I get that role players play better at home, but he hasn’t had the same magic this series. 53.2% of shots come from 3PT & 2+ 3PM is +225 @ DK. Additionally, he shares court w/ Schroder + Rui in 2nd unit. #PlayerProps

B.Brown o10.5 Pts-106

The Lakers struggle with ball-handlers and in transition, making this a sneaky good spot for Brown. Lakers also don’t have a good matchup for his size. Over in 5/6 games vs LAL. I have him at 25 minutes and 13 points.

D.Russell o1.5 3pt M-130

1.3u

2+ 3PM in 5/6 home games. I was encouraged to see him play 6 extra MIN despite the narrative against him in Game 2. Ham wants him in as weapon to space the floor. Shooting 39.5% at home compared to 24.5% on the road.#PlayerProps

Quietly on a rampage, achieving this in 5 of L6 games. Against LAL, Jokic avg. 93.5 Passes Made (#1) on 21.0 Potential (#1), due to sending help on post-ups. FD set U9.5 AST @ +154. 27.5 Reb Chances as well. #PlayersProps

Reaves has been dynamite over his last 5 games avg 26.5 PA on 37 mins per game with increased Usage and 3 volume in the last 2 vs Denver. He’s a foul merchant and I’m expecting some extra FTs at home today.
