<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNBA Player Props Best Bet #1: Paolo Banchero (ORL) Over 31.5 Points + Rebounds (-120)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Although the Magic as a team haven\u2019t experienced much success in the NBA post season, Paolo Banchero locks in at this time of the year as he averaged 37.8 in Orlando\u2019s 4-1 series loss to Boston in the first round last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re going to take him over 31.5 points + rebounds against a Philadelphia team that will be playing without Joel Embiid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banchero averaged 31.9 points + rebounds in road games this season compared to 29.2 points + rebounds in home games with tonight\u2019s game being played in Philly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In two head-to-head games against the 76ers Banchero averaged 32 points + rebounds per game and although his production slightly dropped in April, he\u2019ll still be the focal point of this Magic offense tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banchero averaged nearly 35 minutes per game this season and as long as he stays out of foul trouble and the game stays close he could hover near 40 minutes while averaging 35.3 points + rebounds per 40 minutes played this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 76ers ranked bottom 10 in rebounding percentage this regular season and with both teams running at a top 10 pace in the last 10 games of the regular season, we should see additional possessions for Banchero to fill up the stat sheet tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look for Banchero to take advantage of scoring and rebounding opportunities inside going over 31.5 points + rebounds <\/strong>with the winner of this game taking on the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warriors backup point guard Brandin Podziemski did a solid job taking over the starting job for Steph Curry while he was sidelined for 39 games this season but we don\u2019t think he\u2019ll be that effective in the rebounding and assist department as we\u2019ll look for him to go under 8.5 rebounds + assists tonight on the road agains the Clippers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This number is set just slightly too high with Podziemski averaging just 5.7 rebounds + assists in seven April games and in three head-to-head meetings with LA this season he only averaged 7.3 rebounds + assists per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the season the Clippers have allowed the seventh fewest rebounds per game and 11th fewest assists per game to the opposition with both teams running at a bottom eight pace in their last ten games which will limit the amount of rebounding and assist opportunities for Podziemski. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When Curry is active this season he has averaged 7.6 rebounds + assists per game compared to 10.1 rebounds + assists when Curry was out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With Curry healthy and ready to go for this win or go home game, let\u2019s look for his backup in Podziemski to go under 8.5 rebounds + assists<\/strong> on Wednesday night.
