Bobby Portis Over 4.5 Rebounds (William Hill)

While he isn’t necessarily playing big minutes, the energy and intensity that Bobby Portis brings when he is on the floor have been quite noticeable in this series. He scored 15 points in just 17 minutes of action on Sunday, his second double-digit scoring effort of the Eastern Conference Finals. Portis has also been getting after it on the glass. While he hasn’t replicated his eight rebounds in 15 minutes from Game 1, he has reeled in totals of three and four in the last two games.

With Portis’ primary role being to provide the Bucks with a burst of energy, bettors should take note of even-money odds on him to exceed 4.5 rebounds in tonight’s Game 4. He averaged 7.1 over the course of the full season. Meanwhile, his minutes average during the regular season was not that much more than what he has seen in the playoffs. This over shapes up as one of the better value props of the evening.

Khris Middleton Under 23.5 Points (DraftKings)

After struggling mightily in each of the first two games, Khris Middleton went off on Sunday night. He nearly dropped a triple-double, finishing with 38 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Middleton was red hot from 3-point range in the second half and finished 6-for-12 for the game. It is also worth noting that Middleton took 26 total field-goal attempts. That matched his previous high in any game during this postseason. While Milwaukee was undoubtedly thrilled with the breakout, Sunday’s shooting performance is almost certainly impossible to replicate.

The Awesemo NBA Player Props Tool is right on the fence when it comes to betting over or under 23.5 points for Middleton this evening. As seen in the image above, the exact projection is 23.67 points. While Middleton probably won’t shoot as poorly as he did in the first two games of the series, he will be hard-pressed to go off as he did in Game 3. Middleton has only gone over 23.5 points four times in the last 10 games. He also averaged fewer than 21 points per game over the course of the full season. With the Hawks needing a win in the worst way tonight, defensive intensity could also be on the rise. They will undoubtedly have some solutions in mind for Middleton specifically, after losing him at the 3-point line on countless occasions the other night. The even-money odds to the under make for an appealing prediction.

John Collins Under 9.5 Rebounds (PointsBet)

The final NBA player props prediction for tonight goes back to the well on total rebounds for John Collins. After grabbing double-digit boards in five straight games, Collins has finished with eight in each of the last two. The Bucks are easily the best rebounding team that Atlanta has matched up against this postseason. Furthermore, Collins was slightly overachieving with that five-game run. After all, he only averaged 7.4 rebounds per game over the course of the full season. Foul trouble also plagued him in Game 3 on Sunday. If Milwaukee can put him in a similar situation tonight, reduced minutes will only help a play on the under.
