Free NBA Props Friday May 6, 2022

Heat vs. 76ers, 7:00PM ET

PICK: Tyrese Maxey OVER 21.5 points (-108)

The Sixers will still be without Joel Embiid - barring some kind of miracle - for Game 3, meaning that Tyrese Maxey is going to have to be that guy again. At times in early in Game 2, it looked like Harden might have been the one to lead the Philly offense, but in the end it was the second-year player Maxey who poured in 34 points in 43 minutes from 22 shot attempts. With Philadelphia down 2-0 in the series and seriously in danger of being swept, another big effort will be needed from the former Kentucky guard.

Mavericks vs. Suns, 10:00PM ET

PICK: Luka Doncic OVER 34.5 points (-110)

Is there a number big enough for Luka's points prop tonight that would scare me off making the bet? Not really. Doncic is reaching historic levels for points per game during his playoffs career - not to mention usage rate - and while that may sound bad for Phoenix, it seems like they could care less. With a supporting cast in Dallas that can go missing with some defensive pressure applied, the Suns appear to have planned for Luka to score at will and restrict the others during this series. And it's working. Let's take advantage.
