The 2022 NBA playoffs continue Monday night with a pair of NBA Conference Semifinal openers, and there is plenty of star power left in this postseason. The night tips off in Miami with 76ers vs. Heat at 7:30 p.m. ET and wraps up in Phoenix with Mavericks vs. Suns at 10 p.m. ET. James Harden will lead the Sixers in the absence of Joel Embiid, and Jimmy Butler will carry the load for Miami with Kyle Lowry out. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic and the Mavericks will be trying to topple the top-seeded Suns led by Devin Booker. 

There are several players from each team you can look to for player props, and you can cash in if you do your research and can find the value. Before you decide on any of your NBA prop picks, you'll want to see the top picks from props expert Alex Selesnick.

Over the past two-plus seasons, Selesnick (aka PropStarz) is up more than 239 units on NBA props and futures plays. For a $100 bettor, that's a return of almost $24,000. So far this season he is 306-216, up more than 60 units, on his prop plays. PropStarz specializes in NFL and NBA prop betting, where he implements a combination of research, statistical analysis and mathematical modeling. His background playing competitive poker, Scrabble and backgammon helped form the foundation of his sports betting approach.

Now, after sifting through the hundreds of available NBA prop bets for Monday's NBA Playoffs matchups, Selesnick has found three picks he loves. 

One bet he thinks will cash: Harden will go Under 25.5 points (-115) in the Sixers' series opener against the Heat. The combination of a strong Miami defense and Harden's numbers this season leave PropStarz no choice but to fade the Philadelphia star. Harden has not reached 26 points in his past 13 games and averaged 19 points in the first round against Toronto. 

Selesnick has locked in two other CONFIDENT prop bets, and he is strongly backing another star who elevates his game come playoff time. PropStarz has been on fire with his predictions, and you NEED to see these picks before locking in your bets.
