The NBA Playoffs continue tonight with both No.1 seeds in action against the No.8 seeds.
The Miami Heat will look to even up the series one a piece against the No.1 seed Boston Celtics. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans will try to steal game 2 on the road against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Here are some interesting player prop bets heading into tonight's slate of NBA Playoff games.

NBA Playoffs Prop Bets: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC) Over 28.5 Points -128
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander came up big in his first ever playoff game, dropping 28 points in game one against the New Orleans Pelicans. Based on his regular season scoring tendencies, we can expect to see him efficiently replicate this performance.
SGA is a proven scorer who has shown he can come up big offensively throughout the regular season.
NBA Playoffs Prop Bets: Brandon Ingram (NOP) Over on 5.5 Rebounds -110
One main concern for the Pelicans heading into tonight's game is whether Brandon Ingram is healthy. He still seems to be recovering from the knee injury that has kept him out for most of March, and it showed in a dubious game-one performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Still, even with Ingram struggling, the Pelicans managed to almost steal game one as he snagged six rebounds in his last game.
With tying the series up on the line, the Pelicans could see a better game with Brandon Ingram matching his rebounding effort.
He had six in the Pelicans Play-In matchup against the Sacramento Kings and came close with four against the Los Angeles Lakers.
We are taking over on this one.

NBA Playoffs Prop Bets: Jrue Holiday (BOS) Over on 4.5 Assists +110
Jrue Holiday was brought to the Boston Celtics for his perimeter defense; however he has proven to be a contributor in other areas as well.
Holiday had a poor game 1, posting six points, seven rebounds, and three assists. However, it's a safe bet that Holiday's performance would pick up in game 2 based on what we've seen from him during the regular season.
Jrue Holiday's usage rate is significantly higher in Boston than it was in Milwaukee, which allows us to assume that he will have a bounce back game.

NBA Playoffs Prop Bets: Jaime Jaquez Jr. (MIA) Over 14.5 Points -106
After scoring just 94 points in game 1, the Miami Heat will be looking for an offensive spark from someone and could turn to Jaime Jaquez Jr. to pick up some of the offensive load without Jimmy Butler.
Throughout the season, Jaquez has regularly stepped up for the Heat in games without Butler. Jaime Jaquez Jr. has so far shown that he can perform when the pressure is on, dropping 21 points in their NBA Play-In game against the Chicago Bulls.
Jaquez is fresh off a productive 16-point performance in game 1 and can easily smash this prop in game 2.
