Three best NBA bets for today, Wednesday, May 14th: Use Mikal Bridges, Julius Randle in NBA Playoff -Picks

The offensive of the Celtics will differ significantly on Wednesday without Jayson Tatum (Achilles), who scored an average of 22.5 shots in the first four games in the series, so that his absence could lead to more scoring opportunities for players such as Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and Jrue Holiday. Tatum's absence is taken into account in the chances Betting appsBut could it be worth using one of these Celtics on Wednesday NBA Player props with Tatum Out and the Celtics (-4.5, 207.5) with a Win-Or-Go home game 5 against the Knicks at 7 p.m. ET?

In the meantime, the Minnesota Timberwolves are trying to close their series at home against the Golden State Warriors (+11.5, 202) at 9:30 p.m. Anthony Edwards has 30 points in a row, and its total points above/lower are set to 27.5 for Wednesday NBA props.

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.

Mikal Bridges over 14.5 points (-110)

Throughout the season, many Knicks fans questioned whether Bridges was really worth the five picks in the first round that were sent to the Brooklyn Nets for Bridges in a package, but the performance of the 28-year-old in this post-season has silenced all critics. Bridges had 23 points in game 4 on Monday and he has an average of 16.3 ppg in his last three games in this series. He was dominant in games with 54 points in games with 54 points in this posting season. The model projects on Wednesday for 16.1 points and OH believes that Tatum, which helps out of the bridges, helps. Draftkings offers opportunities for -110.

“Although he may not be the primary defender or was primarily defended by Jayson Tatum, Tatum did not play a domino effect in which the Knicks do not have to consume a series of energy that have to do with Tatum at both ends of the court,” oh. “Bridges shouldn't spend so much energy and have a lot to end for the offensive.”

Julius Randle over 7.5 rebounds (+120)

Randle only had five rebounds in game 4, but he had 10 rebounds in competition and an average of 7.1 rebounds per game this season. The 30-year-old increased his game this off-season and achieved an average of 24.3 points per game against the Warriors compared to 18.7 ppg in the regular season, and he played in back-to-back games for at least 40 minutes. The Timberwolves have the opportunity to close the series at home without giving Stephen Curry the chance to return healthily. So expect a motivated team of Randle and Timberwolves fight for every rebound.

The model projects 8.3 recovers on Wednesday for Randle. In seven of his last 10 games, when he is preferred and a top -10 defense plays, he looked through his overall bumper. Randle scores an average of 7.3 rebounds in his last three games, so that he sees this as a value in value with plus money opportunities. Caesars Sportsbook offers this at +120 opportunities.

Brandin Podziemski over 1.5 3 points (-112)

Oh, Podziemski's fights are aware of this series and turned 3: 17 (17.6%) without playing games in this series, but Podziemski achieved an average of 1.8 3 points this season and often played with a healthy curry. Podziemski took at least four 3-point pointers in each of the four games in this series in the last two games, so that the possibilities are there. After 37.2% from the sheet this season, oh sees the value in a bouncer performance. Fanduel offers this chances of winning -112, while other sports wines juice the chances even higher.

“Expect that he has a nice regression to have a common game without pressure,” said Oh. “Jimmy Butler is clearly not right and fights to get clean looks compared to the larger, longer, faster defenders in Minnesota, which leads to more field goal attempts for the other starter. He comes with five games with five games with no more than three, but he was 15-6 over 1.5 in front of this route, and before the playoffs was 5: 1 over 1.5.
