NBA Player Props Best Bet #1: Mikal Bridges (NYK) Over 13.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-102)

If the Knicks are going to close out the Hawks tonight on the road, they’re going to need production from guys who have been in the background all series.

Enter Mikal Bridges who has only been averaging 10 points + rebounds + assists this series as we’ll take him to go over 13.5 points + rebounds + assists for Game 6.

Now this is somewhat of a contrarian play with Bridges under performing vastly this series when you consider he averaged 21.9 points + rebounds + assists during the regular season.

Josh Hart is coming into this game as questionable with a back injury so if he is out or limited in any way tonight, Bridges is going to have to step up and be a key contributor in the lineup in multiple stat categories.

Bridges hasn’t been terrible shooting the ball this series averaging 43% from the field and his six field goal attempts and 27 minutes played in Game 5 were both the most he had in a game since Game 2 when he played 37 minutes and attempted 10 field goals.

For what it’s worth Bridges did average 2.5 more points per game in road games this season than home games and in three head-to-head meetings with the Hawks during the regular season averaged 25 points + rebounds + assists.

With that, let’s look for Bridges to snap out of it tonight with a chance to close out the Hawks on the road going over 13.5 points + rebounds + assists on Thursday night.

NBA Player Props Best Bet #2: Nikola Jokic (DEN) Over 23.5 Rebounds + Assists (-130)

It’s do or die again for the Nuggets as they attempt to force a Game 7 at home taking on the Timberwolves in Game 6 tonight. We’re going to take Nikola Jokic over 23.5 rebounds + assists while notching 28 rebounds + assists in their 125-113 Game 5 win.

The former NBA MVP has averaged 23.4 rebounds + assists this series but it seems like momentum may be in favor of the Nuggets now as Minnesota plays without both Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo who both went down with series ending injuries in Game 4.

Jokic has been somewhat contained by Rudy Gobert this series averaging over two points less per game this series than what he averaged during the regular season and shooting over 14% less than what he did during the regular season as well.

This has forced Jokic to get more involved in other facets of the game while still making a positive impact for his team.

In four head-to-head matchups with Minnesota this regular season he averaged 26.3 rebounds + assists and averaging 27.1 rebounds + assists per 40 minutes on the season.

Jokic has averaged 38.8 minutes per game this series so let’s take “The Joker” to fill up the stat sheet once again tonight going over 23.5 rebounds + assists in Game 6 tonight.
