NBA Player Props Thursday May 26, 2022

Game 5: Mavericks vs. Warriors, 9:00PM ET

PICK: Klay Thompson OVER 18.5 points (-110)

It's not Game 6, but still, this feels like a Klay Thompson game. With the series on the brink, the Mavericks were able to successfully stop Curry from scoring in Game 4, limiting him to just 20 points; but 8 dimes. As Curry dishes more, it opens up space for his teammates. If the Mavs employ the same gameplan, expect Klay to be one of the beneficiaries.

DimersBOT Projection: 23 points

PICK: Luka Doncic OVER 34.5 points (-110)

With Dallas always just one game away from elimination, don't expect Luka to sit for too many minutes if this game is tight. With a possible 40+ minute night on the horizon, our projections have Luka flirting with a 40-piece tonight - a feat he has achieved in two out of four games already this series.

DimersBOT Projection: 37 points

PICK: Jalen Brunson OVER 4.5 rebounds (+128)

Brunson has been a sneaky good play for rebounds this series, hitting this mark in three of the four games so far, including getting as many as 7 boards in Game 2. With limited rotation for the Mavs, and guys like Dwight Powell seeing reduced court time, it's absolutely possible for Brunson to replicate his efforts of the past three games.

DimersBOT Projection: 5 rebounds
