The second round of the postseason is here and we've got our best May 3 NBA props along with some NBA playoff promos to take advantage of before tipoff.
May 3 NBA props today: Jayson Tatum and James Harden props, plus more NBA picks
There's just one game tonight, with things really only just getting started in Round 2. Here are the May 3 NBA odds:
- 76ers (+9.5) at Celtics (8 p.m. ET, PHI leads 1-0)
Below are our best NBA props today, including picks for Jayson Tatum, James Harden and more.
Jayson Tatum props: Over 29.5 points (-125 or better)
Tatum had his way on the court on Monday night, scoring 39 points on 14-25 shooting...and yet the Celtics still somehow lost to a Joel Embiid-less Sixers.
Tatum's shot was working for him all over the floor -- he was 4-for-5 from 3-point range on the night -- so he should have another fruitful game with Boston down in the series.
Embiid is also set to return in Game 2, so there needs to be some urgency by their superstar if the Celtics are looking to head back to Philly with the series tied 1-1.
James Harden props: Over 21.5 points (-113 or better)
We've got even odds for the former MVP who just dropped 45 points on the Celtics' head in Game 1.
The line dropped four points with the news of Embiid's return, but that just plays better into our hand here.
It looks like Harden's got his shot back after a rough go in round one and Embiid likely isn't at 100 percent just yet despite being available to go.
Though Embiid surely won't just be a decoy out there, Harden will still need to produce scoring now that the Sixers have a legitimate shot of stealing both games in Boston.
Jaylen Brown props: Over 2.5 3-pointers made (-102 or better)
Brown has been hot from 3 in his last few games, going a combined 16 of 23 since Game 3 of the first round.
He's hit this over in all of those games, including a six 3-pointers showing in the closeout game against the Hawks.
With a lot of focus on Tatum tonight, Brown should hit this over with ease.
Joel Embiid props: Under 9.5 rebounds (-122 or better)
Embiid is playing his first game in two weeks and has to deal with Tatum, Al Horford and Robert Williams down low.
There's a chance the Sixer's game plan is for Embiid to stay out of the paint and not get banged up under the glass with those big guys. His knee is likely still compromised and they can't risk him hurting it further.
The MVP also averaged just over 10 a game during the regular season -- and that's when he wasn't injured.
