Mikal Bridges Over 27.5 Points (-112)

The Brooklyn Nets are looking for a bounceback win against the Detroit Pistons tonight.

In the final week of the season, there aren't many teams that have the full motivation to play and win, but the Nets are one of them. We see the Nets as 11.0-point road favorites with a game total sitting at 218.0 points. While this isn't the highest total on the slate, we should see full minutes for the Nets' starters, meaning consistency for their player props.

We turn to Mikal Bridges, who has been over this 27.5 prop mark in three of his last five games, with the other two games being at 27 and 24 points. Bridges is rocking a 29.1% offensive usage rate, which is the highest among the Nets' starting lineup. He's averaging over 22 field goal attempts per game over his last five, along with 7.2 three-point attempts per game.

Bridges will have plenty of chances to pile up the points against a weak Pistons defense. Currently, the Pistons are allowing the fourth-most (25.03) points per game to opposing shooting guards, making this a clear matchup to target tonight.

Clint Capela Over 11.5 Rebounds (+106)

Next up, over 11.5 rebounds for Clint Capela.

The Atlanta Hawks are 11.5-point favorites at home to host the Washington Wizards with a big 234.0-point over/under. While the Wizards are eliminated from the playoffs, the Hawks are fighting for every win to secure their play-in seeding.

With the Wizards eliminated from the playoffs, we've seen them play at a faster pace in recent games. Over their last three games, both teams are in the league's top 10 in offensive pace, giving us a strong game environment.

Also, over the last three games, the Wizards are allowing opponents to rack up 55.3 rebounds per game, which is in the bottom 10. All of this should make things a bit easier for Capela, who is one of the high-upside rebounders in the NBA.

Over his last 10 games, Capela has rebound totals of 14, 16, 17, 16, and 12. With the Hawks in a spot where they need to win and a favorable matchup, Capela is primed for another big game on the glass.

Fred VanVleet Under 2.5 Made Threes (+122)

Finally, we turn to under 2.5 made threes for Fred VanVleet.

The Toronto Raptors have a tougher matchup tonight on the road to face the Boston Celtics, a team that can limit the production from their opponents. The Celtics have the fourth-best defensive efficiency this season and can clamp things down when necessary.

We see this when it comes to their opponent's production from downtown, which is lacking, to say the least. The Celtics only allow opponents to make 11.7 three-pointers per game, putting them at the sixth-fewest in the league.

That doesn't inspire confidence when it comes to VanVleet's three-point prop. I'll shoot for some plus money in what is a tough matchup for VanVleet.
