https://bit.ly/35WIK7r
Some things never make sense and taking a prop bet on Rudy Golbert going over 12.5 rebounds just seems like one of them. Not only is that evident by the fact that it’s the same number that he averages per game, but also due to how often he has actually achieved this mark so far during the postseason. Furthermore, with an opponent like the Clippers, who would have thought Golbert could even get up to double digits?
When all was said and done, Golbert did grab double-digit rebounds during Game 5 against the Clippers, finishing the game with 10. Unfortunately for the Utah Jazz, it wasn’t enough to lift them past the Clippers, who ended up winning 119-111. That put them down 3-2 in the series and puts them on the brink of elimination.
#4 Bruce Brown a reliable under for bettors

Going under is one thing; going under in an embarrassingly spectacular faction is a completely different animal. Bruce Brown found that out the hard way in Game 5 when he only managed two points throughout 13 minutes of play. Now, oddsmakers did have him at under 14.2, but why would they set the expectation so high? It’s such an obvious under, especially with Brown only averaging 7.8 points per game in the postseason which allowed a lot of people to make a couple of bucks off of this one. Want easy money? Just go under when it comes to Brown on points!
#3 Shake Milton goes under on points in Game 5

Shake Milton was listed at over/under 7.5 in Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers, and while some were probably hoping for him to hit over that mark, he fell just short of it. In fact, when all was said in done, Shake Milton stood at just five points in 13 minutes. Now, that’s better than others on this list, but still is nothing to write home about. With that being said and Milton falling short of the mark on this one, maybe keep him in mind as a reliable under to make a few bucks. That is if they last in the playoffs much longer.
#2 Experts predict John Collins going under, but that’s not what ended up happening in Game 5

How can you drop the ball on John Collins? Believe it or not, oddsmakers had the gull to put John Collins at under 14.5 points in Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers, making his eventual total of 19 points so fulfilling. Of course, defeating the 76ers 109-106 and taking the series lead 3-2 had to feel good, but doing so in such dominating factor had to be a high all its own. Whether he can repeat this kind of performance in the days to come remains to be seen, but don’t underestimate John Collins when it comes to points prop bets.
#1 Brooke Lopez goes over on 3 point shots in Game 4

Waters wet, the sky is blue, and Brooke Lopez has become an absolute beast at the perimeter for the Milwaukee Bucks. That’s why oddsmakers put the former Brooklyn Nets player at over 1.5 3 point shots made over his former team in Game 5. Lopez ended up going 60% at the 3-point line when all was said and done, nailing 3 of 5 of them in their 114-108 loss to the Nets. Sure, that loss probably didn’t taste very good, especially now that they too are on the brink of elimination, but Lopez should be considered a trusted over when it comes to 3-point shots.
