The Magic and Pistons continue their first-round series with Game 5 in Detroit on Wednesday. The Magic lead this series 3-1 and can advance with a win. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Detroit is favored by 10.5 points and this game carries a total of 211.5 points.
Let’s dive into my favorite Desmond Bane player prop for Wednesday’s contest.
Best Desmond Bane prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Desmond Bane 2+ points in the first three minutes (+100)
At this plus-money price, Bane is a stellar bet for this early game prop. Franz Wagner (calf) is listed as questionable, but he didn’t participate in shootaround this morning and isn’t expected to play tonight.
Wagner has missed 50 games this season and in those tilts, Bane was quick to get on the board, leading the Magic with 1.9 PPG in the first three minutes while shooting a ridiculous 73% from the field.
Bane handles a 24.5% usage rate with Wagner off the floor and Bane has scored at least two points in the first three minutes in seven of his past 10 with Wagner inactive, including once vs. the Pistons. Bane just exposed Detroit for 25 and 22 points in the last two games of this series, and the veteran should open Game 5 tonight with some quick points as Orlando looks to end this series.
