The NBA Playoffs continue tonight with another slate of great games.

Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks will host the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. While the young Orlando Magic face the Cleveland Cavaliers, and LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers look to even it up against the reigning NBA Champion Denver Nuggets

With each road team looking to tie their series up at one a piece, here are some player prop bets to consider heading into tonight's games.

NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets: Knicks Jalen Brunson Over 31.5 Points at -102

The New York Knicks pulled out a game 1 win against the Philadelphia 76ers despite a rare off night from their star guard Jalen Brunson.

Brunson did manage to come away with 22 points in the first game against the 76ers, but did so with a poor shooting performance, as he went 7-22 from the field.

We do expect Brunson to have fewer off-shooting nights in the postseason starting tonight as the 76ers are more eager to even up the series following games three and four.

This should incentivize Jalen Brunson to have a classic takeover game in the Garden before the series heads over to Philadelphia.

NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets: 76ers Tyrese Maxey Over 25.5 Points at -113

With game 2 being so significant and Joel Embiid still being shaken up from the knee injury that kept him out for most of the regular season; we can expect another strong scoring performance from Tyrese Maxey.

Maxey did all he could to keep the 76ers afloat during game 1 in scoring 33 points.

Despite the 76ers guard playing 44 minutes in Saturday's matchup, we can still expect to see another strong game from Tyrese Maxey in an attempt to even the series, shattering this line of 25.5 points in the process.

NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets: Magic Paolo Banchero Over 22.5 Points at -113

In his first ever playoff game of his career, Paolo Banchero did not disappoint.

In his inaugural NBA playoff game, Banchero scored 24 points, seven rebounds, and five assists on 9-17 shooting.

Despite his solid scoring performance the Orlando Magic as a collective shot and scored a miserable 32.6 points from the floor, failing to find easy shots throughout the game.

With the team needing to find their offense from somewhere, and based on his game one performance, Paola Banchero will have to carry the Orlando Magic scoring load.

NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets: Cavaliers Jarrett Allen Over 11.5 Rebounds at +100

Jarrett Allen was impressive during Saturday's game for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cav's big man came away with a double-double, scoring 16 points and grabbing 18 rebounds against Jonathan Isaac, the Magic's starting center.

Allen has been a consistent force in the paint for the Cavaliers throughout the regular season, cleaning the glass and blocking shots; which gave them an edge in game one. We can expect Jarrett Allen's rebounding trend to continue in tonight's game 2 vs. the Orlando Magic and throughout the NBA postseason.

NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets: Lakers LeBron James Over 25.5 Points at -111

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James started game 1 against the Denver Nuggets hot, scoring 19 points in the first half, showcasing his NBA postseason scoring prowess.

Despite the stellar first half, James took his foot off the gas during the second half, only scoring six points.

The Lakers won't win a game in this series if LeBron James doesn't assert his dominance. Expect a better scoring outing from James in game two with a chance to tie things up.

NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets: Nuggets Nikola Jokic Over 8.5 Assists at -128

Nikola Jokic was sensational in game 1 vs. the Lakers, scoring 32 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists to give his Denver Nuggets the win.

Jokic's passing has been a staple of his game throughout his career, easily finding the open man in setting up his teammates.

With a chance to even up the series, the Los Angeles Lakers may do everything in their power to stop Nikola Jokic from scoring, which may result in a big passing night from the Joker.
