NBA Betting Prediction: NBA Player Props | June 7

Jrue Holiday Over 6.5 Assists

The Bucks did a major face plant in the second half of Game 1. A 2-point deficit at halftime ballooned to 14 at the end of the third quarter. The fact that Milwaukee came back to win the fourth and whittle the final margin down to 8 is noteworthy going into Game 2. The Nets will once again be without James Harden, but this is a defense that has significant issues to begin with. As the orchestrator of the Bucks’ offense, Jrue Holiday should manage to exceed the NBA player props line of 6.5 assists tonight.

After dishing 12 or more assists in two of the Bucks’ four games in the opening round of the playoffs, Holiday was held to just six in Game 1. The 107 points Milwaukee scored were 7 fewer than the Nets have allowed on average this season. Had more second-half shots fallen, Holiday would’ve gone over this total on Saturday even in defeat. Although -144 odds are required to bet this over, it’s worth it given Holiday’s performance in the postseason thus far. Bettors feeling extra bullish can also find plus-money odds to play over 7.5.

Joe Harris Over 13.5 Points

This Round 2 matchup is a great one for Harris. For as talented a team as the Bucks are, they ranked 28th in 3-point shooting defense on the season. Opponents have connected on over 38% of their shots from downtown against Milwaukee. The 3-point barrage was on for Harris and his Nets teammates in Game 1. Brooklyn took 40 total triples and hit 15 of them, good for 37.5%. Unless the Bucks change something drastically, there’s no reason to shy away from betting over 13.5 points for Harris tonight.

Harris averaged 14.1 points per game this season. Of course, he wasn’t always in such a favorable matchup for 3-point shooting as he finds himself in this playoff series. Harris buried five triples in Game 1 and finished with 19 points. The Nets will undoubtedly look to keep getting him shots and exploit the Bucks’ defensive weakness. The absence of Harden only serves to benefit Harris in the scoring department.

Monte Morris Under 12.5 Points

Monte Morris played a crucial role in the Nuggets closing out their Round 1 series in six games. After splitting duties with Facundo Campazzo early on in the series, Morris made the most of additional playing time in both Games 5 and 6. He scored 28 and 22 points in the two games, well above his season scoring average of 10.2 per game. While his minutes could very well stay up in the 30s in Game 1 against the Suns tonight, this matchup presents a whole different challenge for Morris as a scorer.

NBA player props picks odds prediction Monte Morris Jrue Holiday
The Awesemo NBA Player Props Tool is keen on playing under 12.5 points for Morris tonight. In terms of defensive resistance provided by the opposition, the Nuggets are stepping up in class. The Suns ranked sixth in the NBA in scoring defense this season and fourth at defending the 3-pointer. Denver’s Round 1 opponent, the Trail Blazers, ranked in the bottom 10 in both defensive categories. Morris also started that series slowly. It wasn’t until Game 5 that he cleared 12 points in any contest. Look to fade Morris tonight. This game could very well be more of a defensive slugfest than people think.
