Free NBA Props Sunday May 1, 2022

Bucks vs. Celtics, 1:00PM ET

PICK: Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 30.5 points (-115)

While we ultimately like the Celtics to win and cover in Game 1, we are not naive to think that they won't have to contend with a big game from the Greek Freak. Giannis is close to unstoppable, hitting 30+ points in 3 of the 5 games against the Bulls in the first round. Without Middleton, he will have to carry an additional load if the Bucks have any hope of keeping this competitive. Our model is expecting more dominance from Antetokounmpo, with DimersBOT projecting Giannis for 34 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists.

Warriors vs. Grizzlies, 3:30PM ET

PICK: Desmond Bane OVER 19.5 points (-116)

We'll keep riding the Bane Train for as long as we can. Bane started hot in Game 6 against the Timberwolves with 13 first quarter points before going quiet during the middle stages of the game before re-emerging to cash our Over bet. That was 4 games out of the 6 in which Bane scored 20 points or more. He's a legitimate scoring threat and this line remains low. DimersBOT is projecting Bane for 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
