We've got NBA player props as two explosive second-round playoff series continue on Sunday. Oklahoma City vs Denver, and Cleveland vs Indiana Game 4 are sure to be momentous affairs, so let's profit with player props.
I've scoured the odds board to bring you three NBA player prop picks:
NBA Player Props Today
Max Strus OVER 20.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists +110 At Sportsbook
Strus has exploded for 20 plus points in each of the past two games, posting 35 and 34 points + rebounds + assists in Games 2 and 3 against the Pacers.
As Indiana focuses on containing Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers other threats, Strus has been the open man in the corner. The Illinois' native has averaged 26 PRAs over his past five games, while shooting 45% from the field and 39% from three. On top of that, Strus has averaged 6.8 potential assists and 12.8 rebounding chances in that stretch.
I love Strus to fill the stat sheet in Game 4 as the Pacers are forced to try and stop Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Darius Garland.
Christian Braun UNDER 10.5 Points -108 At Sportsbook
Evidently Christian Braun's defensive duties are effecting his offensive game. Braun has scored just 22 total points in three games against the Thunder, putting up three in Game 2 and eight in Game 3.
Braun has been tasked with defending the likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, and has little left for the offensive end of the floor. Denver will need to be at their defensive best to have any hope of taking a 3-1 lead against the Thunder, who will surely feel they should be ahead in this series after blowing two straight leads. The former Kansas Jayhawk has knocked down just 4 of this last 14 shots in this series.
Look for Braun to continue to exert most of the energy defensively, and fail to hit his 10.5 point player prop tonight.
Michael Porter Jr UNDER 5.5 Rebounds -105 At Sportsbook
This is a pure hustle play as Michael Porter Jr is clearly struggling with a sprained left shoulder. Porter Jr.'s been heavily taped up all series long, and is often jumping in for potential 50/50 rebounds with only one arm as he protects the injury.
The Nuggets desperately need Porter Jr.'s shooting, as a couple clutch jumpers helped sink the Thunder in Game 3. So expect to see the Missouri product continue to make business decisions with the ball in the air. Porter Jr. grabbed three rebounds in Game 1 and five in Game 2, so expect his rebounding to revert to the mean today.
Expect to see OKC's physicality come to the fore as the Thunder contest everything in a must win contest. Fade Porter Jr.'s rebounding prop in Game 4.
