Top NBA Prop Bets for May 22, 2025

The NBA Playoffs are heating up, and every possession, point, and rebound matters. As teams dig deep, smart bettors know this is where momentum meets opportunity. Prop bets give us the edge to capitalize on player performance trends rather than just game outcomes—and we’ve got three strong picks for tonight.

Yesterday, we went 2 for 3 on our player props.

✅ Karl-Anthony Towns crushed the Over 11.5 rebounds with 12 boards.

✅ Aaron Nesmith lit it up with 30 points, easily clearing his Over 12 line.

❌ Unfortunately, Myles Turner came up short with just 5 rebounds, missing the Over 6.5 mark. But overall, it was a winning day—and we’re looking to keep that streak going.

Here are today’s top NBA Prop Picks:

Alex Caruso Over 7.5 Points vs Minnesota Timberwolves – He’s been automatic lately, going over in 5 of his last 5 games. Even though his season average is 7.1 points, the recent surge in minutes and shot attempts makes this line appealing.

Isaiah Hartenstein Over 7.5 Rebounds vs Minnesota Timberwolves – While he’s hit this in just 1 of his last 5 games, his season average of 10.7 boards is hard to ignore. Expect a bounce-back effort on the glass against a high-volume shooting team.

Julius Randle Over 24.5 Points + Assists vs New York Knicks – Randle has exceeded this combo line in 5 straight games and is getting heavy usage in the half-court offense. At home, he’s even more aggressive.

Final Thoughts:
These NBA prop bets are backed by strong trends and favorable matchups, making them solid plays across your favorite sportsbooks like FanDuel, DraftKings, PrizePicks, Underdog, Sleeper, or BetMGM. As always—bet smart, ride the momentum, and enjoy the show!
