Happy Monday. The NBA Playoffs continue tonight with three big time matchups and TWO potential elimination games.
The night starts in the Sunshine State. The Orlando Magic will host the Detroit Pistons for Game 4 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal. The Magic lead the series two games to one and look to apply pressure with a win tonight.
After the the Pistons/Magic, we head out to the desert. The Phoenix Suns are on the brink of elimination and will look to extend this series with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder have won all three games by double digits so far, so the Suns will have their work cut out for them.
Lastly, the night finishes with a dog fight in the NBA's Northwest division. The Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets do not like each and this series is the third time in the last four years the two have matched up. The Nuggets are the second team facing elimination tonight and it's against a severely undermanned Timberwolves squad.
So much is happening tonight, let's jump straight into my favorite props.
Today's Best Bets
Isaiah Joe o10.5 PRA (-120) | Lucky Rebel
Isaiah Joe o1.5 3s (-130) | Lucky Rebel
It's not often I double dip on a player, but these Isaiah Joe lines feel mis-priced. I looked for him after news of Jalen Williams broke before Game 3, but Joe was out of the lineup for personal reasons.
Joe averaged 11.1 points per game this season for the Thunder, shooting 45.5% from the field and 42.3% from beyond the arc.
Joe lead the Thunder in threes made this year, he finished the year third in three point percentage (min. 5 3P/game) and leads all bench players in three point percentage. Oklahoma City's a team built on depth and when a guy like Jalen Williams goes down, it's not a matter of who steps up; it's a matter of how many.
The Thunder thrive because of their ability to play different lineups and in games without JDub this year, he's stepped up in a big way. Joe's averaging 12.5 points per game without Williams in the lineup and he's playing just under 25 minutes per contest.
Joe's shooting 45% from the field in these games but 42% from the perimeter. Oklahoma City ranks 12th out of 16 playoff teams in 3-point percentage, but still rank 2nd in threes made. Solely because they take a ton and in Game 3 they were without their top shooter.
Joe returns to the lineup tonight with a chance at closing out the series.
Mike Conley o10.5 PRA (-112) | Lucky Rebel
Bet you didn't see this one coming. The Timberwolves suffered not just one terrible injury in Game 4, but TWO. Donte DiVincenzo went down with what looked like an achilles tear just one minute into Game 4 and Anthony Edwards never made it out of the locker room after halftime.
Edwards was diagnosed with a hyper-extended left knee and bone bruise on the same side. Donte's out for the year with a return date most likely at least a full year away. Antman's out for at least the next few weeks and without a real time table to return.
Even with two starters out of the lineup for the entire second half, the Timberwolves found a way to win. Big part of their altered game plan was their vet, Mike Conley.
With Donte out for the Timberwolves, they don't have a primary ball handler. Mike was the guy that did in his absence and tonight with a chance to end the series, I think Mike's the guy that does it again.
He finished with 5 points, 4 assists and 1 rebound in Game 4, shot 2/4 from the field and 1/2 from outside. In games where he plays at least 19 minutes this year, Conley averages 6.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.
