The NBA‘s postseason continues tonight with a trio of Game 2 matchups. The action tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET as the Minnesota Timberwolves host the Phoenix Suns, followed by the Indiana Pacers battling the Milwaukee Bucks and the Dallas Mavericks taking on the LA Clippers.
Below, I have outlined three of my best player prop bets, beginning with Bucks star point guard Damian Lillard, who is coming off an electric performance in Game 1.
