The NBA Finals returns to the court tonight for Phoenix Suns vs. Milwaukee Bucks Game 6, with Milwaukee having the opportunity to win it all at home. The Bucks have won 17 of their last 18 home games, so all signs point to their fans celebrating at the end of night. What has been interesting to see is how much the change of venue has impacted individual player performances. This makes NBA player props that much more fun to bet tonight. Read on for some NBA betting tips today, four props with odds and picks for tonight’s matchup, including a prediction for Chris Paul.
NBA Betting Prediction: NBA Player Props | Finals Game 6
Chris Paul Under 21.5 Points
Assuming the betting odds are correct and the trends continue, the Bucks will win tonight. While Devin Booker is impressing social media with his highlights, there is no doubting the Suns’ success is mostly influenced by the performance of Chris Paul. The past three losses have seen Paul score 21 points or fewer, while the past three wins featured scoring performances of 23 or more. His last two games in Milwaukee were inefficient and sloppy. With Phoenix projected to lose, it seems like Paul will be a reason for that. Awesemo’s projections list Paul for 19.36 points. The Awesemo NBA Player Props Tool also gives this prop a 65% chance to win.
Pat Connaughton Over 1.5 Made 3’s
Pat Connaughton has been a steady producer off the bench for the Bucks; he shoots 3’s, plays defense and grabs rebounds. Connaughton has hit two or more 3-point shots in six straight games, with three of the five NBA Finals games featuring him making at least three from downtown. He should continue shooting well tonight.

Cameron Johnson Over 1.5 Made 3’s
The 3-point shooting for the Suns has been inconsistent. However, Cameron Johnson has been dialed in off the bench. He has hit two or more shots from downtown in five of his past six games. In the NBA Finals alone he has shot 47.3% from downtown. The fact that the Suns are underdogs is also good, as Phoenix may need his 3-point shooting in the second half to catch up.
Bobby Portis Over 4.5 Rebounds
It seems like Bobby Portis has found his home in the NBA. He has quickly become a fan favorite in Milwaukee, which has led to him playing energetic basketball at home. He has grabbed at least five rebounds in each of the past three home games, including rebounding totals of eight and five in Games 3 and 4, respectively. With the Suns being underdogs, this could also lead to more long-range jump shots late, resulting in more opportunities for easy rebounds.
