The NBA Playoffs are heating up, and Sunday's slate is packed with potential for big performances and smart betting moves. As the second round intensifies, our data-driven model has pinpointed three player prop bets that stand out for May 10.

First, keep an eye on Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle. After a strong 21-point outing in Game 1 against the Spurs, Randle has cooled off with just 12 points in each of the last two games. That dip has set his points over/under at 17.5 for Game 4. Our SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, forecasts a bounce-back performance of 20.1 points. This makes Randle a prime candidate to exceed expectations and find his rhythm again.

Meanwhile, in the Knicks-76ers series, Mikal Bridges is drawing attention as a reliable scoring option. Bridges dropped 23 points in his last game against Philadelphia, and his Game 4 over/under sits at 15.5 points. With New York leading 3-0, the Knicks may rest OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns has been battling foul trouble. That opens the door for Bridges to step up as a key complement to Jalen Brunson. As our expert Doug Kralstein notes, "Mikal Bridges looks like himself, and his touches and shot attempts are up significantly."

Finally, don't overlook Karl-Anthony Towns' assist prop. Despite limited minutes due to fouls, Towns has consistently hit his assist mark. "We are going to continue riding Karl-Anthony Towns' assist prop," says SportsLine expert David Bearman. "He's hitting it even in games where he plays limited minutes."

Our model has a proven track record, returning over $10,000 in profit for $100 bettors on top-rated NBA picks over the past eight-plus seasons. This year, it's on a scorching 26-9 roll (74%) on spread picks entering the second round. Whether you're looking to add some edge to your game-day experience or just want to follow the action more closely, these prop bets offer a smart way to stay engaged with the playoff drama.
