1.13u

S/O to @PropBetGuy for the assist. 19+ PRA in five straight games. Malone has cut Braun’s MIN & playing seven guys. B2B games Brown played all 12 Q4 MIN. Avg. 11.0 REB Chances & 6.9 Potential Assists in this sample size. #PlayerProps

A.Davis u26.5 Pts-121

Feels inflated. Need to have an efficient game w/ few errors. Under in 10 of L15 games. USG% 📉: 31.2 -> 26.5 -> 23.7. Rui starting can hurt that more. Last game he had 28 PTS but 10 of them came from put-backs.#PlayerProps

A.Gordon u5.5 Rebs-110

1.1u

Under in 3/3. Using most of his energy on defense guarding LeBron. Avg. 3.3 RPG this series on 6.7 REB Chances. Six of his his 10 REB are offensive. Foul trouble risk & he can also lose minutes to J. Green in the 4th. #PlayerProps

J.Murray o5.5 Ast-125

B.Brown o18.5 Pts+Rebs+Ast-122

1.22u

See my write up from last game for why I like Brown overall in this series. Over in L5, in over in 7/L8 with 24+ minutes. Over in 3/4 vs LAL in reg season.

A.Reaves o2.5 3pt M+110

Bet at Bet365. Hit in 6 straight. Minus odds everywhere else.

A.Gordon u20.5 Pts+Rebs+Ast-125

@ChrisRaybon

A.Gordon u20.5 Pts+Rebs+Ast-120

18, 16, 14 PRA in Games 1-3 this series. Played 0 min in 4Q of Game 3. 20 PRA or less in 7 of L8 playoff games, 18 or less in 6 of L8.

A.Davis o3.5 Stl+Blk-110

0.91u

Over in 12/16 playoff games (75%) and averaging 4.6 Has games of 5, 5, 2 vs den so we’re getting the discount after last game where they kinda messed with him due to scheme - figure he can make adjustments and get back to it

N.Jokic o36.5 Pts+Ast-115

Going to just stick to one unit per NBA game from here on out. Been ice cold and re-adjusting

L.James o29.5 Pts+220

0.55u

L.James o24.5 Pts-125

0.8u

Over in 9 of last 10 Elimination Games and averages 35.9 ppg. This goes back a number of years (2016) but I’d expect Bron to leave it all out on the floor.

A.Gordon u20.5 Pts+Rebs+Ast-120

B.Brown o18.5 Pts+Rebs+Ast-120

Over in 5 straight and every game this series as well as 6/7 vs LAL this season overall He’s been solid in every category here and has had consistent minutes

M.Porter o6.5 Rebs-137

0.73u

MPJ has been dominant on the glass during this series averaging 9 rebounds per game on 12.3 chances, the majority of which are uncontested based on scheme. His rebounds line is set at 6.5 (-137 Rivers) a number he has exceeded in all 5 games he’s played against the Lakers this season with 10 boards in two off them. Additionally, he’s averaging 7.9 Rebounds per game during the Playoffs with 7+ in 9/14 and 8+ in 8/14. I would take either the 6.5 or 7.5 at plus money and sprinkle double double in this closeout spot.
