NBA Playoffs 5/11 Preview: Celtics Vs. 76ers

A pair of elimination games highlight Thursday&#8217;s NBA postseason schedule as the Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets look to close out their respective series against the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns.
Using <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/player-props">SportsGrid&#8217;s Player Props Model</a>, I&#8217;ve highlighted three top plays, starting with Philadelphia&#8217;s star big man.
Note: All odds courtesy of <a href="http://FanDuel.com/grid">FanDuel Sportsbook</a>.
<h2>PHI Joel Embiid OVER 30.5 Points vs. Celtics (-104)</h2>
SportsGrid Model Rating = 4.5/5 Stars 
Model Projection = 33.1
Boston has had no answer for the league MVP, Embiid scoring 33 and 34 points, respectively, over the past two games, resulting in 76er victories. The 29-year-old is getting to the line at will, attempting double-digit free throws in each of Games 3-5. As the scene shifts back to Philadelphia for Game 6, I think Embiid continues his aggressive approach as he looks to lead the Sixers to their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2001. Give me the OVER.
<h2>DEN Jamal Murray OVER 0.5 Steals vs. Suns (-225)</h2>
SportsGrid Model Rating = 3/5 Stars 
Model Projection = 1.2
Phoenix is averaging 11.4 turnovers in the series, with Murray recording at least one swipe in three straight games and four of his past five. That&#8217;s enough for me to back the Canadian despite the -225 betting line. Give me Jamal Murray OVER 0.5 steals.
<h2>BOS Al Horford OVER 1.5 Made Threes vs. 76ers (-156)</h2>
SportsGrid Model Rating = 3/5 Stars 
Model Projection = 2.1
After declaring himself an &#8220;elite shooter," Horford went scoreless in Game 5, missing all seven of his three-point attempts. Despite that forgettable performance, I will give Big Al a look tonight with the Celtics&#8217; season on the line. The veteran made at least two triples in two straight games before Tuesday&#8217;s clunker, including a 5-7 effort in Game 3. Horford&#8217;s volume has also been encouraging, with the 36-year-old attempting seven or more treys in four consecutive outings. I think Horford responds, and I like him to go OVER tonight&#8217;s 1.5 made threes prop.
