NBA Betting Prediction: NBA Player Props | June 14

Tobias Harris Over 7.5 Rebounds (BetMGM)

After being shocked on their home floor in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the 76ers returned the favor to the Hawks in Game 3. Each of the big names for Philadelphia stepped up on Friday, including Harris. He complemented his 22-point outing with eight rebounds and five assists. For a player who averaged 6.8 boards per game on the season, this marked the sixth time this postseason in which he eclipsed that. Bettors can find plus-money odds on the over for tonight’s NBA player props line of 7.5 rebounds for Harris.

As alluded to above, only on two occasions this postseason has Harris failed to go over his season rebounding average. He has also cleared the line of 7.5 in six playoff games as well. He has three double-digit rebounding games to his name. They include Game 1 of the Sixers’ Round 2 series against the Hawks. With Joel Embiid officially designated as questionable, other players need to be prepared to hit the glass hard for Philadelphia tonight. Harris has done so throughout the postseason, and plus-money odds on him to continue make for a worthwhile prediction.

Bojan Bogdanovic Under 17.5 Points (DraftKings)

The regular season was a bit of a disappointment for Bogdanovic. For the most part in the playoffs, he has been able to put an inconsistent year behind him. Prior to Saturday’s Game 3 loss, Bogdanovic had scored in double figures in all seven of Utah’s postseason games. Such was not the case in this latest outing, as he shot just 2-for-10 from the field (1 of 5 from beyond the arc) to finish with 9 points. The NBA betting odds are predicted a bounce-back game for Bogdanovic tonight. However, the play is to go the opposite direction.

Tonight’s betting line of 17.5 total points is half a point more than the 17 Bogdanovic averaged for the season. While he has been consistently scoring in double digits during the playoffs, Bogdanovic has fallen short of 17.5 points in five of eight games thus far. The Awesemo NBA Player Props Tool is all in on taking this prop to go under. In fact, the 25% expected ROI outlined by the tool earlier in the day has only increased as the betting odds have shifted into plus-money territory. The Clippers played inspired defense in Game 3. This likely will continue tonight as they try to even up this series on their home floor. That narrative only serves as added reason to fade Bogdanovic.

Kawhi Leonard Over 1.5 Steals (BetMGM)

After suggesting in his comments after Game 2 that the Clippers had plenty of fight left in them, Leonard went out and backed it up on Saturday. He was everywhere, totaling 34 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and a pair of steals. Leonard has taken his game far beyond that of a lockdown defender. Nonetheless, his contributions on the defensive end remain critical to the Clippers’ quest of getting back in the series. Looking at what Leonard has done defensively throughout the postseason, the plus-money odds on him to go over 1.5 total steals this evening make for an interesting pick.

Few players are capable of averaging the 1.6 steals per game over a full season that Leonard did this year. He has turned things up a notch in the playoffs. Coming into tonight’s Game 4 matchup, Leonard has totaled multiple steals in seven of the Clippers’ 10 postseason games to date. This includes two total steals in each of the last two games in this Round 2 matchup against the Jazz. Twice in the first round against the Mavericks Leonard snared a whopping four steals. With tonight’s game being another crucial one for Los Angeles, bettors should fully expect Leonard to bring the defensive intensity once again. In addition, the team-friendly brand of basketball that the Jazz play is ideal for forcing turnovers. Utah coughed up 14.1 per game this season.
