NBA Play-In Player Props: Joel Embiid Under 30.5 Points at -115

Joel Embiid enters tonight's matchup with a prop of o/u of 30.5 points at -115.

It may be a hard sell considering the Process has recently returned to court and has shown no signs of injury rust; posting 30.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game. Embiid has also dropped 37 and 32 points in his last two regular season games.

Still, when matched up against the Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo, Joel Embiid has rarely had big scoring performances. Adebayo has typically kept Embiid under 30 points in all but two matchups between the two All-Star centers. 

You can expect the Heat to make it hard for Joel Embiid all night.

NBA Play-In Player Props: Tyrese Maxey Over 24.5 Points at -113 

Tyrese Maxey's ascension into an All-Star was one of the highlights of the Philadelphia 76ers' season.

The star guard got the chance to take over the offense when Joel Embiid was out due to injury, and coming into tonight's with a lot on the line, Tyrese Maxey should have another big-time scoring performance to help the 76ers clinch the seventh seed. 

During the season Maxey averaged 25.9 points per game, as he should have an easy time smashing the over here.

It's 'Playoff Szn Jimmy' time! This is when the Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler typically shines and delivers outstanding performances when it matters most. 

Jimmy Butler is averaging 1-2.4 three-pointers per game entering tonight's matchup, and has made 41.4% of three-pointers this season. Considering that he shot a career-high in three-pointer percentage this year, we can see Jimmy Butler launching way more shots with a chance to the NBA Playoffs on the line.

NBA Play-In Player Props: Bam Adebayo Under 10.5 Rebounds at -120 

Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo has been a pivotal part of the Heat's success this season, being relatively healthy for most of the year. 

Now Adebayo has a challenging task in trying to box out the best center in the NBA, Joel Embiid. 

Bam's recent rebounding trend over the past few games makes us worried about risking taking the over, as Adebayo grabbed just six rebounds in each of the Heat's final two games.

Against Embiid, he might struggle to cross the ten rebound mark. Give us the under on Bam Adebayo rebounds.

NBA Play-In Player Props: Trae Young Over 10.5 Assists at -115

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young enters tonight with a prop of O/U 10.5 assists.  

Considering that Young was second in assists this season at 10.8 a game, it's easy to see him smashing this prop.

Trae Young has managed to have seven or more assists in his last few regular-season games since returning from the ankle injury. 

Young is expected to have another big night passing the ball, as he has a chance to keep his season alive.

NBA Play-In Player Props: DeMar DeRozan Over 28.5 Points at -118 

The Chicago Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan is looking to help his team keep their season alive at whatever the cost. 

The15-year veteran averaged 24.0 points per game this season and considering the significance of this play-in game, a win-and-get scenario at home, DeMar DeRozan should have a big-time scoring performance to help try and lift the Bulls past the Hawks.  

DeRozan has managed to average 26.4 points, 4.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds in his last 5 games against the Hawks. 

We'll take the over in points for DeMar DeRozan.

NBA Play-In Player Props: Clint Capela Over 12.5 Rebounds at -104 

Despite the Hawks' issues on the glass throughout the season, Atlanta's big man Clint Capela should easily cover this line.

With Onyeka Okongwu being out, Capela's role on the team has significantly increased. He should see more touches in the paint and would likely have more chances to clean the glass as well. 

Clint Capela should have an easier time winning down low against the Bulls, who may be without Andre Drummond, whose status is questionable for tonight's game.
