Today’s NBA Prop Bet of the Day
Giannis Antetokounmpo over 7.5 assists @ 20/23
While Damian Lillard is on his way back to fitness for the Milwaukee Bucks, he’s missing game 1 of their series with the Indiana Pacers. That leaves Giannis to do all the heavy lifting. However, the Greek Freak will surely be motivated after missing the Bucks’ previous two postseason runs.
Giannis has stepped into Lillard’s shoes as a creative force. His assist averages jumped from 5.9 at February’s All-Star break to 7.4 per game since. He finished the season with a flourish in that regard, averaging 11.8 assists per game in April. That high won’t hold up long term, but in Lillard’s absence, the Bucks have no option but to play through Giannis.
He’s averaged 7.5 assists in matchups with the Pacers this term. However, that number should jump in their playoff opener.
Giannis has averaged 8.5 assists when playing 40+ minutes this season. He’s featured for at least 40 minutes in five of his last six playoff appearances, excluding one which ended early due to injury. This is a massive game for a player who is enjoying his most productive season so far. Back him to return to the playoffs with a dominant display.
Bonus NBA prop pick – Giannis Antetokounmpo 10+ assists @ 27/10
Giannis has hit double-figures for assists in five of his last six games, recording 15 against the Detroit Pistons in his last game. He’ll be central to everything the Bucks are looking to do in this game, so his price for 10 or more assists is also worth considering.
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.
