For player props, rebounds for Alex Caruso and Patrick Williams could be worth looking at as the Wizards struggled to keep the Indiana Pacers’ wings off the glass in Game 1. Nikola Vucevic is worth a look at points scored as well with Zach LaVine sidelined again, especially if Adjiva can play as he would likely be the main defender on DeMar DeRozan.

For the Wizards, Kristaps Porzingis’ props are worth looking into being matched up with Vucevic. He could be in line for more assist opportunities and scoring as well. Kyle Kuzma has become a great rebounder, as his props in that stat could be worth a shot.
Hesitancy should be shown if looking to play any Bradley Beal stats outside of scoring.
