NBA Betting Prediction: NBA Player Props | June 15

Bryn Forbes Over 1.5 Rebounds

Forbes has unsurprisingly been used very sparingly in these Eastern Conference Finals. After logging 22 minutes in blowout Games 1 and 2, he was held to just 15 and 13 minutes, respectively, in Milwaukee’s two wins at home. Even in the reduced playing time, Forbes was able to corral multiple boards in Game 3 before still grabbing one in Game 4. He has done so on the glass throughout the postseason. In fact, Sunday’s Game 4 was only the second time in the playoffs in which Forbes failed to secure multiple rebounds. The first instance came all the way back in Game 1 of Milwaukee’s first-round series against the Heat.

As a bench player, Forbes’ main focus when he checks in is to provide an energy jolt. The fact that bettors can take a shot on plus-money odds for Forbes to simply grab two rebounds tonight is very appealing. If tonight’s road tilt once again turns lopsided, Forbes could be in line for more in playing time as well. Look to back Forbes over 1.5 rebounds among tonight’s NBA player props picks.

Kevin Durant Under 33.5 Points

With the announcement that James Harden is likely to rejoin the Nets lineup for Game 5, the player props market for Durant was thrown into chaos. As it stands at the time of writing, there is no reason for bettors to shy away from playing under 33.5 points for Durant in tonight’s game. That is a number that he has failed to reach in any game in the second round. He also only eclipsed the mark twice in Brooklyn’s first-round win over the Celtics.

Although the Nets will be without Kyrie Irving, the return of Harden means that the scoring onus placed on Durant will be far less than originally expected. After tying up this best-of-seven series, the Bucks figure to aim for a defensive slugfest in order to steal the road win that they need to advance. Furthermore, Durant averaged just 26.9 points per game over the course of the entire season. Tonight’s odds are simply too high to look anywhere but the under.
