04/28/2022 - NBA Playoff First Round Series - Game 6 | Suns vs. Pelicans
I hope everyone is having a ball during the NBA playoffs and cashing out a lot, of course!
My prop pick for tonight’s matchup goes to the seventh player in the NBA history to have 30 points, 4 3-point field goals made, and 4 blocks in an NBA playoff game: Mikal Bridges. If you are wondering about the others, they are LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, and Vince Carter.
In the past five playoffs games against the New Orleans Pelicans, Bridges has averaged 17.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists.
For Game 6, the Pelicans will go harder on Bridges. While one might be worried about this and the fact the Suns are playing away tonight, which we have seen has impacted them in the previous games, however, I consider Bridges will be up for the task and show us a terrific performance.
Mikal will be among the projected starters and he usually gets heavy minutes on the court. So, he will have the chance to show off why he is holding his new record.
NBA Prop Pick: Mikal Bridges Over 16.5 Points
