It's Saturday, May 1. Here is what the data is telling us for tonight's NBA player props ⏬

---

Warriors @ Rockets

PLAYER: Kelly Olynyk

BET: 🔥 OVER 18.5 points with Unibet (-106)

Even with the meteoric rise of Kevin Porter Jr for the Rockets, Houston has been able to rely on a steady stream of points out of Kelly Olynyk as well. He has scored 20+ points in seven of his last nine games. It's strange that his points prop total is so low but we'll gladly take it.

Pelicans @ Timberwolves

PLAYER: Zion Williamson

BET: 🔥 OVER 28.5 points with FanDuel Sportsbook (-120)

You just know we had to hit you with some Zion.

The Prop King has had a bit of a down period over his last five games, only eclipsing 30 points once, but our data is anticipating a bounce back against a Wolves team that doesn't really like playing defense. All hail the Prop King!

Raptors @ Jazz

PLAYER: OG Anunoby

BET: 🔥 OVER 18.5 points with PointsBet (-106)

OG has been on a tear recently, scoring 20 points or more in each of his last six games. With our data projections predicting a tighter than anticipated game in Utah, look for Anunoby to get a lot of minutes on his way to making it seven in a row Over his prop total.

Nuggets @ Clippers

PLAYER: Michael Porter Jr

BET: 🔥 OVER 23.5 points BetMGM  (+100)

MPJR is the man right now. The young Nuggets star has benefitted most from the injury to Jamal Murray, averaging 29.4 points over his last five games. Even against the might of the LA Clippers defensive stocks, the even money on offer for Porter to go Over is far too tempting. Our projections have him down for 24.
