04/17/2022 - NBA Playoff First Round Series - Game 1 | Pelicans vs. Suns
The Suns will burst tonight no doubt and as a Suns fan, I can’t be happier to watch them win, however, for my prop pick I chose one of the few players with plenty of playoff experience, 62 NBA playoff games to be exact: CJ McCollum.
CJ is a consistent player, playmaker, and orchestrator. Against the Suns, CJ has averaged 20.7 points in the last five games and 24.8 points in his career. As a starter, he will get to play for more minutes and team up to score as much as he can.
Let’s not overlook his performance against the Spurs in which he scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists while playing over 35 minutes. He scored this same number back in February against the Suns, which by the way, ended the Suns’ streak.
We are well aware he’s playing the underdog side here, but there is fuel to this. Chances are he’ll go over 24.5 points tonight.
