Best NBA Bets Today, May 12 — Joel Embiid to have at least 26 points (-117)

Entering Game 6, 76ers center Joel Embiid is averaging 19.7 points, nine rebounds and 1.7 assists per game versus the Heat in this second-round series. In Game 3, Embiid ended his performance with 18 points, 11 rebounds and one assist. Then, in the following contest, the five-time All-Star put up 24 points. However, he closed out his Game 5 outing with 17 points at FTX Arena.

Since tonight’s game is being played at Wells Fargo Center, Embiid should score a minimum of 20 points. But will he score at least 26 points? During the postgame press conference of Game 5, the center questioned the credibility of MVP voters.

While he still desires a ring, Embiid wanted to win the MVP award as well. Now that his team is facing elimination tonight, maybe he’ll prove to everyone why he should have won the award with another double-double performance. Think about taking this bet.

NBA Player Prop Bets Today, May 12 — Jimmy Butler to have 25+ points and the Heat win (+198)

Additionally, Heat guard Jimmy Butler is averaging 26.6 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists in this second-round series against the 76ers. In the first matchup, Butler finished with 15 points, nine rebounds and three assists. Next, he generated 22 points in Game 2. Then, the guard closed out Game 3 with 33 points, 10 rebounds and two assists. After that, Butler scored 40 points in Game 4.

Not to mention, the 11th-year player put up 23 points in the Heat’s 120-85 win over the 76ers in Game 5. Can Jimmy Butler be trusted to score at least 25 points? Yes, but will the Heat also win tonight to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals? Bettors might skip over this prop because the 76ers have better odds of winning on their own home court. Nonetheless, the outcome is in the cards.

Best NBA Player Props Today, May 12 — Jae Crowder to make at least two 3-pointers (-154)

Lastly, Suns forward Jae Crowder is averaging 12.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in this second-round series versus the Mavericks. Plus, he is shooting 46.7% from downtown against Dallas. This percentage is based on Crowder shooting 14-for-30 from beyond the arc. In Game 1, the 10th-year veteran made three 3-pointers in the Suns’ 121-114 victory. Then, the forward sank three 3-pointers in Game 2.

Furthermore, Crowder nailed five threes in Game 3. Though, the forward has been cold from long range these last couple of contests. Crowder shot 2-for-7 from 3-point range in Game 4. On Tuesday, he only made one three based on five attempts in Game 5 as well. Considering Game 6 is at the American Airlines Center, Crowder will likely make at least two 3-pointers. After all, he made five on the road in the third game.
