They’re not playoff teams just yet, but the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors have been playing like playoff teams down the stretch. The only problem is only one can make it, or at least have a chance. The loser is headed home after this one, so let’s look at what players will be clutch in win-or-go-home games to bet the prop market for this one.

Bulls vs. Raptors best NBA prop bets

  • Zach LaVine under 25.5 points (-110)
  • DeMar DeRozan under 22.5 points (-120)
  • Pascal Siakam over 32.5 pts+rebs (-105)

Zach LaVine under 25.5 points (-110)

Zach LaVine has played in four playoff games in his career. All were last season against the Milwaukee Bucks and he scored under 20 points twice and his highest was 24 points in Game 4 of that series. Toronto has a lot of length and athleticism on the wings to slow down LaVine and his running mate.

DeMar DeRozan under 22.5 points (-120)

It’s important to me that we don’t forget how bad DeRozan consistently was in the playoffs when he was in Toronto. His team’s constantly disappointed, but he had a run of hitting clutch shots in the regular season last year, so for some reason that was washed away. He did have 41 points in Game 2 against Milwaukee last year, but in the other four games he averaged 15.75 points a game. He and LaVine were both held under 20 points back on February 28th, the last time these two teams played.

Pascal Siakam over 32.5 pts+rebs (-105)

Siakam does have a ring. I feel like I forget that sometimes because Kawhi Leonard isn’t in Toronto anymore. He’s had mixed results in the playoffs, but we know he won’t be scared of a Play-In game at home. In the four games in April he averaged 26.2 points and 8.8 rebounds. That includes two against the Celtics and one against the Bucks.
