Best Paolo Banchero Prop Bet for Pistons vs. Magic Game 4
Best Bet: Paolo Banchero Over 13.5 Rebounds + Assists (-120)
Say what you will about Paolo Banchero — he knows how to deliver when push comes to shove. The 2022 first overall pick has averaged roughly 27 points, nine rebounds, and five assists in his playoff career, which comprises 15 games over the last three seasons. That momentum has carried into this first-round series with the Pistons.
Banchero, 23, has averaged 22 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists across the first three games, good for 16 combined rebounds and assists. He has cleared 13.5 R+A — just under his regular-season output of 13.6 — in the back-to-back contests. He put up 14 R+A in Game 2 before erupting for 21 R+A in the Game 3 victory.
With the Magic hungry to reach the postseason’s second round for the first time since 2010, expect the franchise cornerstone to do his part. Banchero has seemingly never seen a spotlight too bright, and with the hometown crowd behind him, he should comfortably clear 13.5 R+A in Game 4.
