The Denver Nuggets are just one win away from the NBA Finals, and their role players have been a huge reason why against the Los Angeles Lakers.
I have two role players that I'm targeting in the prop market for Game 4, as well as Lakers star Anthony Davis.
Let's break down the props for the fourth, and potentially final, game of the Western Conference Finals:
Nuggets vs. Lakers best NBA prop bets
- Kentavious Caldwell-Pope OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made
- Anthony Davis OVER 3.5 Steals and Blocks
- Bruce Brown OVER 0.5 3-Pointers Made
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has now made multiple shots from beyond the arc in four straight playoff games, taking 25 shots from deep in those contests.
I don't mind a play on KCP's points prop (10.5), but we know he's going to see looks from deep with the Lakers focusing in on Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
Caldwell-Pope has made his former team pay in this series, shooting 9-for-20 from beyond the arc. I'll ride with him to stay hot in Game 4.
Anthony Davis OVER 3.5 Steals and Blocks
I think we're getting a little value on this prop after Anthony Davis fell short of it in Game 3.
In the playoffs, Davis has at least four steals and blocks in 11 of his 15 games averaging 3.1 blocks and 1.4 steals per contest.
The Nuggets only turned the ball over six times in Game 3, which contributed to Davis' low steal numbers, but he still picked up two blocks in the loss. I expect a bounce-back game from AD in a must-win for Los Angeles.
Bruce Brown OVER 0.5 3-Pointers Made
Another day, another Bruce Brown 3-point prop.
Brown has made a shot from beyond the arc in five straight games and six of his last seven, while seeing his volume from deep increase as well.
The veteran guard took a series-high five shots from 3 in Game 3, although he made just one. The bright side for prop bettors is Bruce has at least four attempts from deep in four of his last five, and if he takes that many again, he's bound to make one.
The Nuggets guard shot 35.8 percent from 3 during the regular season, so he's certainly more than capable of knocking them down.
