Today’s Top NBA Player Props | May 1 Playoff Games
Kevin Durant Prop O/U 8.5 Rebounds
Kevin Durant hauled in a monster 14 rebounds in Game 1 against the Denver Nuggets. The books have since overcorrected his rebounding prop by setting the number at 8.5. Durant averaged only 6.7 rebounds per game in the regular season and 7.6 per game in the opening-round series against the Clippers.
NBA Bet Pro recommends shorting Durant. The tool projects him for only 6.8 rebounds tonight, much more in line with this regular-season average. Regression comes for everyone, and betting on it to come for Durant tonight should prove profitable.
The under has an expected win rate of 65%, which is far, far better than the implied odds available at PointsBet (56.5%). Readers eager to find more mispriced props should try a one-week trial of NBA Bet Pro!

Jaylen Brown Prop O/U 2.5 3-Pointers
Will Jaylen Brown get hot from beyond the arc? He is averaging 2.8 3-pointers per game in the playoffs after he averaged 2.4 in the regular season. However, Brown must now face the slow-paced 76ers against whom he averaged only 2 3-pointers per game.
Brown should score only 2.1 3-pointers tonight, per NBA Bet Pro. That’s far more in line with what he averaged against the 76ers in the regular season — and what he averaged during the regular season in general.
The under has an expected win rate of 57%, per NBA Bet Pro. Readers can take advantage of the best deal via PointsBet, which has set the implied odds for the under to only 55.6%. Readers yet to register at PointsBet can get five second-chance bets up to $50 apiece!
