May 10 Best NBA Player Props
Tyrese Haliburton Under 4.5 Rebounds (-122) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Tyrese Haliburton only added 3.9 rebounds per game in the regular season. However, he grabbed six rebounds in Game 2 after a career night where he added 34 points, nine assists, and three steals to go with those six rebounds.
Haliburton is hot and cold. He's never consistent. He'll have games where he goes off and games where he's non-existent.
That said, he's added four or fewer rebounds in half of the playoff games. He also averaged just four rebounds in three regular-season games against the Knicks earlier this season.
It's more likely Haliburton will end the night with four or fewer rebounds.
Isaiah Jackson Under 9.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Isaiah Jackson has seen 14 minutes per game for the Pacers in this series against the Knicks. While he's made an impact, he also had four fouls in 15 minutes in Game 2.
In addition, Jackson barely saw minutes for the Pacers in the first series, averaging 5.8 minutes per game. With multiple losses, the Pacers might look to tighten up their rotation to get a win at home against the Knicks, who will be shorthanded.
Even if Jackson gets his 15 minutes tonight, there's no guarantee he hits the Over. He's not the greatest foul shooter either, which helps. I'm backing the Under here.
Nikola Jokic Over 28.5 Points (-120) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Nikola Jokic just won the MVP. He also took shade from Shaq about not deserving it this year.
Down 2-0 in the series against Minnesota, MVPs typically rise to the occasion. If Jokic isn't a fraud, he better show that tonight.
Jokic scored 28.2 points per game against the five-game series win over the Lakers. He also added 32 points in 41 minutes against Minnesota in the first game of the series. We know he's capable of having a big night offensively, even against Minnesota.
But really, forget all the stats. This is a gut-check game for Jokic, and I'm buying in.
