Three best NBA players, opportunities for Friday, May 9th: Use Evan Mobley, Christian Braun in NBA Playoff -Picks

Few would have expected that the Indiana Pacers would have returned home with a 2-0 lead over the top seeds Clleveland Cavaliers, but the second round of the NBA Playoffs from 2025 presented many surprises. Given the fact of how well road teams played last week, Indiana could stumble in an always important game 3 at home to start at 7:30 p.m. In the meantime, the Oklahoma City Thunder reacted with a 43-point victory over the Nuggets in game 2 with a 43-point victory when they return 1: 1 for a start from 10 p.m. to Denver. Nikola Jokic, who had an average of a triple double in the regular season and in the first round against the Clippers, did not publish a triple double in one of the first two games against the thunder.

He has +110 chances on Draftkings Sportsbook to record a triple double for Friday NBA player props. Shai Gilgeous-Aalexander scored at least 33 points in the first two games for the thunder of this series, and his total points are set for 32.5.

The sportsline projection model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $ 10,000 in the last six seasons for $ 100 for $ 100 for top NBA picks. One of the data scientists behind the model, Stephen Oh (@stephenohcbs), analyzed the SIM results and broke the supporting evidence to announce which player props are worth for today's slate. The NBA chances could change, so act for a maximum value now.

Evan Mabley over 2.5 templates (-105)

The model projects Mobley with 2.9 assists and he has an average of 3.1 assists per game this season. The chance of playing this less than the traditional chances of winning is the value for OH. Mobley (ankle) is questionable and misses game 2 with the injury, but in view of the importance of avoiding 3-0, Oh expects Mobley do everything he can to play. The injury could even reduce his mobility and aggressiveness to score a goal that would help his assistant.

“This line is low because this season is average on the road (2.7) much lower (2.7) than at home (3.4), and its outputs are only 47.4% (compared to 68.4% at home),” said Oh. “But I see a player who comes in a 5-1 stretch 'due' before he had seven in a row and 16: 5 if they expand it until the end of February.”

Other sports books have these opportunities of -110 or more, while BetmGM offers the best chances of -105 and they can get up to 1,500 US dollars on bonus bets if you bet there now.

Andrew Nembhard under 22.5 points + assists + rebounds (-110)

Nembhard looked through this number in the first two games in the series, but the Pacers also exceeded expectations in both competitions. Indiana with a 2-0 lead home is really shocking and Nembard's game is an important reason for this. But there is a reason why Cleveland went 64-18 this season and the model projects a stronger performance of the Cavaliers on Friday.

In four of his last five home games with the Pacers as an outsider, Nembhard has its entire PRA, who has an average of 16.4 in these competitions. In each of his last two games of the regular season against Cleveland, he went under this total number and never had a pra-rod of more than 25 against the cavaliers in the regular season.

Caesars Sportsbook offers the best chances at -110, while other betting apps juice the chances of the area -115, -120. Now bet at Caesars, where you can double your winnings on your next 10 bets.

Christian Braun over 1.5 blocks + steals (+100)

Although Braun no longer exceeded this number in four games in a row, this is more likely to be seen as an opportunity for the depth of purchase with plus money value than with a relevant trend that he expects. Braun passed this number in four of his first five playoff games in front of the current lower series and he had an average of 1.6 blocks + steals during the season. Braun fought and played only 26 minutes in game 2 in a one-sided affair, but after playing for 40 minutes in game 1 and playing for at least 37 minutes this after season, Oh expects a stronger all-round performance on Friday than returning home for game 3.

“It is the human (or referee) nature to allow Home teams with championship trunk tree to get away with defensive aggressiveness, which would be referred to as fouls in the regular season,” said Oh. “The Celtics had got away with a difficult attack in game 2 against the Knicks, and that should help brown to get away with a few wrist blows that steal and lead blocks instead of fouls, especially early in the game.”
