With two games on tap for Monday's NBA playoff slate, we cover the most intriguing player prop bets available.

Clint Capela Over/Under 13.5 points

Capela has improved in the scoring department in each season, up to a career-high 16.6 points per game this season. However, the Houston Rockets center has been held in check by the Utah Jazz's defense this year, scoring fewer than 13 points in five of the teams' six meetings.

Blake Griffin Over/Under 33.5 points + rebounds + assists

Griffin re-entered the Detroit Pistons' fold in Game 3 after the missing the first two playoff contests, putting up 27 points, seven boards, and six assists over roughly 30 minutes. He's had a lot of success against the Milwaukee Bucks this season, averaging 24.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 6.8 assists while going over 33.5 points, rebounds, and assists in all five games he's been active in.

Brook Lopez Over/Under 1.5 made threes

Lopez never attempted more than 14 3-pointers in a single season through his first eight years in the league. His volume has skyrocketed since - he's jacked up more than 300 in each of the previous three seasons. He's at a career-best 36.9 percent from downtown this year and hasn't been shy about stretching the floor for the Bucks, attempting at least five threes in 13 of his last 15 games dating back to the regular season.

Jae Crowder Over/Under 10.5 points

Crowder averaged 11.9 points per game this season and poured in double figures in three of the four regular-season contests against the Rockets. In the three playoff games against Houston, however, he's shot 3-for-15 from deep and 4-for-21 from the field overall, failing to reach double digits in any game.

James Harden Over/Under 7.5 assists

This is right on the money of Harden's average of 7.5 assists per game this season. He racked up 19 total assists in four meetings against the Jazz during the regular season, but he has 10 in each of the three playoff wins.
