After an incredible weekend of NBA Playoff basketball, we have two more games lined up this evening. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat each hold 2-1 series leads, while the Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks look to even up each series at 2-2.

Let's jump into today's picks!
Monday, April 24 NBA Props
Bam Adebayo Under 20.5 Points -118 is currently the best odds. Click here to find out which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Bam Adebayo has struggled against Milwaukee, with or without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the lineup. Luckily for us, Giannis is back for Game 4 tonight, which means Bam will have to go up against him and Brook Lopez all night.
He's scored just 22, 18, and 12 points so far in the series, which is right in line with his performance against Milwaukee over the last couple of years. Since the 2021 season, Bam has scored less than 20.5 points in 13 of 16 games against the Bucks, averaging just 16.8 PPG in these games.
Bam has largely been a disaster on offense this postseason. He finished with just 12 points in 41 minutes and eight points in 37 minutes in Miami's two play-in games. This has been a playoff theme for several years now. This under cashed in 13 of Bam's 18 playoff games last season, where he averaged just 14.8 PPG. Plus, two of those overs came against a Sixers team that was missing Joel Embiid for Games 1 and 2 last season.
Bam will have his hands full against Giannis and Lopez tonight, so look for Jimmy Butler and Miami's perimeter players to step up instead.
Jaren Jackson Jr. Under 20.5 Points -110 is currently the best odds. Click here to find out which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Jaren Jackson Jr. found himself in foul trouble during Memphis' Game 3 loss in Los Angeles. However, he kept his hands to himself in the 2nd half, where he played 23 of a possible 24 minutes after the break.
Ultimately, he finished with just 13 points in 32 total minutes. And he's struggled against the Lakers all season long, except for Game 1. Anthony Davis has arguably been the best defensive player in the league over the last couple of weeks, and Jaren has had his fair share of struggles against AD. JJJ has cashed this under in four of six games against the Lakers this season, averaging 19.3 PPG.
Over the last two seasons, Jaren has seen 30+ minutes with Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Dillon Brooks active in 15 games. He's remained under this line in 11 of these 15 games, averaging 19.3 PPG. This line feels a couple of points too high, especially given a slight decrease in efficiency on the road for Jackson Jr. this season.
