Free NBA Props Thursday April 21, 2022

Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves, 7:30PM ET

PICK: Anthony Edwards OVER 3.5 threes (+126)

Ant has arrived. The number one overall pick in the 2020 draft has never been short of confidence and now that he's on the big stage of the playoffs, he's come to the party with 4 threes in each of his first two games.

His coach Chris Finch is very happy with how the young guard is playing, stating, “Everything he’s doing is definitive. He’s sharp. He’s getting into his stuff quick. He’s making the right reads more often than not. He’s really confident in his shot."

With Edwards' confidence up like it is right now, and the chance to play his first ever home playoff game, this plus money play looks nice.

Mavericks vs. Jazz, 9:00PM ET

PICK: Donovan Mitchell OVER 3.5 threes (+158)

Mitchell hasn't hit this number in his last four games, but with the Jazz back on their home court, and his volume creeping up, this should be the game he snaps that run.

Despite only hitting 2 and 3 threes in the two games so far this postseason, Mitchell is leading the league in PPG this postseason with 33.

After attempting 10 threes last game, it's clear that the Jazz want him up around that number going forward, and a career 36.1% 3PT shooter, four or more is certainly not out of reach for the odds we're getting.

Warriors vs. Nuggets, 10:00PM ET

PICK: Nikola Jokic 35+ points (+220)

To win this game, the Nuggets basically need a(nother) superhuman performance from their MVP.

Joker has been putting in a lot of effort over the first two games of the season, only to come up short in both.

With their season basically on the line, he should be on the court for the majority of the game and is averaged around 33 points per 40 mins so far this postseason. And after getting to the line for 8 FT attempts last game, he's seemingly starting to figure out how to curtail the defense of Draymond Green.
