NBA prop bets for Thursday night's playoff games

We swept the article plays Wednesday here on Yardbarker, so let's carry that momentum over into a new day of NBA playoff basketball.

There are three games Thursday night, all in the Western Conference. First is Memphis-Minnesota in a pivotal Game 3 with the series tied.

Even without Luka Doncic, the Mavericks-Jazz series is tied at 1-1. Luka is questionable for Thursday's game.

Then Golden State heads to Denver up 2-0 with a chance to all but put the series away. 

Here is one prop spot to look at for each game Thursday night.

Anthony Edwards From Deep

At this point in the season, my first stop is always going to be how a player has done against the team he's in a series with.

Unless a massive lineup shift occurs, these trends hold significant weight from my point of view. If a player is doing well or struggling against a certain team, odds are that will continue throughout the series.

With that in mind, Anthony Edwards has been rolling from long-range for Minnesota. He has four threes made in both games so far in this series, averaging 10.5 three-point attempts per game.

Against Memphis this year, Edwards has four-plus threes made in five of six games. 

He's also had nice success overall, going for four or more threes in seven of his past 10, averaging 9.1 attempts per game from deep.

Betting: Anthony Edwards over 3.5 threes (+126 FanDuel)

Riding with Bojan Bogdanovic's Hot Streak

Bojan Bogdanovic has been playing 40 minutes a game so far in this series against the Mavericks, making the most of his time on the court.

He's scored 26 and 25 points in the first two games of this series, and is averaging 23 PPG in five games against Dallas this season.

His success does make sense when you consider the Mavs have let small forwards score the eighth-most points per game this season.

I'm following the volume here with Bogdanovic's points. 35 field goal attempts and 40 minutes per game is a role I feel comfortable backing.

Betting: Bojan Bogdanovic over 21.5 points (+100 DraftKings)

Andrew Wiggins Filling the Stat Sheet

This Andrew Wiggins approach is simply looking at his success against Denver. In five games against the Nuggets this season, Wiggins has gone over his "Rebounds and Assists" prop line each game.

In the two playoff games so far, Wiggins has a combined 21 boards and dimes, 10-plus in each game.

While I wish I could flaunt some other advanced metrics to make this prop bet more compelling, sometimes it really does feel that simple.

Wiggins's "Rebounds and Assists" combo prop bet is +110 on DraftKings, with the number set at 7.5. Averaging 9.4 against Denver this season and going over this total in 57% of his last 30 games has me liking the value on this trend.

Betting: Andrew Wiggins over 7.5 rebounds & assists (+110 DraftKings)

Enjoy the playoff hoops Thursday night, and good luck with your bets!
