NBA Playoffs Player Props and Best Bets: LeBron James, Jayson Tatum & More Picks for Sunday, April 26

The NBA Playoffs are back to close out the weekend, and I’ve made my picks for my favorite player prop bets on Sunday.

Paolo Banchero produced a great showing last night to help the Orlando Magic shock the Detroit Pistons yet again, taking a 2-1 series lead. Ayo Dosunmu also came up huge for the Minnesota Timberwolves, scoring 43 points in the wake of injuries to Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo to put his team up 3-1 over the Denver Nuggets.

Today’s four-game schedule begins with the Cleveland Cavaliers facing the Toronto Raptors and will conclude with the Los Angeles Lakers visiting the Houston Rockets.

Here are my top NBA Playoffs player prop picks and bets for Sunday, April 26.

Collin Murray-Boyles Over 11.5 Points (-104) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Murray-Boyles has ended up playing a fairly large role in this series, getting 20, 26, and 28 minutes of action in the first three games. That coincided with starting center Jakob Poeltl being limited to 21, nine, and 18 minutes to begin the series.

The ninth pick in last summer’s NBA Draft scored 14, 17, and 22 points on highly efficient 72.7 percent shooting thus far. While that level of marksmanship isn’t sustainable, he is getting minutes and looks, and the Cavaliers haven’t done much to show that they are able to slow him down.

Scoot Henderson Under 1.5 Threes (+136) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Henderson, the third pick in the draft three years ago, made two, five, and five threes in the first three games of the Portland Trail Blazers’ series with the San Antonio Spurs. He also went 3-9 from downtown in his only regular-season matchup with the Spurs, which might beg the question, “Why take his under?”

While the young guard has been on fire from deep in this series, He only made 1.9 threes per game on 35.2 percent shooting during the regular season. The Spurs ranked eighth in three-point percentage allowed (35.2), and this is a lot to task the young man to sustain.

Jayson Tatum Over 22.5 Points (-132) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Nobody quite likes pressing that Jayson Tatum button like Jayson Tatum does. In other words, he’s never afraid to put up shots, as seen by him taking at least 17 field goals in all three games to start the Boston Celtics’ series with the Philadelphia 76ers. 

Tatum went over in two of three games thus far and shot 49.1 percent from the field for the series. The 76ers have remained competitive but don’t have the right roster to truly take down the Celtics, particularly because of their lack of defensive ability and size at the wing position.

VJ Edgecombe Under 5.5 Rebounds (+116) at FanDuel Sportsbook

The third pick in the most recent NBA Draft started the series with three rebounds in Game 1 before he snatched 10 in Games 2 and 3. However, he went under in three of four regular-season meetings with the C’s, including their three most recent matchups.

The Celtics ranked sixth in rebounds allowed per game, largely due to their slow tempo on the offensive side. They have not shot the three well in this series, but an improvement would create fewer long rebounding opportunities and play a role in putting Edgecombe more likely to go under.

LeBron James Under 23.5 Points (-136) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Austin Reaves’ possible return to the lineup, combined with the Lakers holding a comfortable 3-0 series lead and being on the road all point to James going under this line in a slower day at the office. That’s despite him scoring 28 and 29 points in his last two games.

“The King” was forced to play 45 minutes in an overtime thriller in Game 3, and could be expected to be a little run-down. The Rockets are also going to be desperate and should come out firing, which is even more reason to bet his under in Game 4.
