Just like every other night, player props are a great way to get into the action.  See lines for the superstars hitting the hardwood tonight in the table below and then check out two fo the better betting options in the article below.

Odds as of May 12th

Raul Neto Coming In Hot

Raul Neto will once again be in a position to come up big tonight and the safe money is on him to capitalize. With Bradley Beal out once again, there should be plenty of added responsibility to go around just like Monday night.

Given the same opponent, with the same lineup, “Wolf Man” should be able to slide under the radar. After all, he’s a beast.

Monday night against the Hawks, Neto took 11 shots which is actually below his average for a game with Beal sidelined. In his last three games with Beal on the shelf, Neto has averaged 14 shots per contest. Neto still has upside as his point total is the same as it was Monday night.

Another advantage bettors have in their back pockets is the fact that Neto only attempted one three-pointer Monday night against the Hawks. In the three previous Beal-less games, Neto attempted at least four in all of them. Neto is shooting right at 40% from three-land on the season so the more attempts from downtown, the better. He should clear this number tonight.

  • The Pick: Neto OVER 10.5 Points (-116)

Dame Time

This time of year belongs to Damian Lillard. Year after year, late in the season when it starts to matter most, there is nobody on the planet quite like Lillard. He can take over any game against any team and they have a big one tonight against the Utah Jazz. If the past week is any indication, Lillard will be ready.

Over his past five games, Lillard has not gone under 30 points in any of them. He’s taken at least 17 shots including at least nine three-pointers in all five contests. It’s not out of the question for him to take 20+ shots tonight in a close game against the Jazz.

On the season, the Jazz are one of the better defenses but injuries have slowly crept up on them. They’ve missed Mike Conley and Donovan Mitchell and over the last three, they’ve given up at least 116 points in all of them. If they give up 115 points tonight, Lillard is a safe bet to account for at least 28 of them.

  • The Pick: Lillard OVER 27.5 Points (-118)
