🧨 Best Prop

PLAYER: James Harden

BET: UNDER 46.5 points + rebounds + assists with PointsBet (-112)

Jrue Holiday will most likely have the main defensive assignment on James Harden and Kyrie Irving at various points which may lead to the Nets sharing the load. Harden had a great series against the Celtics, but only went above 46.5 PRA twice out of the five game series. With a tougher defensive matchup against the Bucks, the Under is a safe bet here.
