NBA Player Prop Bets for Tonight: Deandre Ayton Betting Picks & Predictions | 6/9

The one downfall of advancing through the NBA playoffs is the decline in the number of games on any given day. Tonight, we are left with just one. The Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns are set to battle in Game 2 of their Western Conference Semifinals matchup. It figures to be a good one, and all eyes will be on Nuggets’ star Nikola Jokic as he plays his first game since being named the 2020-21 NBA MVP. After reviewing the NBA betting odds, one prediction features the other starting center in this Nuggets vs. Suns series, Phoenix’s Deandre Ayton.

NBA Betting Predictions: NBA Player Props | June 9

Facundo Campazzo Over 4.5 Assists

There was little worry in playing the under on total points for Monte Morris, in Game 1. Part of the reason that prediction cashed was that Campazzo assumed a much larger workload on Monday. After dipping below the 30-minute threshold in each of the final three Round 1 games, Campazzo logged 36 to kick off the conference semis. He provided a serviceable line for Denver, tallying 14 points, six assists, four rebounds and a pair of steals. But there’s more than just that performance when it comes to playing over 4.5 assists tonight.,

Outside of Games 5 and 6 in the first round, Campazzo has exceeded tonight’s NBA player props assist total in every playoff game to date. Another difference between those two outliers and the rest of the games is that Campazzo saw less than 25 minutes in both. Unless Michael Malone is going to opt to drop his minutes by 12 from Game 1 to tonight, it’s unlikely that Campazzo will not at least clear 25. Given how unproductive Morris was in his 23 Game 1 minutes, it would be crazy for the Nuggets to disregard Campazzo. Bettors can also play over 9.5 total points for Campazzo this evening. However, the plus-money odds on this assists prop make it the featured prediction.

Ayton to go over 10.5 total rebounds is yet another pick with plus-money odds. He has acquitted himself quite well in his maiden postseason run, recorded an impressive 20-point, 10-rebound double-double in Game 1 on Monday. With that, Ayton has now grabbed double-digit boards in five of Phoenix’s seven playoff games to date. Another strong outing could very well be in store tonight.

Deandre Ayton NBA player props picks odds prediction

The Awesemo NBA Player Props Tool is in favor of this plus-money odds prediction. Ayton averaged exactly 10.5 rebounds per game on the season. Basing this prediction off of his season-long sample size alone, any odds better than -110 are logical. He has cleared this line in three postseason games already and came up one rebound shy in two more. The Nuggets were very average in terms of rebounding this season. Denver really doesn’t have a single post player who has the physicality to outmuscle Ayton on the boards. Ride with the over and look for a little extra payout on a winner.
