Top NBA Plays Thursday April 28th|Closing Out

We've got three Game 6's tonight with Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Dallas trying to punch their tickets to the second round. The Raptors, Pelicans, and Jazz all try to force a Game 7 - which the NBA and TV executives would love them to do.

Let's see how what should be a thrilling night breaks down:

🏀Top Player Props April 28th 🏀

LineStar has a new Player Prop tab that lets you search for the best individual props through apps such as DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and PointsBet. Here are some of the best bets for tonight:

🏀CJ McCollum (Over 2.5 three pointers) - Heading back here even though he was 1-8 in Game 5. At least he's launching with 8+ attempts in all five games this series.

🏀Jonas Valanciunas (Over 12.5 rebounds) - He's been great on the boards this series averaging over 15. Has 12.5+ in 4 of 5 games this series

🏀Tobias Harris (Over 7.5 rebounds) -He grabbed 11.5 rebounds in the two games in Toronto this series and is averaging 9.2 this series

🏀Jordan Clarkson (Over 16.5 points) - Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) minutes may be limited but Clarkson has still gone for 20+ in 3 of the last 4 games this series

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

76ers (-1.5) @ Raptors , O/U 209 7:00 ET

Philadelphia has let Toronto climb back into this series even after the Sixers were up 3-0. There's still no Fred VanVleet for the Raptors, but the big question is what is the health of Joel Embiid's thumb? The big man has been held below 40 fp the last two games, but has also been idle since Monday.

James Harden has been pretty nonexistent this series with a high point tally of just 22. Tyrese Maxey has also crashed hard after averaging 50fp in the first two games, being held to 30 or less in three straight.

Suns (-2) @ Pelicans, O/U 214 7:30 ET

The Suns came into this postseason as the #1 overall seed, but they're in grave danger of heading back to a Game 7. These two teams have alternated wins and losses in each game this series and the New Orleans crowd was very intense in Game 4, flustering Chris Paul and Aaron Holiday into technical fouls.

Brandon Ingram had a string of 30+ real points snapped on Tuesday, but he still has value back at home.

Mavericks @ Jazz (-1), O/U 209 10:00 ET

The Jazz are a bit banged up - Donovan Mitchell is battling a hamstring tweak and Rudy Gobert got stung by one of his own bees. Utah is still at home where they're 30-13 on the year, but the Mavs won Game 3 in Salt Lake City and had a 4-point lead with :40 left before falling 100-99. Looks like a Mavs night.

Tonight's Point Guard / Shooting Guard Notables

Jalen Brunson DK $7.2k | FD $7.6k @ Utah

  • Hasn't seen a horrible drop in usage with Luka Doncic back, still scoring 23.5 ppg and averaging 19 shots the last two

  • May be guarded by Donovan Mitchell with a bad hamstring

Jordan Clarkson DK $5.8k | FD $6.3k vs. Dallas

  • Mitchell is banged up, and Clarkson has been in the perfect lineup in two straight

  • 9-16 and 9-15 shooting last two games, averaging 6X this price

Tonight's SF / PF Notables

Brandon Ingram DK $9k | FD $9k vs. Phoenix

  • Toss-up between him and Pascal Siakam ($9.3k) but Siakam is projected higher

  • Ingram has 30+ real points in 3 of 4 and has taken at least 19 shots in 4 straight

  • Shot 53% from the floor in the two home games this series

Mikal Bridges DK $6k | FD $6.7k @ New Orleans

  • He finally stepped up in Booker's absence on Tuesday, hitting 12 of 17 shots en route to 52fp

  • Probably won't hit 50+ again, but 6X is very doable with a fatigued Paul deferring a bit more last game

Tonight's Center Position Notables

Jonas Valanciunas DK $7.5k | FD $7.8k vs Phoenix

  • He's had a solid series averaging 15.4 points and 15.6 rebounds

  • Shooting over 60% from the floor last two games
