to keep their biggest names on the court, and the playoff series format guarantees repeat match-ups. That allows us to take advantage of potential mismatches and find the best value player props.
We’ll be providing you with daily NBA player prop bets throughout the 2025 playoffs, with expert analysis and breakdowns for each selection!

Today’s NBA Prop Bet of the Day
Isaiah Hartenstein over 9.5 rebounds at 10/11
Hartenstein has been the leading rebounder in the previous three meetings between these sides, posting 11, 14, and 15 rebounds across those clashes with the Grizzlies.
Over the course of the season, Hartenstein has averaged 10.7 rebounds per game, which is enough to clear this line. However, his averages jump when he has had 3+ days of rest, while he’s recorded a massive 12.7 rebounds per game in which he has played at least 30 minutes.
Bonus NBA Prop Bets
Cole Anthony over 10.5 combined points and rebounds at evens
Anthony enjoyed his clashes with the Celtics this season, averaging 17 points per game. He led the team in scoring with 23 points in their single visit to Boston this term, while the guard was on a heater in the Play-In victory over Atlanta with 26 points and three rebounds.
His regular season averages were 9.4 points per game and 3 rebounds, so this seems like a solid line given that he approaches the match following a breakout display. The Magic lack point guard depth, so Anthony should get an extended run, which can help him hit this tally.
Max Strus over 8.5 points at 4/5
Strus has averaged 9.5 points across two meetings with his former team in the regular season and he can be a problem for Miami in Sunday’s Game 1.
Strus hit 19 points in his final regular season display and he averaged 9.5 points per game during last season’s playoff run. He has also averaged 9.5 points per game across 55 career playoff games, so he can match this line on Sunday night.

What are NBA Player Props?
In addition to betting on games, which we cover in our daily NBA tips, player props allow you to predict how a player will perform in individual stat categories. The most popular bets tend to be over/under player props, which mostly revolve around points, rebounds and assists.
NBA prop lines appear a little after the main moneyline and spread odds. These are often linked to player stat lines from the regular season. Our NBA playoff betting strategy is focused on finding favourable matchups or increased minutes, which can help players to hit the over.
When will the NBA prop bet of the day be posted?
With the playoffs running almost daily from now until June, our daily NBA props will go live each afternoon in the UK. We aim to have our best NBA prop bet for tonight’s playoff games live well before the action tips off.
Underrated NBA playoff prop markets
The most popular NBA prop bets tend to be based around points + rebounds + assists (PRA). However, betting markets for player stats extend far beyond that. Throughout the NBA playoffs, you’ll find prop lines on other markets like threes made, steals, blocks and even turnovers.

NBA Prop Betting Tips for the Playoffs
There’s little doubt that the game changes from the regular season to the playoffs, which is something to consider for your NBA playoff prop picks. Teams shorten their rotations, cutting opportunities for players further down the roster. Stars have the ball in their hands much more, while the prospect of a seven-game series opens up an opportunity to bet focused on matchups between the two teams.
