Two more teams face elimination Wednesday night in the NBA Playoffs, as the New York Knicks aim to close out the Boston Celtics and the Minnesota Timberwolves seek to end the Golden State Warriors’ lengthy dynasty. We’ve analyzed the player props for both contests and present our top NBA picks below.

**NBA Player Prop Picks – May 14th** **Krisztops Porzingis Under 15.5 Points (-115 at Bet365)** Krisztops Porzingis has struggled significantly in Round 2, and while the absence of Jayson Tatum might theoretically boost his output, it’s unlikely to dramatically change his performance. In Game 4’s 121-113 Knicks victory, Porzingis scored only seven points, pushing New York to the brink of elimination as they return to Boston. Something clearly isn’t right; the effects of an illness have impacted his game and energy levels. He’s averaging a meager 17.5 minutes per game and hasn’t surpassed the 10-point mark. Furthermore, Porzingis averages just 4.5 shot attempts per game and is a dismal 1-for-5 from three-point range throughout the series. This line represents a return to the Porzingis of the past – a truly dominant, 'unicorn' player. That version of Porzingis is no longer present. Given the circumstances and his recent performance, betting on him to stay below 15.5 points is a sensible strategy.

**Mikal Bridges Over 4.5 Three-Point Attempts (-145 at Bet365)** Jalen Brunson is arguably New York’s most clutch player, but the Knicks’ success hinges on the consistent contributions of Mikal Bridges. Bridges is New York’s primary defensive ace who also delivers crucial buckets at the most opportune moments. While Bridges’ 23.8% three-point shooting percentage against Boston this series appears low, he’s still enabling the Knicks’ offensive flow by attempting more than five three-point attempts per game. Notably, he’s exceeded the 4.5 attempt line in three of the last four games, including both contests played in Boston. With a closeout opportunity on the horizon, Bridges is poised to maintain this formula, contributing significantly to the Knicks’ scoring efforts. His ability to generate shots and create open looks will be vital in a competitive game.

**Branin Podziemski Under 1.5 Three-Point Makes (-115 at Bet365)** Similar to the struggles of Krisztops Porzingis, Branin Podziemski’s performance has been a significant disappointment throughout this series. Game 4 marked his best scoring output of the series, with 11 points, but this came on an inefficient 3-for-14 shooting night, including a goose egg on his four three-point attempts. Podziemski’s overall shooting line sits at a dismal 22.5% for the series, and even more concerning is his 17.6% clip from beyond the arc. Despite these numbers, the books have set his make line to 1.5, likely reflecting the challenging circumstances. With Steph Curry sidelined due to a hamstring injury, everything is becoming more difficult for the Warriors’ offense, and Podziemski is among those suffering the most.
