2022 NBA player props, odds and picks: Proven expert includes Joel Embiid among his best bets for Monday, April 18

The NBA playoffs continue on Monday night with three Game 2s: Raptors at 76ers (7:30 p.m. ET), Jazz at Mavericks (8:30 p.m.) and Nuggets at Warriors (10 p.m.). Among the stars who will be playing are Joel Embiid, James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Nikola Jokic and Steph Curry. That means there are many opportunities for you to lock in some NBA player props. 

Each game has plenty of potential options for NBA prop bets, and doing your homework can help you find the value and cash in. 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 231 units on NBA props and futures plays. For a $100 bettor, that's a return of $23,100. So far this season he is 280-198, up more than 52 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, Selesnick has found three picks he loves. 

One bet he thinks will cash: Sixers big man Joel Embiid to go Under 17.5 total Rebounds and Assists (-130). "This is a very large number for Embiid in what projects to be a slow-paced game," Selesnick says.

He has locked in two other CONFIDENT prop bets, including one on a player who is "set to play monster minutes," Selesnick says. He has been on fire with his predictions, and you NEED to see these picks before locking in your bets.
