The 2026 NBA Playoffs are heating up with some of the league's brightest stars taking the court on Wednesday, May 6. Notably, Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs is coming off a record-breaking performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1, where he set a new NBA postseason mark with 12 blocks. For Game 2, his over/under for total blocks stands at 4.5, but the SportsLine Projection Model predicts he will fall short, projecting an average of 2.9 blocks.

In the matchup between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers, OG Anunoby is expected to shine. The Knicks forward has scored 22 or more points in three of his last five games, with an over/under for points + rebounds set at 22.5. SportsLine expert Mike Barner believes this could be a lucrative bet, especially since Anunoby managed 18 points and three rebounds in just three quarters during the previous game.

Top NBA Player Prop Picks for Wednesday:

• OG Anunoby (Knicks): Over 22.5 points + rebounds
• Rudy Gobert (Timberwolves): Under 19.5 points + rebounds
• Victor Wembanyama (Spurs): Under 4.5 blocks

Barner points out Gobert's defensive skills, noting he averaged only 7.6 points and 10.6 rebounds across the playoffs, making it hard to see him exceeding the projected total against Wembanyama. With the SportsLine Projection Model boasting a 74% success rate on top-rated NBA spread picks this season, bettors are encouraged to consider these insights before placing their wagers.
