Today’s Top NBA Player Prop | May 5 Playoff Games
Al Horford Prop O/U 3.5 Assists
Boston’s Al Horford is known for his smart play, but he isn’t known for his playmaking. Horford averaged 3 assists per game in the regular season and is averaging 3.4 per game in the playoffs — but only 2.5 per game in this series.
Horford should dish out only 2.8 assists tonight, NBA Bet Pro. That gives the under an expected win rate of 66%, better than the implied odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook (66.9%). Bettors yet to register at FanDuel can get $150 in bet credits after placing a $5 wager!

Best NBA Player Prop: Al Horford Under 3.5 Assists -170 at FanDuel
Nikola Jokic Prop O/U 7.5 Assists
The Denver Nuggets haven’t gotten much out of Nikola Jokic in the assist column this series. To be fair, they haven’t needed to — the Nuggets rolled over the Suns in Game 1 and earned a 10-point win in Game 2.
Jokic averaged 9.8 assists per game in the regular season and is averaging 7.9 per game in the playoffs, both of which point to value relative to this number. While he has dished out only 5 assists per game in this series, a bounce-back showing appears likely.
NBA Bet Pro projects Jokic for 9.9 assists tonight, far above the 7.5 the books project him for, giving the under a 57% expected win rate. That’s much better than the odds available at PointsBet (61.1%). Readers yet to register there can get five second-chance bets worth up to $50!
