Prop Pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the 2024 Playoffs series with the Orlando Magic 2-0. Both of those games were played in Cleveland, and the hosts won 97-83 and 96-86.

“I thought I played okay. I think I could’ve done a lot of things better… I had 9 of our 12 turnovers… don’t plan on doing that ever again.”

Now, the series is moving to Florida where the Magic need to start scoring more. Their points leader Paolo Banchero scored 24 and 21 points in the first two games, which isn’t bad, but he needs to do even better this time.

Prop Pick

The Philadelphia 76ers are 2-0 down, but the good news for them is that Game 3 of the series is played on their turf. Wells Fargo Center is where they’re 5-0 this month, so they have every right to hope for a good result this evening.

This goes especially because their best player Joel Embiid is in top form. In the previous game, he scored 34 points, which we think he might do again tonight.

Joel Embiid 34+ Points	+110

Prop Pick

The Los Angeles Lakers lost both of the NBA Playoff games against the Nuggets in Denver. However, in the second game of the series, they came very close to winning. The final score was 101-99 for the defending champions.

It was a disappointing loss, but their performance has certainly given the Lakers a confidence boost ahead of Game 3. They are confident they have what it takes to make it 2-1 this evening.

For that, their superstars need to continue playing well. This goes especially for Anthony Davis, who’s been their standout player since the start of the postseason, scoring 32 points in each of those two games with the Nuggets. We think he can do even better in the third game of the series.

Anthony Davis 34+ Points	+357
