Raptors vs. Cavaliers
James Harden Player Prop
The Cavaliers dominated Game 1 of their first-round series against the Raptors, and their lead playmaker had his way from start to finish as a passer.
The Beard seems likely to do the same on Monday.
James Harden's assist average has dropped from 8.1 to 7.7 since the Clippers traded him to the Cleveland.
While he's only played the Raptors once as a Cavalier, he's not new to success against Toronto. He tallied 10 assists in his one regular-season meeting with the Raptors as a Clipper, before dishing out 10 dimes against them on Saturday.
The pick-and-roll maestro dished out six dimes in the first half over the weekend and likely could've blown past his final total of 10 had Cleveland not built a significant lead in the second half of the contest.
Harden has totaled eight or more assists in seven of his previous 10 meetings with Toronto and appears set to continue setting the table for this postseason's highest-scoring offense.
Pick: James Harden Over 7.5 Assists (+107)
Hawks vs. Knicks
Dyson Daniels Player Prop
Dyson Daniels' historically bad outside shooting has been a sight to see this season, but the Hawks guard showcased his other strengths against the Knicks over the weekend.
The Australian defensive specialist has become increasingly more involved as a rebounder and passer in April, and it appears that trend will continue in the playoffs.
Only Jalen Johnson (63) has totaled more rebounds than Daniels among Atlanta's players (55) in April, and no player can top Daniels' mark of 44 assists over the Hawks' previous six games.
There's a reason he's averaging 38.2 minutes per game (three games) against New York this season. He makes impactful plays even when he's not scoring.
Daniels combined for 15.4 assists and rebounds per game during the regular season and kicked off the playoffs by amassing 20.
Bettors shouldn't expect him to fall off a cliff in the second installment of this series.
Pick: Dyson Daniels Over 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-130)
Timberwolves vs. Nuggets
Jamal Murray Player Prop
Playoff Murray is back in full effect for the Nuggets' first-round series against the Timberwolves.
Nikola Jokic is the engine that makes everything go, but Jamal Murray was far more aggressive as a scorer in Game 1 over the weekend.
Murray amassed a game-high 30 points on 22 shots and was a perfect 16-for-16 from the free-throw line on Saturday. He remains one of the league's premier postseason risers and routinely gets off to hot starts in the early rounds.
He's ramped it up against Minnesota all season and seems driven to keep up his hot streak.
The former Kentucky Wildcat boasts a regular-season scoring average of 31.5 points per game against the Timberwolves this season. He attempted 26.3 shots against them per contest across four pairings.
It'll be hard to bet against another strong performance on Monday, especially given that track record.
Pick: Jamal Murray Over 26.5 Points (-110)
