It’s still a game time decision whether Fox is fit enough to play in the first game at home. If he does play, he will be thrown straight back into the starting lineup. Unlike soft tissue injuries that require closely monitored minutes restrictions, a high ankle sprain is either too sore or its not and Fox should be in control of his playing time.

The line is angled toward the minutes restriction as Fox is averaging 18.8PPG for the playoffs. He only went under this line once the entire post season and it took 35%TS to miss. With Dylan Harper questionable, Fox will be a welcome sight for Spurs fans if he can play.

Value Bet

Ajay Mitchell

Has been almost unsighted in the first two games of this series but with the reinjury to Jalen Williams’ hamstring, it should be back to business for AJ.

Mitchell enjoys a 15.5% increase to his points totals without Williams this season. That number skyrocketed in the Lakers series where Mitchell averaged 22.5PPG, clearing this line easily in every game of that series.

During this playoff run, Mitchell has only gone under this number in four of his ten games. Interestingly, he cleared this line every time the Thunder played in an opponent’s stadium.

Fox Over 13.5 Points/ Mitchell 10+ Points/ Wembanyama 12+ Rebounds = $3.00
