NBA Best Bets Today (May 6, 2025)

Andrew Nembhard 12+ Points

-140, Fanatics

Bet by Sam Choudhury

Andrew Nembhard has scored at least 15 points in five out of six (83.3%) games this postseason, including all four playing more than 30 minutes, averaging 16.3 points on 11.5 shots. Although the Cavs allow the fourth-fewest points to opposing shooting guards, Nembhard has scored 19-plus points in back-to-back games playing more than 15 minutes in Cleveland, continuing to step-up in the playoffs, dropping 23 points in 37 minutes, while shooting seven of 10 (70%) from the field this past weekend.

Evan Mobley Under 3.5 Assists

-145, DraftKings

Bet by Sam Choudhury

Evan Mobley has three or fewer assists in 45 out of 76 (59.2%) games, including each of the last six, averaging 3.1 assists per game. He’s topped two assists only once and never more than three in all five games this postseason, averaging 1.6 assists on 3.2 potential assists. With Darius Garland, who is currently listed as questionable, Mobley has been held to only one assist on two potential assists in both games with all the starters available. He has also failed to clear his 3.5 assists prop in each of the last four games against Indiana, averaging 1.5 assists on 5.5 potential assists during that span. The Pacers are allowing the third-most points plus rebounds to opposing power forwards, but the ninth-fewest assists to the position.
