The NBA Playoffs are all about rhythm, resilience, and rising to the moment—and that’s exactly how prop bettors should be thinking. This time of year, minutes tighten, stars shine, and role players either rise up or disappear. Identifying who thrives in playoff pressure is the edge that separates casual bets from consistent wins.
We went 2 for 3 yesterday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lit it up with 40 points, easily clearing his 31.5 points line. We missed on Jalen Williams, who had 5 assists (but our bet was over 3.5). And Anthony Edwards just didn’t show up offensively, finishing with only 16 points, well short of the 28-point prop line.
Today’s Top NBA Prop Picks – May 27, 2025
Tyrese Haliburton Over 9 Assists vs New York Knicks
While Haliburton hasn’t been red-hot, he’s averaging 9.2 Assists per game and has hit this number in 2 of his last 5. In a pivotal home matchup, he should see enough looks to get into double digits.
T.J. McConnell Over 9.5 Points vs New York Knicks
McConnell has been a steady contributor, hitting this mark in 4 of his last 5 games. Averaging 9.1 points per game this season, he continues to be a sneaky value play in prop markets.
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 8.5 Rebounds vs Indiana Pacers
Towns has been crashing the boards hard, clearing 8.5 rebounds in 3 of his last 5 games and averaging a dominant 12.8 during that span. Against an Indiana squad that plays fast, there should be plenty of rebound chances.
