NBA Playoff Player Prop Bets – Friday, April 29th
Kevon Looney Over 16.5 Rebounds + Assist
In this series, Kevon Looney has been the Warriors’ best rebounder by far. He is averaging 14.4 boards per game while also giving you 5.0 assists per game as well. Looney has gone over his Reb+Ast prop in three straight games this series. The Kings rank 28th in the league in giving up assists per game. They don’t play any defense, and I expect a huge game down low from Looney. So let’s make it four straight, Kevon Looney over 16.5 Reb+Ast.
LeBron James Over 9.5 Rebounds
The Lakers didn’t have it that night for Game 5. Coming back home, the Lakers should come out extremely aggressive and set the tone early because they don’t want to go back to Memphis for a Game 7. Outside of Jaren Jackson Jr, the Grizzlies don’t really have anyone that can consistently get them boards. That’s why I will target LeBron James and his rebound prop.
In the playoffs this year, LeBron has gone over his rebound prop in 5 of 6 games; in the one game he didn’t, he ended with nine rebounds. LeBron is averaging 12.4 rebounds this series alone. On the other hand, the Grizzlies are ranked 21st in the league in rebounds allowed. So expect another big game from LeBron on the glass—over 9.5 rebounds for LeBron James.
