NBA Playoffs Prop Bets – Suns vs Spurs Game 3 Part I

Who’s ready to make some NBA Prop Bets?

With Game 3 of the Suns-Spurs series set to get under way, there are plenty of great ones on the board. Let’s look at some of the best, as we head into Friday night’s pivotal third game:

Steve Nash- Over 10 ½ Assists (-115) or Under 10 ½ Assists (-115): Where else would we start, other than with the NBA’s elite point guard?

Nash has been on fire in these playoffs, and all season long really, and despite being 36-years-old is playing as well as he ever has. So far this postseason, he’s been as good as advertised, averaging 17.8 points and 9.4 assists, and has been as instrumental as any player in the Suns going up 2-0 against San Antonio in their Western Conference semifinal.

However, Nash has not been dishing out the ball at the rate he did in the regular season, as he’s gone over 10 assists only one time in these playoffs. And speaking of these playoffs, it was Game 2 of this series, where Nash had his lowest assist output of the season, handing out only six.

Nash is still a superstar, and as good as any point guard in this league. But heading on the road, and not getting a ton of assists as it is, it seems unlikely he’ll go over 10 ½ in Friday night’s game. Take the UNDER in this prop NBA betting.

Tim Duncan- Over 10 ½ Rebounds (-110) or Under 10 ½ Rebounds (-110): Heading back home to San Antonio, you’ve really got to assume that the Spurs will be in much better shape to steal a win than they were in Phoenix. So does that mean that Duncan will return to his MVP form of a few years ago?

Probably not, but at the same time remember, he is still an above average rebounder and defender. He’s averaged 9.8 rebounds in these playoffs and exactly 10.5 in this series against the Suns. With no one other Amare Stoudemire to occasionally defend him, is there any reason to think that Duncan won’t get at least 11 rebounds?

The play here is the OVER. Duncan knows that this could be his last great postseason run in a Spurs uniform, and knows that a win in Game 3 isn’t optional, it’s mandatory.

He’ll have his best game of this series, and easily go OVER this NBA Playoffs prop bet.

Tony Parker- Over 25 ½ Points + Assists (-125) or Under 25 ½ Points + Assists (-105): After coming back from an injury late in the season, Parker has given way to George Hill in the starting lineup, and his numbers have suffered. Parker is averaging just 17 points and five assists in this postseason, both well below his career averages.

But while he’s still coming off the bench, Parker’s minutes have increased in this series over the last, and he’s responded with two great games against Phoenix, averaging 23 points and 5.5 assists in their two contests.

Back on his home court, and with the Spurs backs against the walls, expect Parker to have his best game yet.

There’s no reason to think that Parker won’t easily eclipse 25 ½ points and assists combined, meaning that when it comes to this NBA Playoffs Prop Bet, definitely take the OVER.
