Hey there!
I hope you're all doing great and cashing out a lot. It's been a while since my last prop and...Goodness, I missed you! So, here it is.
05/10/2022 - NBA Playoff Second Round Series - Game 5 | Mavericks vs. Suns
It's no boomer these series have been tough for my beloved Suns and fans (and bettors) However, keep always in mind this is playoffs basketball, and be open for surprises.
My prop player pick goes to Deandre Ayton over 17.5 points. Here are the logical reasons:
- He has averaged 18.7 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 10 games in the 2022 playoffs.
- In Devin Booker's absence he rapidly became the team's scorer. He averaged 17.2 ppg.
- He reached his career-high during the present playoffs with 28 points against the Pelicans.
- Against the Mavs, he has scored 64 points in Games 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Beyond stats, there's a whole world that stands on its own. So, here is my personal view on Game 5:
First, what I respect and admire the most about the Suns is their teamwork and ability to play for the team and not for themselves. I dare to say they individually don't look for personal career-highs but for the team's best interests.
So, shooters gonna shoot tonight. Ayton will be assisted and he will be able to make it for his team.
Secondly, their drive. Beyond stats, there is the player's drive. Ayton will make a great contribution on his end to help the Suns win tonight. I know 18 points are absolutely achievable for a driven and motivated Ayton.
Finally, the Suns play at home...and there is no place like home.
NBA Prop Player Pick: Deandre Ayton over 17.5 points.
Bonus Prop Player Pick
NBA Prop Player Pick: Chris Paul will have at least 8 assists
I will not break it down...I'll just leave this question here for you to decide: Have you ever seen a team top player that also performs as a coach, and that cares more for his team than his own? I haven't aside from Paul.
Good luck!
I'll tail, need some Burger King money!
