Wednesday's NBA Playoff slate features just two games. The Detroit Pistons look to avenge their Game 1 loss at home against the Orlando Magic, while the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder will see if they can lay down the hammer once again versus the Phoenix Suns.
Below, I've got a pair of plays that I'll be sweating out across both games, so let's jump into my NBA Playoff prop bets for Wednesday, April 22.

NBA Playoff Prop Bets for Wednesday, April 22
Goga Bitadze Over 3.5 Rebounds (-140)
Let's begin in the Motor City, where the Pistons are laying 8.5 points and are expected to bounce back in a big way after a disappointing Game 1 loss as the Eastern Conference's top seed.
While I do expect them to look much better in this spot, my attention shifts to a member of the Orlando Magic. I'll be targeting Magic big man Goga Bitadze and taking him over 3.5 rebounds in tonight's contest.
In Game 1, he snagged six boards in just 11 minutes. During the regular season, he averaged over 15 minutes and pulled down five rebounds per game.
I'm expecting him to log more minutes in this matchup, which should give him an even better opportunity to rack up boards and clear this 3.5 mark.
Jalen Williams Over 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-105)
In the second game of the evening, my focus shifts to Jalen Williams, who is coming off a solid Game 1 performance.
In that outing, he shot 60% from the floor, finishing with 22 points, six assists and seven rebounds. I'm looking for a similar showing from Williams in Game 2.
He's also fared well against this Suns team in their previous two meetings, scoring 28 points with five assists and four rebounds back in February. Then, at the beginning of January, Williams put up 23 points, seven assists and four boards.
Part of that success likely stems from where he operates offensively. A majority of his shots come from mid-range and at the rim, and the Suns rank 17th in field goal percentage allowed from mid-range and 22nd at the rim this season.
Let's look for Williams to eclipse his PRA in back-to-back games versus the Suns.
