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
Pascal Siakam 20+ points at 10/13
Pascal Siakam had 25 points in the win over Milwaukee on Saturday, with the Bucks continuing to be one of his favourite opponents. The Bucks lack a defender who can guard against him, while he’s ageing into an impressive shot-maker.
Siakam has scored at least 20 points in all five meetings with the Bucks this season, scoring 25 or more on four occasions. His big display in Game 1 was in line with his regular-season metrics, which points to the Bucks’ inability to contain him.
Siakam has averaged 21.8 points per game across his playoff appearances with Indiana, so back him to record another 20-point game.
Rudy Gobert under 11.5 rebounds at 10/13
Gobert will be the biggest player on the court throughout this series, which leads to a big rebounding line. However, he’ll be on the court less often against the Lakers due to the threat of Luka Doncic.
Doncic hunts out Gobert, as seen in that late winner in last season’s conference finals. The Frenchman featured for just 24 minutes in Game 1. The Timberwolves’ victory in LA leaves them with little reason to switch from that approach.
Gobert averaged 10.9 rebounds per game through the first two rounds last season. That dropped to 7.6 per game against Doncic’s Mavericks in the conference finals, while he finished with just six on Saturday. He hasn’t cleared 10 rebounds in any of his previous seven playoff games.
Not only is Gobert sitting out more, his rebounding percentages dipped during the time he was on the court. As a result, it’s worth taking the under on this line.
Wednesday’s Player Prop
Duncan Robinson over 0.5 turnovers at 11/10
Robinson turned the ball over at least once in 53 of his 74 appearances for Miami in the regular season, while he recorded two turnovers in Saturday’s opening game of the series.
Miami lost that first game based on their three-point volume, so there’s a good chance that Robinson spends more time on the court in Game 2.
Robinson has turned the ball over at a consistent rate as both a starter and a substitute. He’s now recorded eight turnovers across four meetings with Cleveland this season.
The guard has recorded at least one turnover in each of his last seven playoff appearances where he’s featured for at least three minutes. Miami’s lack of a true point guard puts their players in uncomfortable positions on the ball, leading to turnovers.
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.
